Savings on Sun Protective Clothing for Children Using Upromise, Land's End, and Discover Cash Back Rewards

It's time for a post!

I'm still excited about the savings I made yesterday:

Instead of paying $29.94 I paid $4.94!!!

I was looking online for rash guards with high SPF/UV protection for the boys. I found one for my older son at Land's End when I bought his backpack there. It was just $9.99 (original $24.99) and I bought it as well.

He liked it and it fits perfectly so I decided to get one for him and his brother next year. Of course, the $9.99 one was gone. But there were still some available for $12.99 (original $26.50) & $14.99 (original $27.50). Still a good deal if one asks me, since good sun protection is priceless.

Also, there was the offer fro free shipping from Lan's End.

I always check for deals first just using google.com and then I check the Upromise.com website if they are partners. Usually I find wat I'm looking for there, so I login to my account (get one, it's free and you can save so much money for your childs/children's education!!! and shop via there link. Depending on the partner, there's usually a percentage off which will be added to the upromise account.

In tis case, 3% from Lan's End (landsend.com)

On top of that, I used my Discover credit card's Rewards, which translates into:

$25 value Electronic Certificate for $20 Cash Rewards.

So again, instead of paying $29.94 I paid only $4.94. (If considering the original prices for the rash guards, the savings are even better...)

And of course, on the $4.94 I'll receive 3% into the Upromise account and 1% Cash back rewards for using one of my Cash back Rewards cards.

Natural All Purpose Cleaner Recipe

...it's time to sweep the floor! Not my favorite activity, but since I use a cleaner I feel good about, it's much more satisfying (if one can say so...)

Thought I share the 'recipe' (I adpated from several I found online and in magazines, like 'REAL SIMPLE'

All Purpose Cleaner

mix about 1 tsp. liquid soap with 1 qt. warm water
add some lemon juice or vinegar (or both) (helps cutting the grease)

That's it! Go mop and don't worry anymore about those chemicals.

Happy cleaning :-)
