Bargain Moose

I saw an ad for this on TV: where the kids open a story book and it’s their Grandma’s voice who is reading it to them. I thought it was so sweet! I looked it up online and found a coupon for it. You can get $5 off one of Hallmark’s Holiday Recordable Storybooks (reg. $29.95).

I thought this would be a wonderful gift from someone who couldn’t be their for the Holidays, like a parent or grandparent. Their voice could be recorded reading the book and the book given to the child as a present. So in a way they are there, but not there. Anyway, it sounded sweet in my head.

This sounds like a good freebie!! Hallmark Cards are offering you up to 10 free samples of their greeting cards. You can order them online. Firstly, go to Hallmark, then click through to select an individual card. Then you’ll see a little link underneath the card saying “request a sample card”. Click that and enter your details.

These are completely free and you don’t even have to pay the shipping charges within Canada! One possible drawback – I’ve read on other forums that they stick “sample” on some of the cards, so there is a chance you might get 1 or 2 of those.

If I gave one of the sample ones to one of my family members, they’d probably laugh, knowing how much of a bargain-hunter I can be!! I love getting stuff for free!
