Best Online Shoe Club IMO


vs.  


I'm one of those people who loves LOVES shoes.   I have been using Shoedazzle for a few months now and have purchased 4 pairs of shoes and only 1 which I love. At first i thought it was a steal, i thought that nice shoe could only be purchased for $80 or more so with $40 at Shoedazzle I would get a pair shipped to my house, I thought it was a pretty great deal.  Now after a few months of intense shoe shopping,  I can honestly say that Shoedazzle's shoes are not the best deal... actually they're not a good deal at all.

Let's start with their quality.  To this day, Shoedazzle has NOT put out ONE pair of shoes which contains high quality materials.  All of the materials are man-made and every shoe I have received has had some sort of small quality defect.  Yes, small but still there and for $40, they should be pretty damn near perfect.  Now don't get me wrong, not all man-made materials suck.  I have plenty of shoes that are faux patent, satin, or faux suede.  However, there are some really great faux materials where you can barely tell that they're not real and there are others who seem like they don't even try to make look real!

The fact that they give free shipping and returns may seem like a great perk but in reality they should be giving you more than that!  They sell you shoes that cost them no more than $7 to make in some 3rd world country, sell them to your for $40, and then tell you you're getting free shipping just to make you feel like you're getting a good deal.  $40 relative to many other shoe brands may seem like a steal but also realize that Shoedazzle rarely ever has sales or deals.  This is because they're already selling at their "rock-bottom" price, they don't want to go any lower!  A while back they had a BOGO event and I bought 2 pairs of shoes that looked super cute.  When they arrived, I realized just how crappy the quality was and realized, yes this makes sense why they had BOGO, who's actually buying this stuff at full price! ah! (please don't tell me you are!!)  The stitches were crooked and the faux leather plastic dug into my feet horribly.  I tried everything with these shoes, I wore them in by walking around the house, using them for short trips to the grocery store, but nothing worked!  No matter how hard you try, if the shoe is crappy, it will never be comfortable (assuming you bought the right size and heel height for you!)

Enough with my rant about Shoedazzle, let's focus on some nice shoes now!

It just so turns out that i found this great site Sole Society, have you heard of it?
They are also an Online Shoe Club BUT the biggest difference is what? QUALITY, they have shoes that are made with REAL LEATHER not this Chinese equivalent similar crap.  I don't care how textured you make plastic, plastic is NOT leather!  And let's face it, if you want your shoes to last more than 3 months, you need them to be stitched up well made from durable materials --> leather shoes.

Sole Society has some great shoes for every style and like I said they're made with REAL materials!!  Are they still made in China?  probably.... but we have to understand that the quality standards in China are not the same throughout... they're good some places, ok in others, and just plain terrible in the remaining areas. 
Their monthly price runs a little more expensive at $50 instead of $40 (Shoedazzle) but I can't stress enough that the quality is FAR superior!!

yada yada yada.... ok so what's the deal??  Everytime I post a new rant/rave about something I hate/love there's always a deal involved or an alternative.

Have you heard of Plum District?  They're having a GREAT Black Friday sale!  Use code SUNDAY40 to get 40% off any voucher.  They just so happen to have a $50 to Sole Society for only $25 which makes it $15 after your 40% off code!! So here's your great chance to get awesome leather shoes for $15 SHIPPED TO YOUR HOUSE!! It really doesn't get any better than this!

So what are you waiting for? Try it out.. better yet gift it for Xmas! I know I would be ecstatic to get this as a gift!

Coupon Savings = Fuller Yarn Stash :-)


I haven't done one of these in a WHILE!  It wasn't too bad of a week this time around especially considering that I got a bunch of stuff I needed for Thanksgiving and not necessarily just what was on sale.

I paid $80 and Saved $100 :-)  It's always nice to save at least 50%!!

The bf even got lunch (which you can see him holding in the bottom right corner of the pic).  There was a $2 off a Turkey/Cranberry Publix sub combo so he lucked out because apparently that's his favorite sub during the holidays AND we had a coupon... love when that happens :-)

Some of the highlights were FREE Rachael Ray dog treats, FREE publix eggs, super cheap shredded cheese, free Dr. Pepper, 30 cents for each bag of Alexia frozen breads and super cheap evaporated milk for all of the baked goods that are coming!

I'll do a break-down if needed just let me know!

My friend told me about this yarn store in Orlando that I never heard of before!  It's called the Black Sheep, have you heard of it??   It's one of the 2 LYS here in Orlando so I'm very excited to go scope it out tomorrow especially since we saved $100 that were going to go to groceries :-)  Maybe I will splurge on some of this amazing Noro that everyone is talking about?

Or maybe I will get some organic cotton to make myself a pink version of the celtic beanie I designed for the bf!!  Only time will tell :-)

AWESOME! Joann has ONE DAY of free shipping on EVERYTHING!!  Only today Nov 17th though...

