Saving Money with Groupon Coupons

Savings made easy!

If you are an online shopper like myself, you must check out Groupon! They are a website that offers coupons on all your favorite retailers. If you go on the Groupon site right now you will find thousands and thousands of deals and coupons. There is an endless supply of money saving offers.

Some of the best deals I have ever found have been from Groupon. Groupon used to just be known as a site where you could purchase deals from but, now they offer actual coupons to over 9,000 retailers.

One of my favorite retailers on the Groupon site right now is CityPASS.  Right Now Groupon is offering over 15 different coupons at up to 54% off on CityPASS. That is savings on top of the great deal you are getting by purchasing the CityPASS as opposed to purchasing the individual attractions. This, is savings made easy! 

My Son and I recently got a CityPASS for Chicago and were able to experience many local attractions from Willis Tower to the Adler Planetarium.  Thanks to Groupon and CityPASS for the cost of about two attractions we got to do 12!  It was a really fun filled day I never could of afforded if purchased on my own.

Soon after the entire family was taking a trip to Philadelphia so of course I headed over to Groupon to see if a CityPASS was available and it was!  With 40% off and 5 must see attractions I bought one for everyone in my family.  I can't tell you how many times I have recommended both CityPass & Groupon since then.

So check it out!  To make saving even easier make sure to get the Groupon app as well.

Fall at Konow's Corn Maze ~ Discount

One of my favorite activities that comes with fall its visiting pumpkin farms and corn mazes.  It is the start of a fun season filled with hot apple cider and apple donuts.  The hardest part is deciding where to go.  With so many choices I like to choose something new every year and this years visit to Konow's Corn Maze did not disappoint.

The first thing my boys saw was the giant jumping pillow.  They raced over and jumped for quite awhile.  This is big enough that even the grownups can join in. It was an exciting first stop.

After jumping for a bit they noticed the train rides that were going on and we raced over where they got a seat at the back of the cow train.  They were super excited and had a ton of fun on the first of 3 tractor pulled rides.

Next stop was the GIANT hay mountain.  This was awesome!  I think the boys spent a good hour here climbing and exploring.  There were tunnels and caves,  They enjoyed playing with the other kids and attempting to get to the very top.  It was super fun and everyone there seemed to enjoy it a lot.  Even with the rain the day before it was under a tent so it was nice and dry.

After plenty of hay time (we went back for more later) we headed off to the corn pits which I think are so therapeutic.  It is just relaxing to dig and roll around in the corn.  Yes you are free to join the kids.  They have a small one for smaller kids and a giant pit for everyone else.  I insist you MUST get in.  

Konow's Corn Maze is a working farm so there are plenty of animals.  We saw hogs, cows, goats, sheep, and chickens to name a few.  My boys loved playing on all the tractors they had on exhibit as well.  They took turns climbing up and playing with all the knobs.  

By now we needed a break to refuel.  We checked out the restaurant and I was surprised everything was priced between 1-4 bucks which is super reasonable.  Four meals with drinks came out to about $25.  They have everything from corn on the cob to pizza.  Be sure to get some delicious apple cider!

After lunch we went on the grain train, hayrides and I think we visited all the activities one more time.  Chris really wanted to head in the corn maze but it had rained the entire day before our visit and as expected it was super muddy.  Regardless we still had a fabulous time and would definitely come back again.  

Tickets are only $10 per person on the weekends, $9 during the week and it is a short 45 minute drive from the O'hare area.  

Konow's is 10 acres of Family Fun! Rides, Games, Food, Shopping, Pumpkin Farm and our world famous Corn Maze!

Collage.com ~ Review and Giveaway!

Disclaimer:  I was not compensated for my review.  I was sent product in order to provide my honest opinion and all thoughts are my own.

Collage.com has recently added some great new products to its line and I got the opportunity to try them out with some of the wonderful pictures my family has taken this past year.  I love when I get the opportunity to actually use my pictures in unique ways and Collage.com has many different unique items.

The first item I ordered was the wrapping paper.  It is a six foot roll and can be customized with as many as 200 photos.  This was super easy to make especially if you have albums on your computer or facebook.  I decided to upload an entire album of summer pictures and I have to say I am in love with this paper.  It is almost too awesome to use.  My husband even wanted to frame a section of it but I know Grandma will be in awe when she gets a gift wrapped in this paper of memories.

The second item I selected was an 11x14 aluminum print.  I was very intrigued by this because I have several canvas prints on my wall but this was different.  I decided not to do a collage with this one and instead I took a single print of my boys and it is simply stunning.  It comes ready to hang you just need to put a nail in the wall and it sits very nicely.  This is a picture my sister took and it is adorable.  The quality is exceptional.  I chose to use the option to enhance the photo and it makes the colors brighter.

The last item I got to order was an ornament.  I wasn't sure what to do and finally chose to make us an ornament with a few of my favorite photos from our trip to Disney World.  I chose an oval design and did I free form layout where I positioned all the photos myself.  I think I chose a few too many photos but it is still cute and something I know we will enjoy looking at every year when we pull out the tree.  

I hope I got you excited about all the new products Collage.com has to offer.  The deadline to order for Christmas is December 10th so get those orders in!  If you check out their facebook page you can find out about all their promotional deals and great prices.

I am excited to be able to offer a giveaway as well.  Whoever wins is going to be a very lucky person because these are gifts you or a loved one will cherish forever.  Make sure to enter in the rafflecopter below!

Collage.com One-Click Photo Book ~ Review

If you are like me then I am assuming you have a ton of pictures-not printed but sitting in your phone, camera, or computer.  You always say you will do something with them but they are probably accumulating, by the hundreds.  If you have kids you know I am not even joking.

With my first child I think I printed 200 photos or more and put them in albums that first year and I love them.  By the second child I wanted to do this but it is definitely not a priority, just a wish.  I am very, very good though about uploading them to Facebook and putting them into albums on a regular basis.  This came in super handy when given the opportunity to make a couple of photo books at collage.com.

I loved how easy it was to just upload directly from Facebook.  I was able to select an album and then upload all the pics from that album.  I chose the easy route and had it place them all and then sorted from there.  Within 20 minutes I had my perfect photo book of our most recent vacation.

I love how they take all of the photos and make a collage on the cover.  I added a background to all the pages, a title, and voila!  My kids LOVE looking at it and it is perfect to take and show family.

I love how easily it fits on our bookshelf and they make even better gifts.  Grandma lives out of state and doesn't have a Facebook so sending her picture books of the kids is the perfect gift.

Right now you can make a large hardcover 20 page photo book for only $25 which is a steal.  Think about it.  By the time you pay to print photos, purchase a photo album and actually put those pictures in the album you have spent as much or more.  This is simple and you have a book that lasts forever.  I love the quality and had my book in my hands in about a week!

Create a professional photo book with a single click using Collage.com's One-Click Photo Book. Select photos of any size from Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, or your computer and they will instantly suggest a clean, professional layout that you can further customize.
