Two of Our Most Popular Recent Deals...Still Ongoing!

We've had a HUGE response to two recent deals posted here on QRDeals, and I wanted to repost them here in case you missed out because they are still ongoing:

All You magazine for $19.97 with $8.00 cashback from QR!

and yesterday's Target deal for $9.99 shipped pre-order DVDs ($20 off!) plus a $10 Sears credit!

If you haven't taken advantage of these -- or even if you have -- go back and check these deals out!  Many of your fellow QR members have jumped on these and they really are amazing values!

Cost Plus World Market: Additional 15% Off AND Free Shipping Over $50, Only Thru Sun.!

World Market (3.5% cashback) has a great coupon code out that's expiring tomorrow:  PEEKAF takes 15% off sitewide, AND they have free shipping on all orders over $50 expiring on the 19th.  So you can double up on both of these but only through tomorrow!

Furniture's not included in the free shipping but they do have a higher value coupon to help make up part of the difference:  NOVFURNAF takes 25% off furniture!

World Market has beautiful products for holiday entertaining, home decorating, and gifts.  They have some great sale items in every department, too, like this Champagne Glass Set (of 12!) for $19.99 before the coupon!  I helped decorate for a wedding with bulk champagne glasses like these -- we filled them with Hershey Kisses and covered them with tulle, tied with a ribbon.  Classy and when you figure out the cost per favor, VERY cheap compared to some alternatives!

If you're looking for gift ideas for the home, or items for your own home, there are SO many great, unique, products to choose from at World Market.  Wouldn't this make a really different gift:  Moorish Party Serving Tray on sale for $9.09!  The 15% off PLUS free shipping on $50 combineable offer's just good through tomorrow -- shop now!

Please help her feel welcome!  Glad to have you with us, Ginger!

Target Deals Arrive at QR Deals

Target has a wealth of information on their site aside from all the shopping you can do there.

Hi everyone! I'm Ginger and many of you know me from several other locations around the Internet. I have been talking to the good folks here at QR Deals about my love for this company. Now, I'm onboard with QR Deals to bring you some of the deals that I find.

To make sure you get the best bang for your buck, let me show you a few of the lesser known facts about this site. Be sure to bookmark this blog post so that you can refer to the links down below.

• Site map  -Visit the and you'll find many pages you didn't know existed like rebates on various items, and cell phone recycling that will give you credit via a gift certificate.
• Visit the clearance pages - off season and discontinued items will be found here. 
• Daily Deals - about 5 items listed per day. Huge savings on popular items.  
• Red Hot Shop - some of the cutest, quirkiest, off the beaten path items are found here.
• Target RedCard - This is their in-house credit card. There are two types. One is a regular branded Visa credit card. You earn point towards a 10% discount card once you charge $1000 in store or web site purchases. The other type of RedCard is tied to your checking account,works like a debit card and also earns points. It is for use when making purchases in the store or on-line and again, you can rack up points towards that 10% discount card.

Now, let's shop!  THERE IS SO MUCH INFO! Yikes!!!!!

HOT HOT HOT!!!! One of the HOTTEST ITEMS FOR MOMS!!!

Toys

There is an entire list of toy coupons that are printable and can be used in the stores and some of them online with a $402.00 savings grand total.

Disney Deal of the Day, November 11 -- Plus NEW 20% Off Code!

Disney started a new Disney Deal of the Day yesterday, where they'll put something new and deeply discounted up every day through the next week!

Today's deal of the day:  Adult Holiday Pajamas!  Several styles to choose from, and most are marked down $10, like this Holiday Thermal Minnie and Mickey Mouse Pajama Set for Women, was $34.95, now $24.95!  Thermal top, flannel pants, AND a matching pillowcase!

And this is totally new for today -- 20% off an $89+ order with coupon code DISNEYFAN09 through Sunday!  This code is COMBINABLE with coupon code SHIPTODAY for $5 shipping on $89+ orders!  And remember, Disney is a Spotlight Merchant of the Week this week, with 5% cashback, too -- forward your order confirmation to support for cashback!

Tons of other great sales going on at Disney for you to use with this coupon code, like free personalization on fleece throws ($19.95 before the code)!  There are a few exclusions to the code, like electronic items (CDs, DVDs, etc.), gift cards, and theme park tickets.  See the site for details.  But most items sitewide ARE included!

Reebok Friends & Family: 25% Off and Free Shipping!

Reebok (3% cashback) just started a Friends & Family sale today with 25% off sitewide PLUS free shipping!  The only exclusions are EasyTone, Core Classics, YourReebok, and Adult NHL Jerseys -- everything else is fair game!  Use coupon code FRIENDS25 to access the savings and free shipping.  This sale ends on Sunday!

Get a Big Boys Cushion Crew 6 Pair Pack of Reebok socks for $7.49 shipped plus tax ($.30 for me)!  WAY cheaper than in-store!

Or, a Reebok Retro Training Tee for men, was $22, sale price $14.99, $11.24 shipped plus tax with the code!

Kohls Cash is Back...Plus EXTRA Savings for Cardholders!

