Valentine Coupons for kids!

/8 Comments/in /by

I love Life As Mom.com.  Jessica has some great coupons that can be customized–I’m loving that idea because my kids all have a different love language.  I wrote about Love Languages a while back and my kids float between all of them–just when I think I have it ALL figured out–THEY CHANGE!!!

Check out the printable coupons here and read about the five love languages affirmation, touch, service, gifts, and quality time.  If you combine your child’s love language with the “value” of the coupon–it is going to be awesome.

But if you get stuck here are some ideas:

  1. one night of pizza
  2. one trip to the store for ice cream
  3. 1 hour of TV or staying up late
  4. an extra glass of juice
  5. 1 hour of mommy time
  6. 1 hour of daddy time
  7. 1 pass on putting your clothes away (or another chore)
  8. 5 extra kisses at night or read an extra book
  9. 1 stuffed animal of your choice (I have one kid who loves stuffed animals)
  10. I’ll make your favorite meal

Kids love to be pampered in the way that matters most to them . . . just like we (adults) need to be pampered in the way that means the most to us!

Be blessed as you pour out the love your child needs!

Frugal Friday: Free Apps!

/2 Comments/in /by

I get great deals on Starbucks coffee–about once every 3 months I get $1 or $1.50 off coupons for Starbucks coffee–then I wait for the sale–for $6 a bag.  Then if you save the bag you can “cash” that in for a free cup of coffee–a value of $1.50.

I boil water in my tea pot, then use a pour over method–the best coffee ever!

I found that I was pouring too much coffee down the drain, then I went through a phase of not drinking coffee, now I’m back to have a cup in the morning . . .

A few months ago I noticed that Starbucks has free apps.  At first I ignored them until I saw and app that my nephew had . . . I had seen the kids play it and free is free!

Some of the free apps from Starbucks

Do I use all these apps?  No–I do pick them up and give them to kids that I think might like them–it is fun, free, and a great excuse to go into Starbucks (which is not very difficult because the grocery store and Target both have them)!

Be blessed as you find fun ways to save money.
