Have a cold, fever over 100, so didn't really think it would be a great day in savings land.

But, received my free samples from Wei East today, coupons from General Mills, a free movie ticket in the mail, and another freebie that I'm drawing a blank on (blame it on the cold, not age :-).

I skimmed through the latest freebies and found the free membership to American Greetings. com. The free year works for existing memberships, and since I am responsible for my entire family (you get three accounts), I just saved $30!!!

This site actually has saved me money in the past, because it allows me to set up reminders for all the holidays and special occasions, with emails to my inbox at whatever time I specify (I usually go two weeks in advance). Enough time to buy and ship without express delivery charges! It also let's me set up ecards ahead of time to be sent on the day...so if I *do* forget to send a gift or card, they will still receive an ecard on the right date. There are options for sending egifts, also. Love the create and print section for making stuff for my sister's school.

Not bad for a sick day!
