earn free kibble for shelter animals by answering trivia questions!

Before you get started snagging all kinds of free stuff for you and your pets, take a sec to help feed shelter animals and visit FreeKibble.com to answer a daily trivia question and earn free pet food for needy rescue pets.

Hopefully you had a chance last Friday to check out my roundup of Popular Sites for Printable Coupons and Money Saving Deals Around the Web. This week I thought I’d do a rundown of some of the top places to go online to find Free Stuff, Samples and Trial Offers.  In addition to saving you money, sample offers and freebies are fun because they give you the opportunity to try new products and brands you might not otherwise buy, without any expense or commitment! Because signing up for free stuff can tend to increase the amount of emails you receive, you should only signup for offers you want, and you might consider setting up one email account that you use especially for new offer signups!

 

get free samples and products from freeflys

Get Free Samples of brand name products and other Free Stuff at freeflys.com. I recently saw some pet food freebies here, including Rachael Ray’s Nutrish, but these change all the time. After you join for free you also get to complete surveys for more rewards and free stuff.

That Freebie Site for free samples and coupons

A similar source of free samples and products is That Freebie Site. They update you daily (or as soon as new samples or coupons become available) so you always know when new free stuff is offered. Unlike some freebie sites you may see advertised online that offer gimmicks or make you refer a bunch of friends, this site takes pride in only posting real freebies and samples.

Coolsavings

Cool Savings is a well-established and longstanding source of all kinds of free offers, samples and coupons. They often have offers from PetSmart and other pet supply brands and have price comparison tools and more!

Free Samples and Coupons from Deals for Mommy

In addition to offering coupons, Deals for Mommy is also a great source for free samples and other valuable offers from brands you know and trust. As a member of the free online community you can share and find access to all kinds of money saving tips and ideas, too!

Woman Freebies is a site where you can find samples, coupons, sweepstakes and freebies from your favorite big brands specially chosen by women for women. Offers change all the time but you’ll find health & beauty items, home goods and cleaning products, and other samples and freebies to help you save money and try new brands.

 A final tip for getting Free Samples: if there is a brand or product that you’d like to try, be sure to visit them on Facebook and Twitter. More and more companies are offering exclusive opportunities for product sampling through social media. If all else fails, visit the brand’s website and use the Contact Us link to send them a message letting them know you’d really like a sample. They will almost always send you a coupon or trial size!

Next week I’ll be highlighting some Survey sites where you can earn points, rewards, gift cards or even cash for taking surveys or answering questionnaires online!

How to Get Free Shipping On Just About Anything at Amazon!

February 26, 2012

Amazon Free Shipping

Amazon has some of the lowest prices around on pet supplies and all kinds of other things like books, music, jewelry, and even grocery and cleaning items. There’s also the extra saving of not being charged for Sales Tax and not spending money on gas when you shop at Amazon, but if you don’t know the secret to getting free shipping, the extra costs for delivery can eat in to your savings pretty quickly. Here’s an easy rundown on how to get FREE Shipping from Amazon:

Taking Advantage of FREE Super Saver Shipping:

The majority of items sold and fulfilled by Amazon are eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping with a minimum order of $25+. The item will be clearly designated as “eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping” next to the price. Select Free Super Saver Shipping when you check out and your order will be delivered within 5-8 business days.

It’s best to wait until you need a couple of items if you want to get Free Super Saver Shipping but sometimes you’ll find a great deal on something that you don’t want to miss out on, but that isn’t quite $25. Smart savers know about something called “filler-items” which are very inexpensive items you can add to your cart to bring it up to just the amount needed to reach Free Shipping. You can view my recent post on some cheap pet items for under $5 that are perfect as filler items!

