Deal Of The Day | Mommy Makes Cents

Vote for me!

By Danielle on April 14, 2011

Hello all!

Over at the new Hopscout site (formally Lilluxe) they have made a bunch of great changes! They are now turning their focus to really finding good quality products that are tried, tested and approved. Then they are giving us great deals on these products! Sounds like it is right up my alley!!

With launching this new and updated site they also started up this new competition of sorts. They are looking to hire 5 stay at home moms (or dads) to help them review and test out products to be sure they match their quality standards.

To be considered for one of these positions potential candidates needed to submit a 90 sec video on the Hopscout facebook page and get votes on their video from anyone and everyone on facebook.

At the end of voting time (Friday April 22nd) the top 20 videos with the most votes will then become finalists for the 5 positions. These top 20 will then be given a chance to try out and review a product for submission. Hopscout will then choose the 5 new Hopscout Editors out of these submissions.

I bet you know what is coming here

I am participating in the video and voting portion of this now and I would love to have your vote! Please go to THIS LINK and click on the vote button. You may need to ‘like’ their facebook page in order to vote as well. Then if you could also share my video link with any and all of your friends and family it would be very much appreciated!

I really feel that this job would be right up my alley and so much fun to have the chance to get! Please help me get that chance!

Thank you so much loyal readers!!!!

Daily deal sites that do not need an invite to check out:

Group or Local Deal Sites:

A few things to think about with daily deal sites:

-Do you really need it? Daily deal sites work on impulse buying and the sense of urgency. Before you purchase anything be sure to stop and think if you really need the item or if you are just getting it because of the ‘awesome’ deal.

-Check the shipping. Lots of times the shipping on these deals depend on where you live. If the shipping brings the deal up to it’s regular price then it is not really worth it.

-Look at the different rules on each site. Some sales are final on these sites, so make sure that the item you are getting is the right size, something you really want etc.

Happy Deal Hunting!!

Sunday March 27th Daily Deal Pick of the Day!

By Danielle on March 27, 2011

Today my Pick of the Day is: The Kid Fairy over on DealPulp! This looks like a really cute idea. Basically “the Kid Fairy” will send a rewards packet with a personalized letter to your child in the mail to help them overcome whatever obstacle they are facing such as Going to Bed, Potty Training or Trying New Foods (I am looking at the Staying In Your Bed Packet ). You can even create your own packet if they don’t have what you are looking for. Normally these packets are $15.95 but today DealPulp has them for $6! That is 62% off!! Awesomeness! Check it out!

Runner Up Deal: Today my runner up deal comes from The Foundary. They have a weekend event going on for storage ottomans. These look great to use in your living room to store toys in instead of a giant plastic toy box! And the corners are padded so much safer that a regular toy box. And with the great prices who can resist? The one pictured above is the 2-in-1 Faux Leather Storage Ottoman in Black marked down to only $39 from $149!

Note: both of these deals are featured on invitation only sites, so be sure to click on my links above to gain access! Enjoy!

Thursday March 24 Daily Deal Pick of the Day!

By Danielle on March 24, 2011

Welcome to day 2 of my Daily Deal Pick of the Day!!

Today my top pick is: Zolo Toys on HauteLook today. These toys look adorable and great for any little one to play with. And these prices are amazing as well at about 50% off (depending on the item). Think about upcoming Easter baskets for your little ones!

Note: HauteLook is an invite only site, so be sure to click on my links to gain access if you don’t have it already.

Runner up Deal: Today my runner up deal comes from Olivia Place. They have an item called The Diaper Clutch over there today. This little thing looks adorable and most of all useful! Basically it is a little pouch that you can put diapers and a wipes case in. The cool part though is that there is a little window that you can open in the side of the pouch to get into your wipes! This is so a grab and go item! Throw it in your diaper bag or in the stroller and just grab it when you need to run for a change! Love it!
