Life on a Budget
**I received the below described product at no cost in order to complete a review. No other compensation has been received**
I go through a lot of notecards and greeting cards. I love to send out cards with my winner’s prizes when I have a prize I need to send myself. I like to use them to leave notes for my coworkers, or just as a thank your for someone who did something nice for me. Because I go through so many I feel better using a more ecofriendly product.
AmyAdele.com has a really cute selection of flat cards including invitations, blank customized cards, and thank you notes. You choose your design, you choose your customization. All Amy Adele paper products are made from 100% post consumer recycled fiber, even the envelopes and address labels!
I spent much time on the site trying to decide what card and design I wanted. I new I wanted something I could put my web address on to hand out with prizes. So many cute choices. In the end I decided on the Kates Pink Butterfly Flat Card.
They arrived neatly in a cute little draw string pouch
I couldn’t wait to use them. I knew just how I would use the first card. See, we have a neighbor a block from our house. We haven’t met them yet. We knew the people that lived there before them but haven’t met them yet. Anywho, the deliver companies like to get our addresses mixed up because there’s only one number difference and our houses are the same color. I’ve received their packages a few times and they’ve received ours. Around Christmas a huge package was delivered to our door for the neighbors I’m talking about. I was pregnant and it was icy outside. There was no way I was going to carry that huge package down my steps and over to their house in my state. So I had to call UPS and tell them to deliver it to the right address.
I tried to stop by their house a couple times but couldn’t seem to catch them. I decided to use this card to send them a note introducing myself and about how the delivery companies like to mix up our addresses just to give them a heads up.
Of course, getting your packages is pretty important for anyone. I’d be very distraught if I ordered a birthday present for one of my kids and the company insisted the delivered it but had delivered it to the wrong address. I’m very lucky to have good neighbors and I’ve had a number of them have my package delivered to them and they brought it over. I’m very grateful for that.
I thought that card was very cute and very well made. It’s a sturdy card. I received my cards just a little over a week after putting in my order which I think is pretty good for a custom product.

I’m an early shopper. In fact, I’ve already started buying things for Christmas gifts for my kids and putting it away as I saw a good deal. I always look for the best price, I’ll compare a couple websites before I buy and then I make sure I buy through a cash back site like Ebates to get an even better deal when it’s available.
One thing about Christmas shopping though, lost of places put items on sale a different times. Of course there’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday but there’s other sales too around the holidays Let’s say, there’s a certain video game your kid wants for Christmas. How will you know when to get the best deal?
Nifti.com can help you with that. Nifti is a free service that let’s you track the prices on things you want and need. You tell them how much you’d like to pay and they alert you when the item goes on sale for the price you want. Pretty cool huh? No searching, no signing up for emails from different retailers. Simply add it to your Nifti “finds” by either copy the URL of the item from the retailer and hitting the +add product button on the nifti site OR add the Nifti button to your tool bar and hit that when you see an item you want to track.
You can even create categories. For me, I’d probably create a category for each kid and my hubby for Christmas and track different items they want to get the best price.
Nift is complete free to use and only takes 30 seconds to sign up. Also, to give you a heads up, I have a pretty cool giveaway that’s going to go live on Tuesday thanks to Nifit. The mandatory entry is going to be to sign up for a free Nifit account through my personal link: http://www.nifti.com/0730/
If you want to go ahead a sign up now you’ll be ahead of the game for the giveaway on Tuesday!