Kohls (3.2% cashback) has brought back their Kohls Cash promotion today, where you earn $10 in in-store credit for every $50 you spend online or in-store!  And if you're a Kohls credit cardholder, you can use the coupon code that was snail-mailed to you for 30%, 20%, or 15% off when you use your Kohls Charge!  Don't have the code handy?  No problem:  just use your Kohls Charge at checkout and it'll automatically take 15% off!  Shipping's free on $75+ orders, too!

Selected men's sweaters and button-front shirts are $14.99 (originally up to $44)!  This is the Croft & Barrow Plaid Corduroy Casual Button Front Shirt, available in M, L, and XXL, in Navy or Espresso, was $36, now $14.99!

These make the BEST gifts!  And they're on sale, too:  Black & Decker Belgian Waffle Maker, was $29.99, now $19.99!  Chrome exterior and non-stick surface, with a "ready" indicator so you know it's fired up and ready to make some waffles!

Remember, these prices are before your Kohls charge discount (if ya have one) and they apply towards your Kohls Cash (which you don't need a Kohls charge for at all)!  So you're really stacking sales price + cardholder discount + Kohls cash and tripling up on the savings!  And 3.2% cashback from QR, too, when you forward your order confirmation email to support!

Merchant of the Week Part II: NARS Cosmetics!

NARS Cosmetics is in the spotlight this week as one of QuickRewards.net's Merchants of the Week, with cashback increased to 10% and free shipping on all orders of $25 or more!  That's half off their usual minimum for free shipping (and half of what Sephora's is, by the way)!

NARS Cosmetics has been around since the mid-90s, developed by a wildly successful makeup artist named Francois Nars, who has collaborated with top designers like Versace and Dolce & Gabbana, and whose celebrity clients have included Madonna, Lauren Hutton, and Catherine Deneuve.

NARS Cosmetics believes that "There are no rules when it comes to beauty; whatever makes you look and feel good is right."

And wow, do they have some great products to do just that!  I was checking out their Cult Favorites and saw that NARS Blush is a 2009 InStyle Best Beauty Buy, an Allure Readers' Choice Award Winner, AND, that it's consistently named the "best blush on the market" by industry professionals.  It's $25, and they have 15 shades to choose from!

Don't you hate when the lipstick doesn't look anywhere near as good on you as it did on the end of the tube?  Another of NARS' Cult Favorites is their lipstick in a shade called Dolce Vita.  It's a dusty rose color, and it's been called the most "universally flattering" lipstick shade by industry professionals...and also $24!


Now, if you want to get a sampling of the products they sell at NARS, or maybe you'd like to give someone a nice gift of high-quality cosmetics, you should check out their Gift Sets.  Their D. Lovely Lip Gloss Coffret, at $45, contains four miniature versions of their double-sided Duo Lip Gloss, so you can try out eight different NARS gloss shades!  There are some other great gift sets to choose from, too, featuring their nail polish, Body Glow products, makeup brushes, lip pencils and sharpeners, and blushes.

Don't forget -- you'll receive 10% cashback when you shop through QR's link to NARS Cosmetics, but this increased cashback rate is only good through Sunday!

I want to see our QR members rally for the cause!  Post a comment and let everybody know that you did your part to help bring higher Disney rates to QR!

Deal of the Day: One Year Subscription to Taste of Home Magazine

 BestDealMagazines has Taste of Home magazine as their deal of the day today!  I've never seen it this cheap before:  $4.43 a year after 10% cashback and coupon code QUICKREW15 !  I love, love, LOVE this magazine!  The recipes are easy to make, it's full of beautiful, glossy pictures, and it contains no ads!  If you like to cook, or if you know someone who does, this is a GREAT magazine and super-cheap (it's $18 a year at most other places and NO ONE ELSE has it this cheap -- I checked!)!

Happy Birthday From QRDeals.com and QuickRewards.net!

Happy Monday morning to ya, and it's time once again to wish a happy birthday (and a pinch to grow an inch!) to some very special members of the QR Birthday Bunch!  Please take a sec and wish them a happy birthday, if you'd be so kind:

• 11/9:  Joy J.
  
• 11/10:  Ellyn H., Helen P., and Timothy R.
  
• 11/11:  Lesli S., Jennifer C., Sue F., and Deborah S.
  
• 11/14:  Margery S.
• 11/15:  Elizabeth C.
  

You know how Google now offers suggestions for how to complete your search phrase after you start typing it in?  It's a real hoot if you haven't played with it before!  Anyway, I typed in the phrase "birthdays are like" and clicked the links it suggested, and I wanted to share the findings of this scientific research with you today.

"Birthdays are like weiners.  Okay, weiners are nothing like birthdays.  There just aren't enough birthday cards with 'weiner' on them.  Weiner, weiner, weiner!" 

"Birthdays are like wine...they get better with time."

"Birthdays are like farts..."  Strangely enough, there are multiple variations of this one.

"Birthdays are like farts...you can always expect another one to come around eventually."

"Birthdays are like farts...no matter how secret you try to keep it everyone finds out soon."

"Birthdays are like farts...they're fun while they last, but the real joy is in the aftermath."

"Birthdays are like farts...they really stink, but you always seem to enjoy your own."

"Birthdays are like farts...just let go -- they pass quickly."

And the last Google suggestion:

"Birthdays are like boogers...the more you have, the harder it is to breathe!"

Here's to many more boogers!  :)  Happy birthday from the staff of QuickRewards.net and QRDeals.com!
