Cart Off Your Christmas Presents From Kmart Layaway!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kmart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have to tell you about a time that we were really struggling to get Christmas presents together. We thought we would try and make gifts since we were saving our money for some big coming family expenses. But at the last minute the gifts that we made started to break and we realized we were going to have to drop some money at the last minute to buy some christmas presents for some very adorable little relatives. Unfortunately it was so last minute it was very difficult to be creative and thoughtful in our gift giving.

If only we had known about layaway at Kmart. Well - in case you hadn't noticed this year is flying by. I feel like we just kissed away 2011 and here we are in September. With only about 100 days of shopping left until Christmas morning comes you better start saving for holiday gifts. Or - you could do what we have done and start eying potential Kmart items to place on free layaway for your friends and family. In case you were considering using layaway with Walmart or Best Buy or Toys R Us, maybe you haven't noticed the difference with Kmart - free layaway !! What! Yep - its free - no service charge.

Also consider joining the Kmart's Big Layaway Giveaway - no purchase necessary - just follow the link. I don't know about you - but I plan on winning big - perhaps one of these for my son:

 

Clipix Clipping Site

 

Have you heard about the new way to organize your internet experience? I just found out about it recently and signed up for it myself. Perhaps I cheated, but what I did was connect with Facebook. Do you know how long it took me to sign up? Less than 3 minutes. And in the end I am left with a pretty cool organizational tool.

You can clip items from the web and save them into your clipix account for later viewing and for sharing with friends. Personally, my favorite thing to clip is recipes and things that I would like to buy. You, however, can use it for anything from saving funny comics, to books, to restaurants you want to try or movies that you would like to see. It works out like a global wishlist for any website on the net. Below is a screenshot from the last thing I added to my wishlist!

The best part is that they have an iPhone app. So you can be on clipix anytime, even when youre sitting in class or avoiding the word on your desk.

I highly recommend that you go to clipix and sign up for an account. It will only take a moment or two. Go ahead and leave a comment below on what you would use clipix for!

Check out Walgreens Prescription Savings Club

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Did you know that Walgreens has a Prescription Savings Club? Right now they are offering a special discount on annual membership for the program. The Walgreens Prescription Savings Club is only $35 per year for a family membership that covers everyone in your immediate family. This includes your spouse, any dependents 22 and younger and even your pets!! The individual plan is only $20 per year.

I know that just one of my prescriptions is $35 for just a 30 day supply. So if I were to join this prescription savings club, the cost would be less than 1 month meds of just one of my meds. Now between my husband and I we have four prescriptions monthly. So if we joined the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club we would likely save so much more than the cost of joining. And we would also have our dog's prescriptions covered as well as discounts for so many other things.

The Walgreens Prescription Savings Club has the following benefits:

• 8,000 brand-name and all generic prescriptions offer you savings
• Discounts on your pet prescriptions, nebulizers, diabetic supplies, and even flu shots

Walgreens always offers great deals. If you want to stay current on their deals and programs like this, make sure you follow Walgreens on Twitter and Walgreens on Facebook.

Happy Savings!

Walgreens Pharmacy Needs your Help

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

 

 

On December 31 the contract expired between Walgreens and Express Script because ES did not want to allow Walgreens to lock them into a rate which could not increase. This means that those who have insurance that deals with Express Scripts will no longer be able to use Walgreens to fill their scripts. So if you currently pick up your scripts at Walgreens, you may want to confirm that your insurance has not removed their coverage of Walgreen's services. This is enraging customers because they will not have to possibly drive further and use pharmacies with less convenient hours, and certainly without the discountsWalgreen always offers it's customers.

 

Walgreen's attempts to renegotiate this contract involved an attempt to help support military and military families by negotiating a better contract for Tricare, which serves the military. In the meantime, Walgreen's is trying to help the affected customers by offering a special discount on annual membership for its Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. If you are effected or enraged by the situation feel free to contact your local media to let them know what is going on and that you aren't happy about it. Support Walgreens in their fight against riding medical costs.

 

I keep close attention to this situation on social media. So be sure to check out Walgreens on Facebook and Walgreens on Twitter
