Birthday Freebies

Yes, Shiloh's birthday is still 4 months away with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas between now and then. Yes, I am already obsessed with where we will have it this year. I am having absolutely NO luck finding an affordable (cheap) and approriate place to have a 2 year olds birthday party.

However, I have found some awesome birthday freebies!!!

My Three Favorites are:

1. Toys R Us looks like it will be my favorite. Register your child's birthday and you will get a 10% off coupon for the month leading up to his/her birthday and THEN your child will get their very own card and gift (I hear it is a $5 gift certificate) from Geoffrey on their birthday!

2. If you register your child at Sonic.com, they will get a coupon for a free kids meal the month of their birthday. Register yourself too as an adult and you'll get a special treat on your birthday as well (though I am not sure what)!

3. The Childrens Place will send you a 15% off coupon for use during your child's birthday month. Who doesn't need a new birthday outfit?

Well back to my search for a party place. If you have any affordable (cheap) and appropriate ideas, please let me know!

Comments

  1. I got a $3 gift certificate from Toys R Us, which is still sort of fun because you can take your child and let him/her choose a small toy. :)

    Corky's has a kids club and you get a free t-shirt for joining and a free kids meal on the month of your child's birthday, which is nice.

Parents and Nutritional Idealogy

Last night I was reading an article in one of my parenting forums. The article itself was innocent enough, dispelling the myth that caffine stunts growth. The comments however, annoyed the crap out of me. “I don't see the point of giving child soda…..They are pretty horrible for you. So why give it to my daughter? There are plenty of other options out there than soda. Caffeine free or not, they don't need all that sugar. The sugar alternatives are just as bad. Their little bodies are developing so fast, why not give them beverages that encourage a healthy mind and body.” “What amazes me, in reading some of these community answers is how much artificial sugar parents are giving their children. Diet soda is no more healthy than regular soda, it doesn't contain sugar but it does contain chemically made ingredients such as aspartame or Nutra Sweet which the FDA says to consume in moderation because long term side effects need to be evaluated. Its unfortunate that even Pedia...

The Project

The project is simple. Write the maker of a product every day for a year. Do not ask them specifically for coupons as I did in the Coupon Mania post. Do not write regarding any particular product more than twice in a year. Do not write any particular parent company more than four time is a month (or once a week). Be honest in what you write, give feed back, ask questions. (NOTE: While I have these categorized by parent company, I never wrote to any parent company more than one time in a day.) JANUARY RESULTS NESTLE: Purina pet food -2 coupons worth $2 each Hot Pockets -2 coupons worth $.40 each SC JOHNSON Ziploc -coupon for free bags ($5 valule) Glade -coupon for a free candle ($6 value) Windex -coupon for a free bottle of Windex ($4 value) SARAH LEE Jimmy Dean - coupon for $1 off and Sarah Lee product CON AGRA Banquet frozen meals - 2 coupons worth $.50 each Kid Cuisines -2 coupons worth $.50 each KIMBERLY CLARK Cottonelle toilet paper - 4 coupons worth $.50 each MCNEIL ...
