I need a new phone. Like whoah. Somehow Gazelle knew, and they sent me an email with some really great deals.

For the record, I have an iPhone 5s, and it’s almost 4 years old. The battery drains from 100% to dead in less than 3 hours. Yeah. It’s time for a new phone.

Thankfully Gazelle has the hook up!

By purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned device from Gazelle, you can pay less for popular devices such as the devices shown here:

iPhone XS Max 64GB* iPhone XS 64GB* Samsung Galaxy S9+ 64GB*
Retail: $1,099 Retail: $999 Retail: $915
Gazelle: $789 Gazelle: $769 Gazelle: $469

• An unlocked device from Gazelle allows you to choose whatever carrier they want without getting tied down in another agreement
• Certified Pre-Owned devices must pass a 30-point inspection process prior to being sold on Gazelle.com
• Customers can add-on a one-year warranty that covers water, drops, and accidental damage for their Certified Pre-Owned device starting at only $55

*These costs are representative of March 2019. Pricing subject to change dependent on inventory available.

And starting tomorrow: Get $20 off All iPads, iPhones, Galaxys, & Google Plus Phones at Gazelle! 

I’m going to start shopping tomorrow morning!

Thinking about Cutting the Cord?

Abby H.

file1201268366483With the price of cable going up, and dish offerings that can be sort of… meh depending on where you live, cutting the cord may be right for you. If you are one of those people that has to watch “their shows” as soon as they are available, or you need a specific kinds of sports ball, this may not be for you. In that case, try shopping for a better deal with your cable provider or check out a dish provider.

We’ve been without cable for about 15 years, and Mr. Husband has been without cable for almost 20 years! My kids have never had cable. They don’t miss out, we’ve got an Apple TV, so they can still watch PBS Kids, and we’ve got Hulu too.

With Apple TV, we can watch YouTube (Once the big kid learned about Rube Goldberg machines, it’s all we watched on TV for a week), Hulu, Netflix (we also have a streaming only subscription). We also have an antenna (like this one), so we can watch local over the air TV.

Depending on how strong the signals in your area are, you should be able to receive:

  • ABC
  • CBS
  • NBC
  • CW
  • Fox
  • PBS (We get three PBS channels)

There are additional networks that are available in various areas of the county.  Here in So Cal, we also get:

Plus we get a few more Spanish language channels, and one Korean language channel.

The thing I like about not having cable is that the kids are not bombarded with commercials for toys, junk food, basic consumer shit that a lot of us were exposed to as kids on TV.  I like that the commercials on Hulu are 30 seconds or less and it’s usually only 1 or 2 per break.

And we spend time doing other stuff. Crafts, science, playing with toys, etc. Yesterday we played stuffed animal clinic and built a Lego zoo.

Kids Obstacle Challenge Comes to San Diego!

I love the Kids Obstacle Challenge! It’s a super fun challenging event that gets kids moving and thinking! And, it’s coming back to San Diego County at Kit Carson Park in Escondido on April 20th.

From their website, “Our mission is to inspire and challenge kids, and forge family bonds, through adventure and obstacles. We are committed to helping foster a more active, adventurous, and perseverant younger generation.”  I am happy to partner with Kids Obstacle Challenge this year! They have offered my readers a 15% discount with coupon code ADVENTURE15 at checkout.

I love that parents run for free- it’s a great way to get out and participate in an activity together without breaking the bank.

There are waves starting all morning, so there is no need to get up at the crack of dawn. Waves are done by age, so everyone has a chance to play and go at their own pace.

I hope to see a lot of you there!

 

Live in California & Buy Milk?

Abby H.

Screen Shot 2019-02-20 at 7.52.31 AM.png

Thanks to my friend Jessica for the heads up on this awesome program! The CA Milk Processor Board has started a new program called “Moo Money”. Through April 28, 2019, “Moo Money” will reward milk-loving California consumers for purchasing real, wholesome dairy milk at any participating retail outlet, as well as online.

It’s easy:

  1. Sign up here.
  2. When you buy Dairy Milk, upload your receipt here.
  3. Earn Points that can be redeemed for gift cards!

Screen Shot 2019-02-20 at 7.58.42 AM.png

Two gallons of milk scored me 328 points. Since we buy milk several times a week (seriously, my kids are at least 50% milk), I have a feeling we’ll be cashing out for a gift card in no time! I’ll be using our gift card(s) to buy Amazon Gift cards. Perfect for those things that I buy regularly (like PBFit, Malted Milk Powder, and GoGo Squeez).

To learn more about this program, check out this press release.

2/18/19 Style Steals: Extra Long Cardigans 40% off!

Abby H.

* This post contains Affiliate links, and I may earn a commission if you make a purchase from one of my links.

I love me some Cardigan Sweaters. In fact, I wore the same one for so long, Hubs got me another one in the exact style and color and replaced it without me knowing. That was YEARS AGO, and I still wear the new one (although, I may be replacing it with one of these beauties!) Today only from the good folks at Cents of Style: Extra Long Button Up Cardis! 40% Off + FREE shipping! W/CODE: CARDITIME

There are two styles: The Misha, which is the classic length cardigan, and the Sylvia, which is extra long (like a duster).  The Misha comes in a plus size version too!

I love these sweaters because they are perfect for layering, which comes in handy here in So Cal, where the weather changes like 4 times a day!

APRONS! I love aprons! I have about a dozen of them- in different fabrics, colors, and themes. When I got the email yesterday that Flirty aprons was having a $5 sale, I jumped at the chance to pick up a few more. I had $25 in my Paypal Account from completing some Pinecone Research Surveys recently. MUAHAH!
