Killer Deal

-
Seriously, I love Amazon.  My friends and family make fun of me all of the time, but I have gotten some incredible deals on the site.  A while back, I bought diapers using a coupon I received in a Parenting Magazine.  With the coupon, I also received free 2-day shipping.  I paid $0.11/diaper for Luvs brand diapers. I was beyond happy to get diapers at such a great deal and have them delivered to my doorstep in 2 days.  A couple of days later, I received an email telling me I qualified for a 3-month trial of Amazon Prime because I had purchased the diapers.  The free trial expired in November.   Currently, I am a member of Amazon Mom, which gives me the free 2-day shipping benefit.  

I have also become addicted to the Subscribe and Save option on Amazon.  I buy our k-cups through this program.  By doing so, my coffee comes to my house with 2-day free shipping, for $0.47/k-cup. The price for K-cups has gone on up Amazon, it used to be $0.35/k-cup, but at the $0.47/k-cup it’s still cheaper than going to Hannaford or Target.  A typical 12 cup box will cost you $8.49 ($0.71/k-cup) at Hannaford.  Plus, the husband and I love JetFuel and this cannot be found at the local places.   By choosing Subscribe and Save when checking out, you get to determine the quantity of the item you want and the frequency.  You also can order the product early (which I do for coffee quite frequently) if you are running low.  I have bought Izze, diapers, wipes, peanut butter, and cereal.  (I buy Honey Nut Cheerios for $6.43/3 boxes).   The other part of Subscribe and Save is that you can cancel at any time. 

My most recent Amazon Deal was Pamper Kandoo Flushable Wipes 6 packages of 50 count (300 wipes!) for $14.94 and if you select Subscribe and Save, you save 30% which brings the price down to $10.46.  I had a $10 coupon from Parenting Magazine that had to be used by 2/28/11.  So, guess what?  When I get home today, I will have 300 flushable wipes and all I paid for it was $0.46!  Now that’s a deal!  Especially when I have a potty training 2-year old daughter.

The (Wright) Right Socks for ME! + Giveaway

Socks are very important to a runner.   If they rub you the wrong way, it will make for a very uncomfortable run.  Bunching up, toes too cold, too hot, rubbing - all things that can go wrong with a sock.  I'm sure there are some other scenarios I've left out. Thanks to Tom and Kim at WrightSock , I had the chance to try some of their socks out.  Since I wear a size 9 and my size is borderline between a medium and a large, Tom thought it was best for me to try out   both the medium socks and the large socks. I was sent the Running II Double Layer Socks and the Merino TRL Double Layer Socks to try out.  I've never tried out double layer socks before.  Sometimes I have worn two pairs of socks in the winter, but there has been a lot of rubbing which has led to some unpleasant blisters.  Yuck. First up, Running II sock, retail price $12.00. I tried out the medium and large in the quarter sock.   I wore the mediums for my 12 miler with the girls on New Year's Da

I GLOW + giveaway

Running at night scares used to terrify me.  But, it all comes down to if I want to run I had to get over this fear.  Running in the darkness is my only option if I plan on running Monday through Friday since it’s dark before school and getting dark when I leave school and it’s going to be this way until mid February/March.  I supposed option B would be to rejoin the gym, but I really don’t want to spend the $$ and I don’t really enjoy the treadmill anymore.  So, outside it is! I’ve put a lot of thought into what I need to feel safe to run at night.  First and foremost, I needed some new gear to help me out, which lead me to RoadID for some help in this area. This company is fantastic.  It was founded by Michael and Edward Wimmer, a father/son owned company.  Read the story here .  Last fall, I had purchased my own ShoeID.  I like the simplicity of it and that ease of putting it on any pair of shoes (with laces) as I head out the door.  There is some great comfort knowing t

Tommie Rocks + Giveaway!

 A little over a month ago, Jordan from  Tommie Copper  sent me some Tommie Copper gear to sample.  I nearly peed my pants with excitement when the Tommie package came in the mail.  It was a gorgeous fall afternoon AND I had new gear to try out, so I pushed dinner back and made the executive decision to go for a run immediately.  Have you heard about Tommie Copper ?  This company is known for it’s compression gear that is infused with Copper.  So, why does Tommie use copper in it’s compression gear?  From what I gather, copper has been used medicinally for 1000’s of years.  Apparently copper stimulates the immune system to fight infections, repairs injured tissues and promotes healing.  Do you think if I outfitted myself in TC gear and wore it to school everyday, I would fight off those gross elementary kid germs?  I’m tempted to try that out.  Seriously.   Why do people even wear compression gear?  Do they just like wearing tight clothing? Actually, Tommie’s compression line i
