Gifts in a Jar…
A group of my equally finance-challenged girlfriends and I did this a few years back; we each got a case of Mason jars and had to come up with the most creative gifts packaged in the jars. Mine weren’t that clever (Editor’s note: yes, you’re so shocked, because you know what a Martha Stewart I am) I used my favorite chocolate chunk cookie recipe with the dry goods layered.
But my girlie Martha did a whole afternoon of kid’s activities in a jar…Caroline fit in a pair a shoes (don’t ask, it got weird) and Janna did the Mason jar Night of Romance. It was hysterical! Here’s an entire E Book called “Gifts in a Jar,” and it’s a free-bee! You can download it here. There’s some great ideas for last-minute gifties–nice to have in the closet when someone you didn’t plan on drops by with a gift for you. These cute home made ideas look far more personal than that candle with a ribbon hastily slapped on, eh?

Reason #3,004 to love Lakeshore Learning!
Hey kids, I got this sweet letter from Jessica over at Lakeshore Learning:
“Dear That Went Well: We want to thank you for the great things you’ve been saying about Lakeshore Learning Materials!
As a thank you for your support, we’d like to extend an offer to you and your readers. When buying products on our web site enter coupon code VMB155 at checkout. The code will give the purchaser $5.oo off any $25.00 purchase. This offer will remain valid until 12/31/09. Feel free to post this coupon code on your blog for all your readers to enjoy!
We’d also like to encourage you and your readers to enjoy the free resources available at our web site. We’ve got craft ideas, free clip art, and lots more! Just visit us here.”
How nice! Once again, just enter code VBM155 when picking something up from www.lakeshorelearning.com for $5.00 of a $25.00 purchase. Yay, Lakeshore!
(Editor’s note: one of the warmest endorsements I hear for Lakeshore is from the Autism Moms–these amazing ladies say that nearly everything you can purchase on one of the specialized Autism support sites can be bought at Lakeshore–usually for half the price. It kills me that these families fighting to save their kids with Autism can be overcharged!)

Ready To Coupon?
"Extreme Couponing" on TLC has done one thing for all us would-be frugalistas--while no one I know wants to be quite that crazed, couponing is looking more attractive, am I right? Here's your coupon options in a tidy, almost shamefully easy format:
Cellfire loads coupons directly to your card. Scan that bad boy at checkout--no clipping!
Coupons.com, hands-down my favorite for ease of navigation and big fat coupons. You'll need to download a toolbar to print. Do not fear the toolbar, it will bring you many goodies.
Coupon Deals Daily.com offers 50-90% off items locally available. Worth checking often, since nothing lasts for long.
So, "catalinas" are the slips of paper-style coupons you get at checkout along with your reciept to use for next time. Print them on Coupon Network.com, and use them THIS trip. Clever you!
No insurance? Or does your lousy coverage refuse to pay for certain medications? Enter the Pharmacy Coupons--this network allows you to print coupons for up to 75% off your prescription costs. In the economy? A literal lifesaver.
Red Plum Coupons cover a huge variety--everything from grocery to your local tire store. Take a look around by clicking below.
