Here’s my late “Saturday Savings” post on Monday!  I’m finally catching up…for a few hours anyway!  🙂

Homeschool Freebies

1)  Prime Reading

Amazon Prime members can now get Prime Reading!  This lets you read as much as you want from over athousand books, comics, magazines and more!  (Not a member?  Sign up for a FREE 30-day trial here.)

I’m really excited about the FREE digital magazine issues and various eBooks.  I’ve already downloaded HGTV and the eBook The Millionaire Next Door.  You can also get Sports Illustrated, Runner’s World, Martha Stewart Living, People and more.  These are all FREE with your Prime membership!

Each month Amazon will have a new selection of top magazine and eBooks to borrow.  If you don’t have a Kindle, you can still access these benefits with FREE Kindle Reading Apps.

2)  FREE Mom Conference (Oct 11-13)

Just a reminder that the The Mom Conference is starting tomorrow and runs from October 11-13.  This online conference features 20 top-notch speakers presenting about topics specific to moms.  Each day of the conference, they will offer up to seven presentations to watch free.

This conference will help you:

• Manage your children’s emotions (and your own!)
• Figure out how to avoid the “me, me, me epidemic” that is producing over-entitled children
• Get your house clean – and keep it that way (for real)
• Strengthen your marriage
• Talk to your children about sex (yes, this is something you really have to do!)
• Help your children embrace healthy foods while teaching them to cook
• Manage your children’s screen time and smart phone use (without making them hate you)
• Develop a budget that really works for your family (yes, it’s possible!)
• Live a more intentional and joyful life (and teach your children to do the same)
• And much more!

I’m interested in several of the talks including one on organizing from FlyLady and cooking with kids from Katie Kimball.  You can see all of the speakers and topics here.

3)  AchieveMint Website – Earn Rewards for Healthy Habits

This is a pretty cool new website that offers rewards for healthy habits, and I signed up last week to try it out!  You can earn points for logging meals, going on a run, using your Fitbit, and more on the AchieveMint website.  Then, you can then redeem the points for cash.  You’ll get $10 for every 10,000 points!

I’ve already earned 489 points for stuff I do anyway (tracking steps with my Fitbit and workouts)!  Obviously it will take a while to get to 10,000 points…but if you already are tracking anyway, you might as well earn some free money, right?!!

The website is free and also works in conjunction with other fitness/health apps you might have!  Check out all the details here.

4)  Redbox Codes (Free or Discounted Rentals)

Through October 16th, you can text the word DEALS to 727272 each day to get a Redbox discount code.  These codes vary by user.
