Day 7 of No Dining Out December Posted: 07 Dec 2010 05:08 AM PST Can you go an entire month without going out to eat? What about a week or a day?

The rules: 1. You must challenge yourself. Try to spend less than you spend now. If you don’t go out to eat at all, challenge yourself to try new meals this month. As long as you are challenging yourself when it comes to your family’s eating habits, you can participate! My progress: My hubby is working long hours due to the holidays and he is going out for lunch to escape the crazies. He spent $6 at the mexican restaurant yesterday. How are you doing? |

Disney World Training: Is there such a thing as a cheap one day ticket? Posted: 06 Dec 2010 06:05 PM PST So you are going to Disney for just one day and you need to know how to get cheap tickets….. well that’s hard. Disney doesn’t want you to just go for one day, so they make their one day tickets outrageous. The longer your ticket is for, the cheaper it is per day. A one day ticket for an adult is $82 and for a child is $74. Authorized Disney ticket sellers like Undercover Tourist don’t even offer a 1 day option. However their muli-day tickets are cheaper than Disney’s prices. There are timeshares that offer one day tickets if you are interested in sitting through one of them for your tickets. However there are many that are not legit and it might be a waste of time. Don’t fall for the scams as you drive down to Disney that advertise free or cheap tickets. You will only be out time, energy and money. Buying tickets online from people on Ebay or Craigslist is risky business. If they were already used at Disney and they are selling days left, there is a chance that you will get rejected at Disney and not be allowed to use them. I would not risk it. If you are going to Disney in the fall or during Christmas, they do have the 2 parties: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Tickets are $53.95 for adults and $47.95 for children. These tickets will let you into the Magic Kingdom in the evening for the party. Most rides are operating at this time, so that is an option. If you have any suggestions on how to save on one day tickets, please let me know! |

Christmas Party: Enter to win a $25 Disney gift card (can be used at Disney World, Disneyland, etc) Posted: 06 Dec 2010 04:17 PM PST Yesterday I announced that Couponing to Disney’s new official travel agent is Mouse Unlimited. I chose them for many reasons, but the main one was their character. They are good, honest people who make it their mission to save you money. And it doesn’t cost you a dime. You pay the exact same with an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner (a.k.a. Disney Travel Agency) like Mouse Unlimited as you would if you called Disney directly! Now that is pretty neat. I am using Mouse Unlimited for my 2011 trip and I am so happy with the service they have given me. And I am not an easy person to work with. But Tom has been so kind and understanding and quick to give me what I want. And he knows Disney like the back of his hand. Almost as well as I do. Now that’s something! (haha) And to celebrate this partnership, Mouse Unlimited is going to give one amazing Couponing to Disney reader a Disney gift card. This gift card can be used to pay for your vacation, pay for a meal at Disney, purchase your souvenirs, etc. Here’s how to enter:

Christmas Party: 1 reader will win a My Great Potty Adventures book! Posted: 06 Dec 2010 03:49 PM PST My son was a late at potty training. And he has just now started using public restrooms. and that was a challenge. When we were out and about and he had to use the bathroom, he would scream bloody murder when I took him into the public bathrooms. He ONLY liked his potty and that was it. And you can imagine the looks I would get from people…. When I learned about My Great Potty Adventure, it was an answer to my prayers. It is such a brilliant concept! Each passport (you can choose from pink or blue) comes with different potty adventures and matching stickers to use when you complete them. They range from using the bathroom at the grocery store to using the bathroom at a friend’s house. Jacob loved it! He was so excited to use the bathroom to be able to record his adventure in the passport. And I was glad that he was willing to do it somewhat hassle free (the first time was a headache but after that it was pretty much smooth sailing). The My Great Potty Adventure books are just $9.99 and they ship free! You can choose from pink or blue. And if this is a battle you are fighting, I suggest you pick one up. You won’t regret it. My Great Potty Adventure has generously agreed to give one amazing Couponing to Disney reader a passport for their child. You can even choose the color! Here’s how:
My Great Potty Adventure was kind enough to provide me with one as well as one to giveaway. All words and opinions are my own! |

They are committed to unique accessories, great prices, amazing monogramming, and wonderful customer service! When she first contacted me, I was still pregnant and I decided to pick the 3 piece quilted diaper bag/tote bag/purse. It is such a cute bag and I could not resist it. I decided I didn’t care if the baby was a girl or a boy….. I knew that I would look CUTE wearing that bag. And I am so glad that I did. This bag is awesome. It has 3 pockets on the front of the bag which are great for carrying things like bottles, powder, toys, etc. The back also contains a zippered pocket which is great for carrying a little cash. The front of the bag is white and black polkadots with a pink grosgrain ribbon. The top half is solid black and great for monogramming with whatever you want! The back is white and black polkadot as well as the bonus zippered pouch. The bag is 13 inches wide and 3 inches tall. It comes with a padded changing pad that is just the right size. I really like this bag. It is very well made and it could pass for a purse or a tote! Now that I have lost the baby, I think I might just use it to tote stuff around. I just love it so much! Miss Lucy Monograms has generously agreed to give one AMAZING Couponing to Disney reader a $30 gift card to choose whatever item they would like. They carry everything from Aprons to Watches!

Amazon.com: Garmin 4.3 inch Widescreen for $79.54 shipped! Posted: 06 Dec 2010 02:12 PM PST Here is a HOT deal on a Garmin. Amazon.com has the Garmin 4.3 inch widescreen portable GPS navigator for just $79.54 shipped. I am personally ticked off at this price since I gave $117 for this last February. We love our Garmin though. It has not let us down yet. We used it to get to Disney and back as well as various trips around town.
