Kohls Awesome Clearance Sale Plus 20% off!

I have been looking for some maternity shorts for our upcoming trip, so I went browsing on Kohls website in the clearance section!  I managed to snag 4 pairs of maternity shorts/capris for less than $45 shipped!  How awesome is that!  Browse Kohl’s Clearance section and see what great deals you can find.  You can adjust each section to show you prices from low to high, so you see the cheapest things first!  Almost every section had something for about $2 as well!  Then you can use code UTAKE20 today and tomorrow and save 20% off your order!  Great time to stock up on kids clothing for next year!  Shipping is also just 99 cents, so if you just want one or two items, it won’t break the bank!

Make the deal even better if you shop through Ebates and get 4% cashback!

**** The deal gets even better!  You can also use the code LOWPRICE15 in addition to the UTAKE20 to get an additional 15% off!  So 20% off plus 15% off!  AWESOME!!****

Gap Give and Get Event!

I totally forgot to post about this yesterday, sorry guys!  Starting yesterday through the 29th, you can use THIS COUPON at a Gap, Old Navy, or Banana Republic to save 30% off your purchase!  Stack this with some clearance deals for a fantastic sale!

Happy Friday!

It’s Friday!! The weekend is so close! The best thing about Friday is that is MEGA SWAGBUCKS DAY!!!

What is Swagbucks?
Swagbucks is a search engine similar to google or yahoo, but when you search, you earn SWAGBUCKS! You can use these bucks to get great prizes! 450 bucks gets you a $5 amazon Giftcard! I’ve been a member for about a year and have earned over $300 in Amazon Giftcads, over $120 in Target giftcards, and $75 in Disney giftcards!! Not bad! I plan to use swagbucks giftcards to buy our Christmas presents this year.

How do I sign up?
To sign up, just CLICK HERE and fill out the form. Then start searching!

How else can I earn Swagbucks?
My advice is to fan them on facebook, follow on twitter, and keep an eye on their blog. They will give away codes and then you just paste the code into the homepage and you’ll get more bucks!

Happy Swagbucking! Let me know if you find anything good!

Library Fines Forgiven – Athens Regional Library

Athens residents, I came across this tidbit of info when I was browsing on the Athens Parent website for fun events this weekend.  Make sure you return all of your books to the library so the rest of us can use them!

Got an overdue library book? From Sunday, Aug. 22 through Monday, Sept. 6, you can return overdue Athens Regional Library System materials to any branch and have your overdue fines forgiven.

“Our goal is to cut the number of overdue library books in half,” explained Athens Regional Library System Director Kathryn Ames. “We need those books back on the shelves for other people to enjoy, especially because our materials budget has been cut so severely this year.”

The fine forgiveness does not include lost book fees, processing fees, damaged fees, lost card fees or collection agency referral fees. Materials returned in book drops are eligible for fine forgiveness.

For more information, contact your local Athens Regional Library System branch or log on to: http://www.clarke.public.lib.ga.us
