Adventures in Shopping

Yesterday we went to Wally World.  That being said is enough to make me cringe, especially to those who understand the Wal-Mart we went to.  I hate grocery shopping, but I only needed a few items and I also needed bungee cords, wrapping paper and paint, so in order to go to one place this was where we ended up.  When I shop at this establishment, I like to get in and get out.  I like to think that my children appreciate this too, even when it means using the shopping cart as a race car and draft bumping to get ahead, or going up on 2 wheels when we round corners.  Yesterday was even more race like since we saw the movie cars 2 the day before and Jack was really into zooming and I just went with it!!  It is shopping experiences like this that led me to turn to alternatives like Amazon and Soap.com.  I'll save Amazon for another day.

This week Soap.com has 10% off your entire purchase for all customers who use the code SUMMER10.  I LOVE Soap.com.  They are the sister site of Diapers.com and offer toiletries and other household goods.  I used the site to order toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, and other big bulky items.  This way not only do I get great deals, but it also speeds up my grocery run and I don't have to lug these items out to the car along with the two children (especially important down here where one can get sunburned in the 5 minutes it takes to load the car!!).  They have free 1-2 day shipping when your purchase totals $39 or more.  The web site is really easy to use and they always have great weekly deals.  New customers can get free shipping on their first order of $25 or more.  The site will also let you use manufacturers coupons.  You just need to mail them in and they will credit them to your account.  I usually mail in coupons every 2 or three months.  They will appear under "manufacturers coupons" in "my account," in an easy to read list with expiration dates listed too.  You also receive emails when your coupons are about to expire.  What could be easier than that.  Soap.com is also linked to Diapers.com and Wag.com (the pet store) to make ordering and shipping easy!  If you have never used Soap.com, I urge you to give it a try.  My referral code is LADY6289.  I will get a $5 referral credit to use on the site.  After you sign up, you will be given the chance to create your own code to share with friends and earn credits.
