20-30% Off Garden of the Gods Club Rooms (Select Dates, Book by Wednesday)

Published September 30, 2014 by Carrie in Expired

Garden of the Gods Club and Resort is having a 48-hour sale through Wednesday: book a one night stay between October 13th and November 30th and save 20% off, or book two nights and save 30% off. (There are some blackout dates.) Use promo code 48HOURS to get the deal, and you can book here.

Jeremy and I stayed at the Garden of the Gods Club a few years ago and really enjoyed it – the views are awesome and everything was very nice, even though the rooms were a little dated. (Not sure if they’ve updated since then or not.)

Albertsons Weekly Deals (10/1-10/7): Chicken Leg Quarters for $0.78/lb + Cheap Yoplait Yogurt

Published September 30, 2014 by Carrie in Expired

Albertsons has some great deals on chicken leg quarters, chicken thighs, and petite sirloin steaks this week. (They’ve gone up on the shelf price of the sirloins but I think it’s still the lowest you’ll get anywhere.) They also have Yoplait cups for as low as $0.26 per cup and some good deals on toilet paper, Pillsbury bread, and more.

You can also still download their app to get a coupon for $5 off your $50 purchase.

King Soopers Weekly Deals (10/1-10/7): Free Lara Bar, Idahoan Potatoes + Good Deals on OJ, Potatoes

Published September 30, 2014 by Carrie in Expired

Here are the King Soopers deals that start on Wednesday. There are great deals on candy, select K-Cups, Lara bars, potatoes, Barilla pasta, and more.

I was so excited this week to get an email that they have loaded “personalized prices” to my card! I don’t know if they totally stopped doing it for awhile or what, but this is the first I’ve had in several months. At least as of a few months ago, the personalized prices weren’t available to everyone, but if you login and they are available to you, it will be available on the left-hand side of the coupon center. I got deals on eggs, canned beans, Mom’s Best cereal, bananas, and a few more items – all things I will definitely be buying, so I was thrilled. (Lame, but true!)

Reader Request: Economical Photo Backup

Published September 29, 2014 by Carrie in Home & Family, Z Reader Requests

Whitney emailed with this question:

Do you have recommendations on the safest, most economical way to store digital photos? My computer is on the fritz and after our recent natural disasters I figure online storage is the best.

We use Blackblaze to backup our computers, and thus photos, online – it’s unlimited and costs $5 a month. (If happen to try it out, you can use my referral link for a free month.) I don’t remember why we chose them over anyone else – I think someone geeky recommended them! We’ve used Backblaze for over a year and have happy (though thankfully we haven’t had to restore any data from it).

What do you use to back up your hard drives or specifically, photos? Please click here to leave a comment.
