Weekend Deals

So, I decided to do something a little bit different on Saturdays.  I am going to highlight some of the awesome deals that I find online on Saturday morning.  I don't necessarily buy anything, but I really do enjoy looking at all of the things that are out there! 

I'm going to say this up front: This post contains Affiliate Links.  Your purchases go to help us fix up the Money Pit that we call our house....  Thank you.

ZAYCON FOODS

I hit up my local farmer for beef and poultry, but there are some things that my local farmers just don't carry.  Seafood is one of those things!  Zaycon has fantastic deals on seafood that I just can't resist.  I know that Zaycon has other fantastic food.  We've tried most of it.  It is really good, and very tasty.  Zaycon brings a huge refrigerated truck to some central location, and you drive to the truck and they put the food in your trunk.  You pay when you order, and pick up is easy.  You MUST make certain that you refrigerate or freeze the food as soon as you get home.  And you MUST go straight home.  The chicken is never frozen when you get it, so you must be prepared to not only get the chicken home quickly, but get it wrapped up and stored in the freezer or refrigerator quickly.

Food that's available through Zaycon in my area this month:

Pulled Pork
Pork Sausage Links
Hickory Smoked Bacon


E-BATES
I have to admit, I'm pretty enamored of the entire e-Bates experience.  I go online through them, and then I get a percentage of the money spent back to me four times a year.  For our reservations for vacation this year, I've gone through E-Bates and Groupon extensively in order to save money on our upcoming vacation.  They've been a very big help in keeping the cost of lodging down to an acceptable level.


AMAZON
Prime Day is coming up on July 12.  Not only will they have exclusive deals just for Prime Members, it's a pretty awesome program in and of itself.  Last year on Prime Day, I bought a Fire Stick for less than half price, and a Kindle for my oldest son for a ridiculously low price.  Not only did I spend next to nothing on these items, I got free shipping.

So what else do I get with Prime?  Free shipping on everything.  With kids still in college, we've been ordering textbooks through Amazon and they are shipping to us for FREE!  Daughter was able to find a couple of textbooks on Kindle - which saved her a boatload of money over having to deal with a heavy textbook. Prime Members can borrow one book a month from the Kindle Lending Library, and we've taken full advantage of that over the past year! We also stream video from Amazon using our Fire Stick.  It plugs into the back of the television and hooks up to our wireless network.  It's awesome!  There are so many benefits to using Prime - what are you waiting for?  Give it a try!  Even better, you can give it a one month free trial and take advantage of the deals on Prime Day.






Zulilly

Zulilly always has awesome deals, waiting to be found.  This morning, I found Crayon Rocks!!

These awesome crayons are designed for little hands, and help them work on their grip (and small motor skills) while they are having fun at the same time!  Zulily has several different sets to choose from, and they are up to 40% off of the regular retail price.

And because it's just so darn cute, I had to cut and paste these hair tutorials from Zulily for two hair styles from Frozen.  I wish daughter hadn't cut her hair, because I would totally be doing this to her before she went to work this afternoon.  Can't you see her working the register with the Royal Updo going on?
