When money gets tight many of us sacrifice things that we need to make sure that the folks around us have what they need. For me that was glasses for years. I would just squint or accept life a little blurry because money for glasses just wasn’t in the budget. That was before the days of FREE glasses though!
Right now new Coastal.com users can get a FREE pair of glasses!!
To get the deal:
1. Go to Coastal.com and click the “Really?! Click Now” button.
2. Click the “Get your free pair now” and then start browsing.
3. Pick your frames and enter your prescription.
4. Use promo code FIRSTPAIRFREE at checkout.
You will have to pay shipping and handling costs, and any lens upgrades are an additional cost. Keep in mind that this promotion is for first time Coastal.com glasses customers only. Certain frames are also not eligible.
All the fine print aside, I was able to get a great pair of glasses for $15 and that definitely beats the $200 I remember paying for an old pair!
Oh and they also have great prices on contacts too.
Best Buy is offering a free movie code each day for 8 days on their Facebook page!
The code is good for a free movie download from CinemaNow.
The new code is posted at 4 pm CT everyday. You will need to create a CinemaNow account (which is free) and put the coupon code in at check out.

Many people have asked about ways to earn money from home and which sites are legitimate. Surveys.com is a great site where you can earn cash rewards and reward points that can be exchanged for prizes at any time.
They are currently accepting applications into their online market research program. There are only a limited number of spots open though, so if you want to try it you should go ahead and take a second to register.
Surveys.com is an Online Research Community operated by GfK. GfK is a top-ten market research company, working with research firms across the US and Europe.
Reward Points
In addition to cash rewards, most surveys offer rewards that range from 375 to 750 points. You also get 25 points for any survey even if you don’t qualify for it!!
The reward points can be exchanged anytime by selecting from a variety of prizes. They can be as simple as a single MP3 digital music track or $25 dinning certificate, all the way up to major rewards like a Maytag French Door Refrigerator. Obviously, the more time and effort you put into Surveys.com, the more you can get out of it (though earning that fridge is gonna take a long while…).
The surveys are easy to do I tend to get offers at least twice a month.
Cardstore.com is putting their entire site on sale 60% off. This is today only, so if you want or need any holiday cards, or personalized greeting cards for any other events you want to check out what they have. You can get awesome custom greeting cards for as low as 35¢ each!!
