Redbox Code 08.11.08

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Today’s free code for a Redbox movie is H3BL13. This code is good for one free movie and you can use it until midnight tonight. Enjoy a free family movie together!

Side Notes:

– If you want to rent more than one movie for free, bring more than one credit/debit card. You can use the same promotional code, you just will need different cards to charge it to. The charge will be zero as long as you return your movie on time for the next day.

– When entering in your free movie code, you need to enter it FIRST before picking the movie. On the very first screen, click the, “Rent with Promo.” Enter in the above code and then make your selection- the amount should then total zero.

Freebie Friday: August 8, 2008

Friday, August 8th, 2008

I have been thinking about some things and different ways I can interact with each of you more and wanted to run some ideas by all of you.

I was thinking of opening the Notebook Experiments up to everyone so that everyone could link to things that they tried in our notebook entries. Would this be something you guys might be interested in doing or do you just like me doing these solo? I would love to see what you all are creating and what projects have inspired you, so please let me know if you are interested.

I am also looking for some guest posts and would like to have a guest poster each Saturday. If you are interested in submitting a post on frugal living, creative/crafty parenting, or organizing, you can email your entries to me at amy@momadvice.com. Please include a bio with a link to your site and (if you would like) a picture of yourself to include.

I would like to especially thank Heather, from Freebies 4 Mom, for her great list of freebies! Heather also has a great reminder on remembering that coupons are also advertisements. What a great reminder for all consumers! Thank you, Heather, for all you do!
