30% Cashback through Live.com!

Just letting everybody know about a pretty cool deal through Live.com! If you need to buy anything off Ebay and you have been putting it off, you might want to consider doing it now while you can get 30% off.

My son's birthday is coming up in about 2 weeks and I needed to buy some stuff for him so I finally took an advantage of it now, plus some stuff I have been wanting forever =) This is what I have bought so far:

Lego Star Wars PS3
Lego Batman PS3
New ac adapter for my laptop
Betty Crocker's 100 piece cake decorating kit (be wanting FOREVER!)
Foodsaver 2840 machine

All of this stuff was brand new and I paid 250$ for it through Paypal, BUT in 60 days I will getting back about 70$ through Live.com back to my Paypal account which makes everything I got about 180$ and that is including shipping! Not the best deal I know, but considering the PS3 games were 50$ a piece and the Foodsaver is 150$ retail, I think I did pretty good!

All you have to do is go to Live.com and type in "cheap wii" in the search box. The next page will bring up a bunch of search results, right above them you should see a banner that says something along the lines of "Buy Wii cheap! You may get 30% cashback if Paypal eligible" and it will have a Ebay web address. Click that and them just search for whatever you want to buy, but it has to be a buy it now auction to get the cashback. Click on buy it now and on the confirm page you will see a banner towards the bottom that says how much cashback you will get if you buy it. That's how you know you will get cashback, if you don't see this banner then you won't get any cashback. Buy your item and wait a few minutes and check your Ebay messages and click on the "You earned cashback" and follow the directions!

You have to click on the banner on the Live.com search page to actually get in on the cashback, if you don't do this you won't see any cashback offers.

I hope this helped somebody! Don't wait too long because the 30% cashback is a huge special, it is usually only 8%!

Life Update

I am really sorry that I haven't been keeping up with things lately, I am behind at everything I normally do... and I never thought I would be. The baby does have a lot to do with it because I like to hold him all the time and it's hard to get anything done, I guess I could put him down and do stuff but I just don't want to, I would rather be holding him =) So now that a new month is starting tomorrow I am going to try and set some resolutions to follow and get myself back on track. I am actually so behind on stuff that I had a ton of the Kraft free coupons that were going to expire tonight that I almost did not use! Luckily I did remember and got to the stores to use them, and I still have to make another trip tonight to use the rest of my 9/30 expiring coupons.

Just letting myself get behind for the past 2 months have made me extremely lazy, and I really do not like that. I guess from not doing anything like I used to do has made me get into the habit of not doing anything, and that is a really hard habit to break! If anybody has any ideas on how to make myself start doing stuff again please let me know, I need a motivation makeover!

I am not really liking how I do my deal postings, all of them on Sunday and such, so I am going to start posting them each time I go shopping. This will be easier for me and you, mainly because I won't be posting 30 deals at a time, and it gives you a chance to copy my deals before the sales are over. I think this will work out nicely.

I still haven't gone back to work on my normal stay at home computer job... I am just so burnt out on it after doing it for the past 5, almost 6, years. I know the extra income really helps us so I have to get back to it, but I just really do not like doing it anymore. I guess I don't have too much to complain about though, I am sure other people have it worse than I do so I am grateful for what I do have.

Anyways, I think that's about all I have to say for now. I am going to post all of my deals up to today and then I will start posting each one as I do it =)

I hope everybody has been doing great with couponing!

Good Deal Alert @ Walmart

If your Walmart has a clearance section be sure to check it for Maybelline Great Lash mascara in the 2 for 1 packages, they were clearanced to 1.00$ in my store and I had 13 coupons so I got 26 free tubes of mascara!!
