**Update – it seems the $20.00 credit is working for some of you but not for others.. Some of the comments on Addicted to saving’s Facebook page say the credit is working… If you decide to try for this, please know the deal may not work..

I have an AWESOME deal for you.  So awesome that I am hesitant to post this because I’m not sure if the sales will actually go through.  That said, it is worth taking a chance..  There is a “deals” website called Gilt.  Right now if you sign up using this link HERE, you will receive a $20.00 credit that you can put towards your purchase and towards shipping.  There are Melissa & Doug toy deals available on Gilt right now that are great deals!  For example, the Wooden Nesting Blocks pictured above are on sale for $16.00.  When you use your $20.00 credit, you will owe only $3.95 and that includes shipping!

Below are the steps to score this deal:

1)  Go HERE to create an account with Gilt (you must use this link to score your $20 credit).  Wait to receive your welcome email.  You will receive your credit immediately.
2) Once registered, click on the “Children” category and then click on “Melissa & Doug”
3) Once on the Melissa & Doug screen, choose a toy that is priced around $16.00. 
4)  Go to checkout and you should see your $20.00 credit automatically deducted.  You should then owe approximatlye $3.95 (or a bit more depending on the toy you select)

Good luck!!  This will be an excellently affordable Christmas present!  Let’s keep our fingers crossed these deals go thru!  🙂

When I received an email about this awesome Dave Ramsey deal, I got super excited.  I took a Dave Ramsey class at my church about four years ago and I learned so many valuable tips and tools to get rid of debt.  Right now, you can purchase $142.00 worth of Dave Ramsey materials for just $33.95 and that includes shipping!  My favorite item that you will purchase is the The Baby Step Bundle.  This bundle includes two books, a workbook and budgeting software.  If you can set aside some time from your busy life to go through these books, I know you will begin your journey towards debt-free freedom!   

Follow my steps below to score all of these items for $33.95 (note – I am giving you the direct links for each item.  When I tried to search the items I ended up putting the wrong items in my cart which didn’t yield the awesome savings.. So, use my links to avoid confusion):

2)  Add the Personal Finance Software CD-Rom to your cart (this will cost $10) – use this link HERE
3)  Add the High Performance Achievement CD to your cart (this will cost $10) – use this link HERE
4)  Add the book More Than Enough to your cart (this will cost $14.95) – use this link HERE
5)  Proceed to checkout
6)  At checkout, Add the coupon code Budget (this will score you the CD-Rom FREE)
7)  Add the coupon code BONUS49 (this will score you the CD FREE)
8)  Add the coupon code MORE (this will score you the book FREE)
9)  Your new total should be $29.00 plus your shipping should be a flat rate of $4.95 making your total $33.95!
