$30 for $15 at La Nopalera
Living Social in Jacksonville has a deal for La Nopalera. Pay $15 and get $30 worth of excellent mexican food. I actually hated mexican food until I went to La Nop. It's the only mexican place I like to go to. Damn me giving up meat for Lent, but this is a great deal for you and if I was able to eat meat, I would jump on this deal right away. I still might actually get this and just do a few Hail Mary's to make a truce with God. Anyways go here and get you some La Nop!

Google offers free phone calls to US and Canada numbers!
Google just announced that they are offering free phone calls through their gmail service to all US and Canadian numbers till the end of 2010. Pretty cool, now you can drop that damn Bellsouth landline and call over your internet connection. You can also make international calls too, but you will incur charges. To set it up just go to this link download and install the app onto your computer, open up gmail and you should be on your way to free phone calls. Pretty sweet deal by Google. If you need to see the international rates just go here. Just an example of how cheap the international calls are, my wife is Indonesian and she can call for $.03 a minute to Jakarta. Nice!

Flippin Flip Flops
Well if any of you know me, you would know that I usually only wear flip flops. Right now I wear one of those cheap $2 flip flops from walmart that are all plastic and flimsy. Today was the day when the part that goes between your toes popped out and ripped a hole through the sandal. I'm sure many of you know what the heck I am talking about. Anyways, I found a good deal on flip flops from JC Penney. You can use coupon code TEN2YOU to get $10 off any shoes with free shipping. It just so happneed that these Arizona flip flops were only selling for $11.99, so with the coupon it brings it down to $1.99 with free shipping. Sweet! Only problem is that I have to wait for these bad boys to come in. I guess for now I will have to rig something to keep my current crappy flip flops in place. Damn you Wal-Mart and your crappy flip flops!
Diaper dandy deal!
Well here's my first deal post. I am fortunate enough to have a healthy 7 month old baby, but unfortunate that she pees and poops like a race horse. So, we go through quite a few diapers in a day. I know diapers are expensive, usually around $40 a package. So here's the best diaper deal ever.
Right now Amazon is having a deal, where if you sign up with their "Subscribe and Save" they will give you 30% off the price of the diaper. Now that's a great deal, but this next part makes it even better. If you go to a book store or Wal-mart and go to the magazine aisle, pick up either or both Parents and Parenting magazines off the shelf. Flip through the pages until you find the orange Amazon card that offers you 20% off diapers. You can use this unique code to get an additional 20% off diapers on top of the 30% you get with the subscribe and save option. So that's a 50% off savings! Awesome right? Well, there's another deal on top of that. You can combine as many of those orange coupons from the Parents and Parenting magazines as long as the first letter of the code is different. An example is the code from Parents magazine starts with an "A" so you can use this to get 20% off, but the Parenting magazine coupon starts with a "S", you can also use this on top of the 20% and 30% to get a total of 70% off. If you were lucky like me and started collecting these coupons a couple months ago you can actually get the boxes of diapers for $2.50! The only bad thing is that you can only do this once per account, so you need to make multiple amazon and email accounts to get more than one box of diapers, but it's well worth it if your a parent like me that's cash strapped. Another thing you need to do is cancel the subscribe and save after your boxes have arrived so they don't charge you every month for diapers. The way to do this is go into your account and click "your account" up in the upper right hand side, than click "manage subscribe and save" and hit cancel and yes. Do this for every account you sign up for, but only after you have received your diapers.
P.S. Amazon also has an additional $1.50 off pampers if you search coupon in the search box and click "see all your coupons". You may have to refresh a couple of times before the pampers coupon appears.