New Publix Pet Club Coupons!

Here are the new pet coupons for Publix!! They are good from Nov.10th to Dec. 7th 2011
Enjoy :-)



Great deal on Tupperware

Over the years, we have slowly gathered up a bunch of tupperware, crappy tupperware that is.  There's a bunch that are stained, slightly broken, and others that just spill all the time.  We also learned not too long ago just how harmful BPA in plastic is for us and how microwaving plastics also hurts us.  This is why we're slowly trying to transition to buying glass and BPA free tupperware to use for food.  The glass is great to take lunch to work bc I can microwave it in the glass tupperware and not worry about putting harmful chemicals in my body.



Thank goodness there's a deal for tupperware today!!  Plum District has a $50 voucher to LockNLock for only $23.  It gets better though!!  Sign up through HERE and I can gift you $5 credit to Plum District!  AND on top of that, use the code: "fabulous" to get an extra 10% off your order!! (exp 2/14/12)

With both promotions, you get a $50 voucher for only $16.20!!

Already have a Plum District account?  HERE is the direct link to the deal.

They even have containers for pets, kids, glass with seals, normal glass, BPA free plastics, water bottles and a lot of other stuff.  Their prices are also pretty good, much cheaper than what you would find it for in the store for sure.  They also have stuff for baby food for all the moms out there!

**Contains affiliate links that will support this website, thx for your help!!**

Stock up on yarn @ Michael's TOMORROW! 11/6



I love that Joann's and Michaels always have coupons out, it definitely makes crocheting a much more affordable hobby.  However it does suck that most of the times I need to get like 2-3 different skeins of yarn and Michael's only lets me use 1 coupon per visit  BOOOO!

I've noticed that Joann's is a bit better about letting you use coupons.  They let you use (1) 40% or 50% off regular items coupon AND a % off your total purchase coupon too. Unfortunately, Joann's is like 7 miles away from me and Michael's is less than 1 mile away so I end up going to Michael's since going to Joann's usually means using my savings on yarn to pay for the extra gas to get there. 

What's AWESOME about both stores is that they both accept competitors coupons!  Around here, there's no other competition besides Joann's and Michael's.  Every once in a while, they put out 20% or 25% off your total purchase coupons that are good on BOTH sale and regular priced items.  What sucks is that they usually end the really good sales BEFORE the start date of the coupon, so it ends up cancelling out but they kinda make you FEEL like you're getting a good deal, don't they?

At the end of the day, they're a business and they sell yarn and other craft goods TO MAKE MONEY, NOT to help us get our yarn fix (I know... sad)

Once in a blue moon, the awesome SALE and the awesome COUPON overlaps from both stores :-)

Starting tomorrow, Michael's is having this great deal on many of their yarns AND Joann's has put out a "Family and Friends" coupon for 25% off all sale and regular priced items good from Nov 4-6.  So SUNDAY is the one day where they both overlap!!



Vanna White's yarn is going on sale for $1.99 meaning after the coupon, each skein will only be $1.50!!  Crazy!! That's cheaper than red heart super saver and her yarn is sooo much better and has a much better selection of colors too!  It stitched up nicely too, I used it on the Tunisian Crochet Pillow and on the Piranha Plant block too.

*UPDATE* $9.99 for 15lbs of Holistic Rotations Dog Food SHIPPED!


Mine came in the mail today!! I ordered it on Tuesday and it only took 5 days to get here, not bad not bad at all.  My dogs tried it and scarfed it down right away too.  Looks like I may be buying more of this stuff after all...








Once you've selected a good quality
dog food, that's all you need, right?  


Once you have selected a quality dog food, that’s all you need to feed, right? Despite what many dog food companies tell you, we are starting to find out that may not be the case.

It seems intuitive that dogs weren’t intended to get all of their nutrients from a single food. Just like all mammals, dogs are meant to thrive on a range of different foods obtaining the unique nutritional benefits from each.

Rotating your pet’s diet provides a lot of benefits including a broader spectrum of nutrients and prevention of mealtime boredom. It can also help avoid the development of allergies.



ROTATIONS Pet Food is the first pet food that follows this philosophy. Their recipes change all the ingredients, not just the protein, and you can switch from one to the next without having to transition thanks to their patented recipes.


As always, there is currently an awesome deal going on to get this great dog food SHIPPED to your house!  Visit the Rotations Pet Food website and use code: MDFREE15 to get 15lbs of their food for FREE! All you have to do is pay standard shipping of $9.99.  That's under $10 for 15 POUNDS of food.... I feed my dogs Wellness and Organix and I usually buy the 5lb bags for around $5 at stock-up price, this price is EVEN BETTER AND it's shipped to your home!  Sweeet!!


As a reference, 15lb Wellness bags of food run for around $25-$30 and Organix for about $30-$35  


If you don't have dogs, please consider getting the free sample and donating it to your local shelter!!
