Spa Week

Spa Week is back!  For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Spa Week, it typically happens twice a year (September/October and April).  During a one week time frame select spas offer certain spa services at a discounted flat rate of $50.00.  The goal is to introduce people to Spa offerings.  Spa Week is a personal favorite of mine as I've been participating the past few years.  Getting a 1 hour massage, facial or mani/pedi for $50 each is a deal I can't pass up.  Make sure to locate your participating local spa at: spaweek.com (email registration required.)

Spa Week spa deals may differ and I highly recommend you book now as most spas book up fast for these great services!

GetGlue.com - Check in to your Favorites....

I recently discovered GetGlue after reading an article about a site that offered stickers for checking in or liking different things.  You can earn a wide variety of stickers for checking in to your favorite books, music, TV shows and movies.  It's similar to the Foursquare set up of earning badges for checking in.  The difference with GetGlue.com is that after you earn 7 stickers, they'll mail you the real things for free!  Check it out here.

Ebates: Get Cash Back for your Online Purchases

I really miss the Bing Cashback program.  I saved a lot of money and loved that they paid you 60 days from purchase date.  Now that the Bing program has ended I'm back to using Ebates.  Ebates is a great program that gives you cashback on your online purchases.  You can be paid via check or PayPal and they pay you once you earn $5.00 in Cashback.  They have double cashback on many online stores right now for Back to School.  If you haven't already joined I highly recommend you check them out.   Ebates

AAA Prescription Plan - Can cover pets too!

I just learned that AAA now offers discounts on prescriptions. The ad I heard mentioned they also covered prescriptions for animals that are on human medicine. As the mommy of an adorable Silky Terrier, who also happens to be blind and diabetic, this was of utmost interest to me. All you need to do is go to  AAA.com/prescriptions. You will then be taken to a page where you enter part of your AAA number into a card that can be presented to your local participating pharmacy. I'm going to be sure to use this the next time I purchase my dog's insulin and needles for her diabetes. If you have medicine not covered by insurance and have AAA, you may want to check it out!   Check it out at:  AAA.com/prescriptions.

Swaptree Review

I'm an avid reader and when I don't go to the library, I get my books at the local used book store where I can buy them cheap.  The problem I often encounter is finding a home for the books I've just finished reading.  Enter, Swaptree!   Swaptree allows you to trade your books, DVD's, CD's , Video Games and Audio Books with others on the site.  Once you list some items for trade, you will get a list of possible items you can swap for.  Swaptree offers a 1 to 1 trade and you are not tied to trading a book for a book.  You can trade a book for a DVD, or a Video Game for an Audio Book, basically whatever is available to you for trade is up for grabs!  All you do is pay shipping.  I've started listing a few books and hope to make some trades soon.  Check it out at:  Swaptree.com.
