Elf on the Shelf (Light Skinned Girl Elf) $17 Shipped!

I have never seen Elf on the Shelf at this low of a price before!  Right now, Barnes and Noble is offering the light skinned girl elf for just $13.69.  Shipping will be about $3.99 (or free with an order over $25).  Prior to this, the lowest I've ever seen it was $24.95.

So if you haven't already purchased an Elf on the Shelf, this is a great opportunity!  I don't know how long this price break will last. 

Thanks, My Frugal Adventures!

Recipe: Peanut Butter Squares

Here's a fan favorite to add to your holiday baking list:

Peanut Butter Squares
1 cup butter or margarine
1 box confectioners sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
12oz chocolate chips

In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter (approximately 1 minute) in the microwave.  When completely melted, add the confectioners sugar, peanut butter and graham crackers.  Mix completely.  Spread the peanut butter mixture in a 9x13 pan.

Now melt the chocolate chips in the microwave.  Start by putting them in for 1 minute.  Take out and stir.  Then put them in for 30 second increments from there, stirring in between each one, until completely melted.  (I find it typically takes just one 30 second zap after the initial 1 minute to completely melt the chocolate.) 

Spread the chocolate on top of the peanut butter mixture.  Place in the fridge to harden.  Once hard, cut in to squares and serve.

You can also roll the peanut butter mixture in to balls and dip them in to the chocolate.  It makes for much nicer presentation, but it is definitely more time consuming. 

Approximate cost of the squares:  $4.47

• Margarine cost $1 for 2 cups, so only $0.50 in this recipe
• Confectioners sugar cost $1 per box
• Peanut butter cost $2.15 per 16 oz, there's approx. 2 cups in a 16 oz jar, so 1/2 cup is approx. $0.54
• Graham Crackers I bought as whole crackers and made them crumbs myself - the box was $1.88 and I used 1 of the 3 sleeves, so $0.63
• Chocolate chips cost $1.80 per 12oz bag

*Costs may vary slightly be region or the sale you hit!  These are the actual prices I paid for the ingredients (and why I always stock up when I find these rock-bottom prices!)

 

Cardstore: $0.39 Holiday Cards - Today Only!

After all of their great deals so far this season, it is no surprise to me that Cardstore came through again today with a great deal for Cyber Monday!

Today only, you can get your holiday cards for only $0.39 each!  Plus, if you have them send your cards for you, they pay your postage!

So let's think about this... stamps are $0.45, so even if you got your holiday cards for free, but still had to send them yourself, you'd pay $0.45 per card.  Cardstore however, is offering an awesome card, mailed for you for only $0.39!  It's almost like you're making $0.06 on every card!

If you haven't made your holiday cards yet, this is definitely the deal to jump on!  I'm sure you have some great photos to use from the long holiday weekend!

Just click the picture above to get started making your cards!

Cyber Monday!

 

Today is Cyber Monday!  In my book, this is even better than Black Friday - because you don't have to leave the comfort of your home to get the "door busters"!

Many websites will also give free shipping on Cyber Monday, so your good deals get even better with free shipping!

My favorite Cyber Monday deals the past few years have been on photo gifts (like canvases or photo books) and clothes.  I usually look to find my Christmas outfit on Cyber Monday. 

I love shopping, especially for clothes, online because it's all organized for you.  You don't have to comb through any messy sale sections, you don't have to hunt for your size.  Online you can sort by size and everything that's available in your size magically appears for you.  So easy!  And I'm a big returner - so if it doesn't fit, I have no problem just returning it.  Shopping from the comfort of my home... love it!

I will be working all day, so I won't be able to fire out the deals for you, but here are my recommendations on which sites to follow tomorrow for the latest and greatest sales:
