I just received an email about a great event that is happening this weekend on March 20, 2010.  The Children’s Museum of Manhattan will be offering free entry to everyone all day this Saturday from 10am to 5pm.  It’s an all day event to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

The museum is located at 212 W. 83rd. St. by the 1 and 9 train.  For those of you who have strollers (for the little ones), please keep in mind there will be limited space so come early or let your kids roam around and leave the strollers at home .

They will have different activities for everyone such as Yoga for kids presented by Olay, Pampers will be sponsoring a Kid’s Zone, Story Circle from 12-12:30pm, Baby Loves Salsa from 1-2pm and lots more!

I don’t know about you but I just love free stuff, I mean who doesn’t? So when I opened my emails this morning to find out a great deal from one of my favorite stores, Bath and Body Works, needless to say, I was ecstatic!

Here’s the deal:

Everyone loves chocolate, right? I  know I do.  I have to eat chocolate every week.  I know it’s fattening but it relaxes me.  So when I do have the urge to eat chocolate, I always go for Hershey’s.  It’s rich, creamy and there’s nothing like it.  I was super excited when I heard that Hershey’s was GIVING away free chocolate.  It was hard to believe so I had to get on it.  So far, I’ve received 4 coupons for free chocolate.

You must be asking why is Hershey’s doing this? Well, Hershey’s is trying  to help people get through this awful recession so they came up with the “Mars Real Chocolate Relief Act”. They will be GIVING away a free chocolate bar to the first 250,000 people that register on their site every FRIDAY starting at 9AM.

In the August edition of Elle Magazine, there is a coupon card for a free t-shirt.  It’s their way of supporting text-free driving.  They want us to focus on driving so that we can get to our destination safely (we should already be doing this).

This is their motto that they want us to follow (and should be):

I promise to stop, hang up, focus, and just drive.  I vow to hit the road now and text later!

By showing your support, all you have to do is take the card to any Express store, buy a pair of jeans, and get your FREE T-shirt, or go to EXPRESS.COM/RADD for more details.

Don’t forget to spread the word and stay safe on the road!!

My friend Mercedes over at Common Sense with Money found a great deal and I want my readers to take full advantage of it too.

If you click HERE, you can request a free quart of Glidden paint, Eggshell finish in any color.

I received a package last night from Snapfish, supposedly.  Their name and their address was on the right top of the box.   At first, I thought it was another book hubby bought from Ebay and the person reused the Snapfish box but that wasn’t the case.  Anyway, I opened the package and inside was a handwritten note, a Snapfish receipt with my information on it and a copy of the photobook I had made a few weeks ago.  I asked myself,  did I order another photobook without realizing it?  I know I ordered just one because you couldn’t get another one for free.  So I read the letter and this is what it said:

Dear Lisa,

Snapfish mailed your book to me by mistake, so I’m taking it upon myself to mail it to you directly.  I really enjoyed the book you created.  I trust you will too (as I opened it thinking it was mine, as it was mailed to me)

Be well, and good luck.

She signed it and left her number. I was in disbelief.  I was like wow, this is weird. I thought about calling her to thank her but I feel funny calling a complete stranger.  My husband said to call her because that would be the best thing to do.  I still haven’t called her.  Maybe I’ll call her later.

Now I have a “gift” to give to someone.    So, should I call her to thank her or just forget about it?

I received my SnapFish Custom PhotoBook just last night after ordering it on Thursday afternoon and I just have to say I am very happy with it.  My family loves it!  I chose all the pictures that we took the day we went Apple Picking because most of the pictures came out really nice and it was a really fun family day.

The delivery was super fast too.  I can’t believe I got the book in just a few days.  Normally, it would’ve taken about 3-5 business days because that is what they told me.  I got it in two business days and you receive it in a nice, secure package too.   SnapFish gets two thumbs up for their product!

Even though the special deal is not being offered (I got it for free), it is still a great gift for $29.99.  It is totally worth every penny!  I’m thinking of getting one for my mom for Christmas (Shhhh, don’t tell her).

So, did anyone else take full advantage of this tremendous deal? If so, I would love to know!

Everyone loves free stuff, right?  I know I do.  I also love Oprah Winfrey.  I DVR her show every day and my favorite shows are about decluttering and how to stay looking young.  Yesterday’s show was awesome.  Organization expert Peter Walsh and his clutter crew was in New York to look for some messy houses.  He found some apartments in Harlem that desperately needed some organizing. I wish he would come to my house because my closets are full of things I never use.

Anyway, the great sale is from The Container Store.  I love that store!  For the next 6 days, you can save 20% EVERYTHING in the store if you print this coupon or if you can’t get to a store, you can go ONLINE and save 20% off with this code: CLUTTERCREW at checkout.

And now for the free item.  Have you heard of Snapfish?  It’s the #1 online photo service.  You can have your digital photos printed on paper, books, posters and even mugs.  They are offering Oprah viewers a FREE standard 20-page 8″X11″ Custom-Cover Photo Book!  But you need to hurry.  This great deal ends Friday night at 11:59PM PST.  Click here and get your free book!
