Zulily: Costco New Membership or Upgrade Deal - $55 (Retail $105)!!

I've heard such great things about Costco, and we'd already been looking into getting a membership.  I was wondering if it was worth the cost, and the more I find out*, it just looks better and better!  Especially with this great deal on new memberships or an upgrade:

Become a new member or upgrade your existing Gold Star or Business Membership with this limited deal. You'll also receive more than $50 worth of coupon savings including:

• free rotisserie chicken
• free 48-pack of batteries
• free 35 count case of Kirkland Signature™ water
• and more

Check out the details and sign up here!


*Our family has been eating more whole "real" food lately, which has made saving money on groceries with coupons more difficult, but I just read a couple great articles about how to save on healthy, organic, whole food at Costco - making this deal even more appealing than it already is!

• "What does a Real Foodie Buy at...Costco?" at Kitchen Stewardship (I am loving this series that Katie is doing!)
• "Is it possible to eat a Weston A. Price and shop at Costco?" at Dyno-Mom (I'm new to her blog, but I love her perspective of doing the best you can for your family, and that's good enough - even if it's not "perfect")

Pick Your Plum: Interchangeable Personalized Rubber Stamps -- 68% off!

 

Here's a great deal on Interchangeable Personalized Rubber Stamps that are one of my favorite Pick Your Plum deals!  I just love rubber stamps - especially when they're personalized and cheap!  This could be a really great gift idea for Christmas too -- teachers, moms, neighbors, friends....!

Be quick though, because Pick Your Plum's fun deals are only good for the day - and they usually go really fast!

Ever need a stamp that gets four jobs done instead of one?  And is self-inking?  And switches designs easily?  Don't think that's possible?  Well we found one (BAM!).  It's a Pick Your Plum MIRACLE!  These stamps are basically the angels of the stationary world.  Let's take a closer look, shall we?  Each stamp has the option of 4 different styles.

** Each self inking stamper comes with one design for $12.95.  Additional designs (just the rubber) are $4.95.**

Here's how it works: each different stamp clings to the stamper and peels off easier than a banana peel.  There's no sticky residue left behind and it's the easiest thing on earth to switch.  Know what that means?  That means that one day you can use it as an address stamp, the next day you switch the design for a Christmas stamp (seriously, imagine doing Christmas cards with these things) and the next you can use a monogram to identify your stationery.  HALLELUJAH.  And speaking of hallelujah, wouldn't these make fan-flipping-tastic Christmas gifts?  We think so.  But they're also good retail therapy.

Ours is the "older" version and it still does a great job!
