My cousin Erin is a travel agent in State College, PA, but also one of the biggest Disney enthusiasts I know! She started a blog about all things Disney, and today’s post talks about the value of a Disney vacation and staying on Disney property compared to an off property location in Lake Buena Vista. Here’s a portion of her post and a link to read the rest. Her contact info is on her site, but I’ll post it below as well. She planned our latest cruise to Bermuda and even thought she’s my cousin and I have to say this, she did an amazing job and took all the work out of planning for us so we were just able to sit back and relax. Here’s part of today’s post:

Want to earn some free books? Of course you do! Who wouldn’t want FREE books???
All you have to do is purchase specially marked Kellogg’s products at Walmart and receive a $5 Book Coupon for every (2) Kellogg’s codes you enter! You can earn as many $5 Book Coupons as you would like between now and July 1, 2012 – there’s no limit! Your Kellogg’s codes can be found on the inside of the boxes of participating products sold at Walmart only.
Enter your codes here to receive your $5 Book Coupon! And if you’ve seen a Scholastic Book Club flyer, you know that they always have books under $5, sometimes you can score them for $1!
You can redeem your coupons one of these two ways:
1) When your child brings home their Scholastic Book Club order form, you can either order online (if your teacher accepts online orders), or choose one book from the flyer ($5 or less), write the name of the book on your coupon, and give it to your child’s teacher with your Book Club order form! If you do order online, your teacher will receive one free book for each order that will be for classroom use!
2) If your child does not receive the Scholastic Book Club flyers, order online at Scholastic Store to select your free book! Orders under $25 will be charged shipping and handling. Only one $5 Book Coupon can be used per transaction.

So, I’m getting ready to attempt my first time at OAMC. If you don’t know what that is, it stands for Once A Month Cooking.Basically, you cook your meals ahead of time, or get your casseroles ready, and freeze them until you need them for dinner. It not only helps you save time in the long run, but also money, and the meals will be healthier! If you have a meal ready to go already, you’re less likely to splurge on eating a meal out! I’m doing a couple things for breakfasts, a couple lunches, and a few dinners. If it’s successful, I’ll be posting my pictures, thoughts, recipes, and tips!
Well, I better get started! I have 8 recipes ready to go! Wish me luck!

We had an online site for Trey while I was pregnant and it made it so easy to share my progress with family and friends. Plus we just printed it out and added it to his baby book when he was born. Click here to start yours!

Hi, my name's April, I live in PA with my adorable son and boyfriend of 11 years. Just like many other families around us, we're trying to save money to be able to enjoy all of the little things in life. I started this blog in 2009 in hopes to keep myself focused, and help a few friends and family members...I quickly learned how many people want to learn how to be frugal! So, follow my blog to stay up to date on coupons, sales, and freebies!
