Coupon Love: Shutterfly Cards (or mousepad)

http://www.shutterfly.com/

Just bought some photo cards from Shutterfly... coupon FREEBIE only works today (9-15-13) for 12 free 4x5 flat cards or 3x5 folded cards or 1 mousepad. 

You have to pay shipping which is kind of expensive ($5+tax for the 4x5 cards) but they are nice cards and envelopes, so if you have a special occasion $5 is a pretty good deal. I used it to make birthday invitations for my son's 1st birthday.

Note: I decided I was NOT going to "go all out" for a baby's birthday that he won't remember (I planned on just calling to tell people about it, since we are only inviting a few people), but these invitations make ME happy, and after all, they were "free"!

I love Shutterfly... everything I've ever bought from them I have only paid for shipping because there are ALWAYS coupon codes out there for free items. And you can save coupons to your account (until they expire) so any time I find one in a magazine ad, etc, I just enter it right away and then make my project later. I've made photo books, calendars, address labels, and other gifts for myself or other people... all for only the cost of shipping.

Other places to make these kind of gifts are Walmart, Snapfish.com, and many drugstores (like Walgreens) but if you have one of Shutterfly's coupons, I've found that it usually gives you the best deal.

This post kind of sounds like a paid endorsement... it's not. Shutterfly is just a service I have found that I like, so I wanted to share.

Thanks for reading.
