Going for Not Broke

Through the Walmart website, you can request a free sample of Sani-Hands hand sanitizer wipes. I've found in the few months I've been a mom that you can never have enough wipes on hand. To go directly to the site to request your sample, click here .

Yay! For me,  Woot-Offs  and other similar deals, such as Amazon's Gold Box and Lightning Deals and  Targets Daily Deals , are a great way to find needed items or gifts for the holidays and birthdays. It's not often I actually see something I decide to purchase at Woot , but I love the discounts nonetheless.

Most days, Woot sells one item all day long at a discounted price (with $5 for shipping) until it sells out of the item or the clock strikes midnight (Central time zone). In the two or so years I've known about Woot , I've purchased only one item from it, but I check the site nearly every day to see what the featured item is. The site is always entertaining, even if I'm not in the market for the featured product. Quite often I'm tempted to buy, and if I weren't determined to pay off everything, I'm sure I'd probably purchase 10 or 15 things from them yearly. Occasionally, the site has a Woot Off, in which it sells one item until it runs out then immediately begins selling another item. Woot Offs I've seen generally last about two days.
