Eat Healthy - FREE!!!

So, one thing that every woman (mommy or not) has to shop for is food... in my quest to eat and feed my family more healthy foods, I've turned to Earth Fare. If you're lucky enough to have one near you, be sure to sign up for their Pantry Makeover. It's completely free and a great way to try their healthy alternatives to some of the foods you eat everyday. Just fill out the online form and pick out some items from your pantry (even half empty!), take them to your local EF and they'll exchange them for their brands in full sizes! I'm completely pleased with all the products I've tried and my husband even asked me to buy more of their peanut butter (no small feat!). I've found that their products are very high quality, packaging is earth friendly, prices are competitive and selection is very good. Remember to bring your own reusable totes as they're doing away with plastic bags :) Also, be sure to sign up for their e-mails as each week they'll send you a coupon or two for free items.

Some of my Favorite Shopping Sites

Here's a little secret: lately I've been really into some different "Deal a Day" websites. I have been trying to share them with all my friends when I find a "deal" I think that they might be interested in and it's been really hard to keep track of who I've told, etc. So, rather than try to keep up with it all through Gmail, I've decided to post here and just let you all know about this blog. I have a *little* shopping problem and I think it's helpful that I at least know how to save money when shopping for all the nice things I *have* to have :)

So, here's a bit of a list.

The first is a list of sites that you join by invitation. Just to let you know upfront, when someone joins and makes their first purchase the invite-er (is that a word?) does earn credit to shop with; but all your friends will want to join and shop so you'll earn credits, too :) Most of the sales change daily or weekly and end sooner if the items sell out beforehand. You'll have an opportunity to sign up for which sale alerts you'd like (if any) and I will post here when there are ones coming up that I think are super fantastic!

Gilt - this is my favorite so far...lately they've had Petunia Pickle Bottom (my very favorite diaper bags), Maclaren, Mia Bossi, Orla Kiely and the list goes on and on and on.
