Floating Oasis Water Pad

Relax on the water this summer with this Floating Oasis Water Pad from Sam’s Club! It’s normally priced at $249.98, but through June 4th it has an Instant Savings offer of $50 off, dropping the price to $199.98!

Capable of supporting up to 1500 pounds, this ridiculously cool water pad keeps the whole family afloat. Choose from three different color combinations.

This water pad is made of heavy-duty foam to resist tearing and ensure lasting durability. It measures 15′ long by 6′ wide and comes with a 10-foot bungee line to anchor the pad to a dock or boat.

Here are some 5-star reviews from Sam’s Club’s website:

“I bought this floating pad for my sister’s family for a gift. They have called me twice and thanked me as they love it. They love the fact that they just roll it up and bring it in rather than the raft stays out in the lake and gets full of duck droppings. Highly recommend.”

“We have a lake in our backyard and I have been wanting to purchase one of these. When I looked last year I could not find it for less than $400! When I saw this at Sam’s for $250, I had to get it and I am so glad I did. My kids love it and had a blast with it! I even got on it with them and it was a lot of fun.”

This is the best Sam’s Club membership offer available right now: sign up and get a $20 e-gift card as well as a free rotisserie chicken!

Another option for relaxing on the water is this Member’s Mark 6-Person Tropical Tahiti Floating Island. It’s $20 off and priced at $129.98!

Features include a 6-person maximum capacity, 2 contoured lounge seats, 6 cup holders, 2 built-in coolers, and a built-in boarding platform.

11 Online Dollar Stores with Fantastic Deals

online dollar stores

I’m the first to admit that I’m not a huge fan of shopping…at least in a physical store. With the boatload of kids I have and the various obligations I’ve taken on, it’s no fun for me to find someone to watch my kids (or worse, bring them with me), drive to a store, spend precious time walking down the aisles, wait in line to check out, and drive back home.

But there is one place I’m always willing to go: the dollar store. I find shopping at the dollar store kind of fun – you can get a lot of items for a little bit of money, and there’s usually a pretty big selection to browse.

So…how about we combine the fun of dollar store shopping with the convenience of online shopping? You’ll skip the trip to the store, and you’ll know that the items you’re looking for will be in stock. Plus, shopping online for dollar store items is great for those who need to buy in bulk as you won’t clear out the store and you can get as much as you need.

Best Online Dollar Stores

To help you with your bargain shopping experience, here are the 11 best online dollar stores where you can get some amazing deals.

18 Best Coupon Apps to Save Money


Disclosure: the post below may contain affiliate links. When you make a purchase or take action using these links, the site makes commission. For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.

It’s mind-boggling to think about how much has changed in the past ten years. Most people didn’t even own a smartphone back then, and now they’re everywhere!

These handy devices not only help you communicate with others and figure out how to get from here to there, but they also help you save money. Gone are the days of clipping (and losing) coupons from the newspaper. Instead, you can use a variety of amazing – and free – coupon apps to put money back in your pocket.

Plus, with the use of location settings on your mobile device, you won’t have to worry about missing out on the best deals at the stores where you’re already shopping. And with notifications enabled, these apps can give you a “heads up” on when to use your favorite offers before they expire.

Top Coupon Apps

If you’re looking to save on groceries, online purchases, or just get a little cash back, one or more of these apps is sure to meet your needs.

1.
Ibotta

Ibotta rises to the top of this list because it can be used for just about every purchase you make, whether you’re picking up bread at the grocery store or shopping for clothes on Amazon. You won’t see the savings at the time of purchase; rather, you’ll see the savings accumulate in a cashback account.

If you’re shopping in store, simply browse
the list of offers available, shop, and upload a photo of your receipt. You can
also link your store loyalty cards to the account to skip the receipt scanning
step.

Think beyond groceries – Ibotta also
offers cash back at restaurants, convenience stores, movies, pharmacies, and
more. And before shopping online, check Ibotta to see if they offer cash back
at the store of your choice, then click through the app to get automatic cash back.
Their newest feature, Pay with Ibotta, gets you instant cash back on your
purchase at a variety of retailers.

Once your cash back earned hits $20, you
can cash out and enjoy money in your pocket!

Available
on:
iOS and Android

Works
for:
in-store and online purchases

How
to Use: shop through the app, link your store loyalty card, scan
your receipt, or pay with the app

2. Rakuten

You’ve probably heard of Rakuten for online shopping, but their app makes it even easier to save while you’re on the go. Browse the selection of stores to shop via the app, use the coupon codes available in the app, and get cash back in your account.

To use the app for in-store shopping, simply link a Visa, MasterCard, or American Express card to your account to get cash back on purchases made in-store. I like that with this option you don’t even have to keep track of which stores are offering cash back via Rakuten; all you have to do is shop normally with your linked card and you’ll see the savings pile up in your account.

Cash
out whenever your account hits $5.01 or greater.

Available
on:
iOS and Android

Works
for:
in-store and online purchases

How
to Use: shop through the app or link your payment card to
shop in-store

3.
Shopkick

Shopkick rewards you for shopping both in-store and online and also gives you points (a.k.a. kicks) just for walking into popular stores or browsing around and scanning product barcodes. You don’t even need to make a purchase, but if you do, you can scan your receipt to earn kicks that way.

Of course, you can also shop through the
app to get kicks on your online purchases and link your Visa or MasterCard
payment card to get kicks on your in-store purchases. The bonuses from just
walking around and browsing make this a fun one if you have a little extra time
to kill in a store.

Use your kicks to cash out to select gift
cards (Amazon, Target, and more) when your kicks reach 500 or more, depending
on the gift card option you choose.

Available on:
iOS and Android

Works for:
in-store and online purchases

How to Use: shop through the app, walk in and scan product barcodes, scan your receipt, or link your payment card to shop in-store

Adventures in Bulk Foods: Hummus


Disclosure: the post below may contain affiliate links. When you make a purchase or take action using these links, the site makes commission. For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.

Today’s Adventures in Bulk Foods selection is another one of those mixes you might not realize your bulk food section contains: hummus mix.

Yes, hummus mix.

Now I had pretty much no idea you could buy hummus as a dry mix. I’m used to buying it already prepared. Or, I suppose you could make your own using chickpeas, but I’d never done this either.

At WinCo Foods, I found this mix priced at $4.65 a pound. This seems kind of spendy to me, considering how hummus does go on sale from time to time. However, keep in mind that hummus mix online is much more expensive.

It’s a bit tricky to compare apples to apples as this is a dry mix versus prepared. There are a few reasons I thought buying it in this dry mix might make sense:

  • if not everyone in your house is a hummus eater and it’s difficult to finish off a container of prepared hummus
  • you just need a little for a recipe
  • you only eat it occasionally, in small amounts and would like an easy way to keep it on hand

I was curious to try it.

All you do is mix equal parts hummus and water (in this case, 1 1/2 cups each) together. Finish with a couple tablespoons of olive oil. It took all of oh, 30 seconds.

So how did it taste? It was decent! It even had a little spice to it, which was nice. But I wouldn’t write home about it. I do think it would be good to have on hand for the above scenarios.

Have you ever tried making hummus from a dry mix before? I would also love to hear what you think about the cost. How much does it cost to prepare it from scratch? Does this seem like a savings to you, or not?
