"Here Comes Santa" Countdown to Christmas

Welcome to Mommies with Cents “Here Comes Santa” Countdown to Christmas. We want to help you save money and find great gifts all at the same time. Each week we will be adding to this post. It will post each Sunday with new new additions in BOLD to make it easier to see what’s new. In addition, we will highlight the weekly ad deals right below this paragraph. Because this post will get quite long, you will need to expand it by clicking “Expand this post now”. This way it won’t take up our entire home page! If you have a deal you’d like us to share, please let us know. Also, what’s better than FREE gifts? Be sure to enter our giveaways– a new one is posted each and every day! Many of the items included in this countdown are our favorite items we’ve reviewed over the past year so you’ll be able to get the inside scoop with a link to our personal review of the product- we hope this will save you some money!

Frugal Gift Ideas

• Earn amazon gift cards and more with Swagbucks– it’s super easy! See this post for more information.
• Photos make excellent gifts. See the current photo deals HERE.
• Restaurant.com gift certificates or Entertainment books make wonderful family gifts. Right now you can get $5 off and free shipping with the purchase of the 2010 edition Entertainment book. Coupons include lots of local things for families to do like the zoo, children’s museums etc and will save a bundle of money!
• If you do surveys that pay in gift cards, why not use those to purchase gifts or give as gifts? If they are small in value, they’d be perfect in a little gift basket. You can get pretty creative and keep out of pocket money to a minimum. Try putting a $5 or $10 Blockbuster card with some popcorn and candy (that you got free with coupons of course) into a basket from the dollar store. (see survey sites here)
• Visit Abbi’s handmade Christmas Carnival where she will post a new idea each Thursday
