Zulily

One word for you mamas out there  -- Zulily.  Some of you are saying "Girl, yes!" while some of you haven't gotten a chance to check it out yet.  If you haven't been there yet, what are you waiting for?  Awesome stuff, awesome prices.

When it comes to clothes, accessories, shoes, etc., I don't do full price.  I'm a couponer (not the crazy kind -- though I secretly wish I had time to be) and a person who looks for the best deal all the time.

So when I found out about Zulily, I was in awe.  LOVE.  I recently bought spring clothes for my little one -- bishop dresses, jumpers, my husband bought her a pair of shoes (he likes the site, too!), and I'm going to browse their books soon.  Yes, they have deals on books and toys as well as stuff for mama.

So, what's the negative?  Well, this is relative, but you typically won't get your get stuff in just a few days.  In a nutshell, this it how it works:

  1. Sale opens.
  2. You order from Zulily.
  3. Sale closes (usually within 72 hours).
  4. They submit their order to the brand/manufacturer.
  5. The items are shipped to Zulily.
  6. Then the items are shipped to you.

So common sense will tell you that your order won't be shipped to you in the same week.   And with that being said, you shouldn't order something you need quickly.  But other than that, no real negatives.  When I had questions about the process, I emailed them and someone responded promptly (which is the source of the information above).

I'm very much in love with Zulily now.  If that changes, I'll be sure to come back and update.  If you're a mama, soon-to-be-mama, future mama, or have kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc. get on over to Zulily, check out the awesome selection, and save yourself some money!

Oh! One last thing (how could I forget?) -- the stuff sells fast!  Early morning shopping gets you the best selection!

Barnes and Noble Membership and Kids' Club

I don't buy books often (I'm semi-addicted to the public library), but when I do, Barnes and Noble is one of my spots.  I shop there enough to take advantage of their B&N Membership, which only costs $25/year.  You save 40% off hardcover bestsellers, 20% off ALL adult hardcovers, and 10% off everything else.  On top of those savings, you can use coupons they email you.  My favorite part of the whole membership:  when I order online, I get FREE EXPRESS SHIPPING.  Every time!


They also have their Kids' Club!  You get savings opportunities, loyalty rewards, and a newsletter, but my favorite thing so far about the Kids' Club:  for my daughter's birthday, she got a free cupcake from their cafe'! (They email you the voucher to be redeemed in the store.)  She also got an offer for a free digital book from Tikatok. 

Go here to check out the B&N Membership and here to check out their Kids' Club.  Good stuff!
