Ready for my next super secret step in my money-saving strategy for Christmas this year?

(In case you are new around these parts, I am planning on spending no more than $50 on Christmas this year–without being a Scrooge or knitting a single thing.  You can read parts 1 and 2 here and here.)

I just ordered this Christmas gift for my one year old, Lincoln. Besides being cute, it also teaches the names of shapes and colors and has a multi-lingual switch that allows baby to hear the shapes in English, Spanish, and French.  And my favorite part?  It has an on/off volume control.

Guess how much I paid?  Mmhmm.  You guessed it.  Not a cent.

I ordered it through the Pampers Gifts to Grow program. Been entering codes faithfully for many years now and finally decided it was high time to use them!  (My Mother in Law deserves props for entering codes for me as well!)

Are you a Pampers Gifts to Grow member? If so, do you have enough points to grab a Christmas gift for someone this year?  There are a wide range of gifts available for baby or for others (i.e. an Applebee’s gift card).

I am crossing my fingers that this will come in time, however.  It says it should arrive in 8-10 weeks.  So, I guess there’s a chance that it will be a birthday present instead!

If you aren’t a Pampers Gifts to Grow member yet and still have a baby in diapers, you can sign up here.  Then start saving up your points for next Christmas!  (Look for codes on packages of diapers and wipes.)

The following codes should get you some free points to start off with:

GRATUIT89102009

THRIFTYMOMMYGTG

STARTEARNINGNOW

Plus, did you know that through 11/05/2009, you will get triple points for codes found on Pampers Wipes?  If you have some Pampers wipes, be sure to add your codes before Thursday!

    Thank you for reminding me about my Pamper’s codes.
    Since my son is potty trained for the most part, diapers are a thing of the past but I never used what points I had left.
    I had just enough to get a code for 25 free 4×8 cards.
    My Christmas cards are now taken care of!!!

    Thanks again.

    I am loving this series! I just cashed in my Swag Bucks for a bunch of Amazon cards, sadly I don’t have enough Pampers points yet for any toys.

    I put a link to your series on my blog! http://fabulesslyfrugalmom.blogspot.com/2009/11/so-its-officially-november-now-and-as.html

    Can’t wait to read more!!

    Thanks for the great ideas!
