We’re all a bit more frugal this holiday season than we’ve been in the past, and that means doing some research before we shop. To get the most bang for your buck, not only should you be comparing prices at different stores, but you should be staying abreast of must-use holiday coupons.

We’re seeing a lot of incredible discounts, from 20% off to $20 off orders and more. To make it easier for you to catch all these great deals, we’re posting more of our coupons on social networks:

And don’t forget: if you’re shopping online this Christmas, don’t leave things too late. Most standard shipping deadlines are around December 15; after that, you’ll likely have to pay more for your gifts to arrive by December 24. Make a note of a merchant’s shipping deadlines when you’re doing price comparisons so you don’t miss out.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season — be sure to check back for some post-Christmas deals!

Halloween Gift Baskets – Our Picks from David’s Cookies for 10% off – This Ain’t No Trick!

1 Comment »


Halloween is quickly approaching (one month, people!), and it’s time to pick what party you’ll attend. None of us here at FS like to head to parties empty handed, so we’ve compiled a few of our fav Halloween gift baskets from David’s Cookies:

  1. Halloween Basket – The pumpkin tin holds 2lbs. of M&M cookies with six brownies to boot. No sweet tooth is satisfied without this fresh-baked goodness.
  2. Halloween Brownie Pail – Skip the chocolate bars and chips; this pail holds 1lb. of chocolate-covered brownies. Brownies covered in chocolate! I’m totally serious.
  3. Pirate Basket – More cookies & brownies but with a pirate hat, eye patch, gold coins and clip-on earring.
  4. Halloween Treats Bucket – This is a smaller gift for your favorite host. Nothing over the top here, just a simple orange tin with black ribbon to make the cookie/brownie display sweet and festive.

All Halloween gift baskets are 10% off with our David’s Cookies coupon (good year-round).

David’s Cookies is really great about shipping, too. Most orders are shipped 2nd Day Air unless otherwise noted, so even if you order your Halloween gift baskets a week or two before Halloween, you should receive them in time.

Happy Halloween!

Top 10 Cute Baby Halloween Costumes for 2009

1 Comment »

At FabulousSavings.com, we have a bunch of great parents with an eye for kids’ style, especially when it comes to adorable Halloween costumes. Since we have a 10% off BuyCostumes coupon (good for when you spend $50 or more), we couldn’t help but present our top 10 cute baby Halloween costumes list!

  1. Future Golfer
    Since I’m submitting this blog, I took it upon myself to pick the #1 baby costume. Tell me this isn’t a winner. Argyle, plaid, high socks, a beret.. remember, it’s the details that make the costume. That peanut hasn’t got anything on Tiger, Tiger Woods, y’all.
  2. Garden Gnome – Girls & Boys
    Good costumes are always rich in detail. In the case of these garden gnome costumes, the shoes definitely make the difference. We couldn’t pick between the Flower Garden Gnome and the boys’ Garden Gnome, so you get both, tied at #2.
  3. Peanut
    OK, how could this peanut costume not make the list? It’s amazing how a simple foam peanut shell one-piece can be so cute. This costume is good to have as a last-minute back-up in case you come home from work before your Halloween party, only to discover baby has spit up all over his Future Golfer costume (see #1, you won’t be sorry).
  4. Baby Blossom
    This girly flower costume made us all smile, so it made a respectable #4 position. All this blossom/blooming talk has me hungry for a Blooming Onion. Anyone else?
  5. Yo Gabba Gabba DJ Lance
    The hip(ster) moms and dads of the office insisted on this one. After all, Yo Gabba Gabba! the show was nominated for an Emmy in Costume Design/Styling in 2008. This officially licensed Yo Gabba Gabba! costume can be paired with Foofa, Plex and Brobee.
  6. Blue Bunny Infant Costume
    Here’s another sweet costume for baby boys. Your costume better include sunglasses because camera flashes will be going wild. Frugal tip: Revisit this costume around Easter time to make hearts jump.
  7. Rock-A-Bye Baby
    Baby fits snugly into this, the king of all jumpsuits. Again, the headpiece is the obvious stand-out accessory, but did Elvis have a mohawk? No matter – it’ll look better on baby anyway. Mohawks always do.
  8. Lamb
    This infant/toddler lamb costume is too sweet for words, but here are some anyway: Soft. Cozy. Contest Winning, perhaps? Note: Wearing shoes is advised.
  9. Little Spock
    Star Trek was the hit of the summer, and now your little one can look like his favorite Vulcan… or that dude from Hereos. The best feature of this officially licensed Star Trek costume has to be the sideburn headpiece. Leonard Nimoy, eat your heart out.
  10. Lil Bo Peep
    Our staff loves this sweet costume for toddler girls. It’s perfect for big sis when combined with #6: the Lamb. Frugal tip: Pair the dress with a tiara for next year’s Princess costume.

So, moment of truth: would you dress your child in any of our picks? Have you found a kids’ costume you like better? We’d love to see! Leave a comment with an image or description and why you love it.

Check out BuyCostumes.com for many more adorable baby costume ideas, and don’t forget to use our 10% off BuyCostumes coupon, good for when you spend $50 or more. Happy Halloween!
