First, I would like to commend those of you have gotten up at the crack of dawn to brave not only the cold weather, but the crowds and lines of the brand name retailers and big box stores.  My hat is off to you! But for those who wisely decided to stay home, comfy and warm in their beds and are shopping via the keyboard on their computer, I would like to make my pitch to you.  

Both Avon & Tastefully Simple have great money saving steals and deals plus free shipping!*

*For Tastefully Simple I am offering rebates of the shipping fee for orders of $25 or more.    

Looking for a way to pay it forward? "Bake" someone's day with a batch of Citrus Sugar Cookie Mix.  With your purchase of this delicious cookie mix, $1 per box is donated to Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign.   While you are enjoying these tasty treats, know that you are also helping to feed a hungry child.  

I would also love to hear your story, so please feel free to share your random act of kindness story.  I will post it on my blog.  Thanks in advance for you kindness and generosity.  

PS:  Free recipes and gift tags available.

Pick up the October issues featuring amazing Avon Foundation for Women coverage in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  

Together, we can celebrate life. In 1992, Avon began mobilizing the unique power of our global network of sales Representatives to sell Breast Cancer Crusade products that raise funds and awareness for the cause. Today, Avon is the leading corporate supporter of the breast cancer cause, having donated more than $780 million to breast cancer programs around the world over the last 20 years. Help raise funds and awareness for education, screening and diagnosis, access to treatment, support services, and scientific research by purchasing a Breast Cancer Crusade product. 

So, ok,  Who does not love free shipping?  When you find the item you fell in love with, put it in the shopping cart, get ready to check out and then boom!  There it is.  The dreaded shipping fee.  Sometimes the shipping fee is more than the item you want!  

And then it happens.  Shipping fee nirvana.  The company you that has the items you love has a free shipping holiday.   Woohoo!  Not only that, more often than not, there is an amazing sale going on at the same time.  So as I see it, this is a win/win situation.  You get the items you love, great savings opportunity and no shipping fee.  So back to my original question:  Who does not love free shipping?  Anyone?  Anyone?
