You had me at "FREE"....

Anyone that knows me fairly well knows I am frugal (OK fine....cheap, broke...whatever you want to call it), and I LOVE me some coupons. I am that woman standing in the middle of the aisle at the store fumbling through all my coupons to find the best deal. I am not an organized frugal person, and can usually be seen dropping coupons on my way through the store. This was most certainly a frustration for Phil when he had his first ever shopping excursion with me when we moved in together. Now that he's been around the coupon block with me a few hundred times, he is on board. I save us a lot of money with coupons, and I am sorry if I have ever pissed you off in a store- it's so worth it! He does make me organize the coupons according to the layout of the store. Sounds annoying, but it's so worth it- especially since he does most of the shopping since we've had kiddos.

Free is good. No, make that GREAT! I hopped all over free tickets to the Bears game on Sunday. I am not a big football fan, but Phil is so I did it for him, and did I mention they were FREE?

So while I was stalking some other blogs yesterday I came across a mention that Shutterfly is doing 50 FREE holiday photo cards for bloggers. Sounds too good to be true, right? You all know how expensive Christmas cards can be, right? I am actually pretty good about doing them every year, but it's painful to spend the money on something that more than likely will be thrown away (hopefully recycled) at the end of the holidays. I did some research, signed in with Shutterfly and proved to them that I have a blog, and I received an e-mail from them with confirmation that I would indeed get my 50 FREE cards.

I have ordered photo cards from Shutterfly before, and they do a great job. I am really excited this year since they have some really great layouts to choose from. Here are some I am considering:

What do you think? There are so many to choose from. Go see for yourself, and they are very reasonable (even if you're not getting them for free).

I have also done photo mugs for family, and they were a HUGE hit.

And have also done photo calendars which are my fav since it's the gift that gives for 12 months!!!

They have an amazing selection of gifts, and I have never had any issues with ordering and/or quality of their products!