Amazon Prime 2-Day Shipping:

Amazon Prime is a membership program that gives you and your family unlimited FREE Two-Day shipping for an annual flat rate of $79 per year. With Amazon Prime, there is NO Minimum Purchase required, so if you find a deal on an item you need, you can have it in your hands in 2 Days without paying for shipping – even if that item sells for $3. You also get unlimited FREE access to a large library streaming movies and tv shows, as well as thousands of online books to borrow and read for FREE from the Kindle Lending Library (no Kindle device required, you can read them on your computer or other devices). If you do a lot of online shopping, you know that Amazon often beats all other prices, so the $79 annual fee usually pays for itself fairly quickly. You’ll also save on gas by not running around to pick up just one thing when you know you can order it with free shipping at Amazon and have it in two days (or Next Day in a pinch if you pay just $3.99)

There are also a few ways to get FREE 2-Day Amazon Prime Shipping:

  • Amazon Prime Shipping 30 Day FREE Trial Membership: If you haven’t been an Amazon Prime member in the last 13 months, you can sign up for a no-obligation, free trial membership here. Just cancel before the trial is up if you decide you don’t want to continue with the annual $79 fee.
  • FREE Amazon Mom Shipping: Amazon Mom is a free membership program created especially for parents and caretakers of small children. Amazon Mom members receive benefits such as three months of FREE Two-Day Shipping with Amazon Prime (with the potential to earn up to one year total of free Amazon Prime shipping benefits), 20% off diapers and wipes which are auto-delivered to your doorstep with Subscribe & Save and other promotions geared toward parents. Learn more about Amazon Mom Free 2-Day Shipping Membership here.
  • FREE Amazon Student Shipping: Similar to the Amazon Mom memberships, Amazon Student is a free membership program created especially for college students. Amazon Student members receive  six months of FREE Two-Day Shipping with Amazon Prime and then are eligible to continue for just $39 per year after that! Get all the details about how to qualify for Free Amazon Student Shipping membership here.

5 Pro Tips for Taking Great Pet Photos

SLC Pawtography Pro Tips for Great Pet Photos

I recently caught up with my pal Uschi, who just happens to be a professional pet photographer and mom to super-pup Sawyer (photo above). With the holidays coming up, I asked if she would share a few tips to help all of us pet parents capture some special shots of our own fur kids. Here’s her expert advice on simple tips we can all try ourselves…

1. Pick the right light:  Ideally you would want to take the pictures outside to take advantage of the natural light. If you need to shoot inside, avoid the flash. Instead, take the photos in an area with lots of available light, for example by a large window or a glass door.
2. Be aware of the background:  Outside, find an area without buildings or other distractions. Inside, remove clutter or put up a backdrop.
3. Make sure your pets are relaxed and not paying attention to the camera:  Use treats or toys to distract them from the camera and try to catch them behaving naturally. If possible, have a second person around to keep the pet’s attention.
4. Use a fast shutter speed:  Since animals twitch and jump for unknown reasons at the most unexpected moments you should shoot at the fastest shutter speed possible. Either set your camera to shutter priority and set the highest speed or, if your camera doesn’t have shutter speed control, try the sports or action setting.
5. Most importantly, keep your camera around:  Have your camera handy whenever you can so you can catch your pet doing the things they do naturally. You can spend a lot of time staging pictures and have your pets pose, but you’ll often get better photos just by waiting for your pets to express their unique personality.

You can visit Uschi and check out her gallery at SLC Pawtography. And be sure to LIKE Sawyer the Wander Dog on Facebook!

SLC Pawtography is based in Salt Lake City, but all work is done on location, where your pets are most comfortable. For more details and pricing please contact Uschi at info@slcpawtography.com or call 801-230-3773.

I was researching deals and money-saving tips on dog grooming and found this funny list along with some very useful FAQ’s at Pampered Pet Mobile:

Why does it cost more to get my dog groomed than my own hair cut?

Hear are the top ten reasons:

10. Your hairdresser doesn’t wash and clean your rear end.

9.You don’t go for eight weeks without washing or brushing your hair.

8.Your hairdresser doesn’t have to give you a sanitary trim.

7.Your hairdresser doesn’t have to clean your ears.

6.Your hairdresser doesn’t have to remove the boogies from your eyes.

5.You sit still for your hairdresser.

4.Your haircut doesn’t include a manicure or pedicure.

3.Your hairdresser only washes and cuts the hair on your head.

2.You don’t bite or scratch your hairdresser.

1.The likelihood of you pooping on the hairdresser is pretty slim.
