I have spent hours scouring the internet for the best deals on the top brands women adore! There is something to fit every budget. Check out the great companies below for savings on gifts for Mom. 

e.l.f. Cosmetics

It's not often you can order make up online from a reputable cosmetic company without spending a small fortune but e.l.f. cosmetics makes beauty affordable to everyone! Want proof?? Check out their e.l.f. Essential Lipstick or their
e.l.f. Essential All Over Color Stick for just a dollar each! If you aren't sure what your mom would like or what colors your mom wears, you can't go wrong getting their e.l.f. Essential Little Black Beauty Book in warm tones for just five dollars! 

Right now, you can get free shipping from e.l.f. cosmetics when you spend $25 or more! with code SHIP25!

Elizabeth Arden
I know what you are thinking. What is this doing on a page all about deals and discounts? Well, I will show you. I used to have the same mind set as you do when it comes to this brand. Just the name would would be a turn off because of it being so 'expensive'. However, I have learned that I was very wrong in my way of thinking. Yes, some things can be 'expensive' but I can show you how to get some amazing deals and discounts on their website this month. 
For instance, when you buy their Red Door Gift Set ($100 value) you are now eligible to get a free 9-Piece Deluxe Gift + Free Shipping with any $55 or more purchase from ElizabethArden.com. Enter code MOM during checkout. Ends 5/14.  And now suddenly you have two Mother's Day gifts!
Not looking to spend that much? No problem! You can also get the same results by getting their Elizabeth Arden Sunlit Bronze Beauty Kit and receiving a Free 8-Piece Mother's Day Gift with any $27.50 or more purchase from ElizabethArden.com. Enter code MOM8 during checkout. Ends 5/15. See suddenly it doesn't seem so 'expensive' now does it? 

Cooking.com
What could be a better gift than a gift that keeps on giving! In this case, a gift that gives indulgent meals to the family. Win win right? I think so! 
Cooking.com has literally thousands of products on their site to choose from in every price range imaginable so as a mother myself, I am going to just give you a few suggestions. 
For starters, every mother needs a good cookbook. I recommend getting the Signed Deen Family Cookbook with Cookbook Holder. It's not just practical but it's also a great addition to every woman's cooking arsenal with all the tasty recipes it contains! 
Now that Mom has a recipe picked out, she needs something to cook it in. My personal favorite cookware is the Rachael Ray 14-pc. Nonstick Hard Anodized II Cookware Set. They are so easy to clean and very versatile going from stove to oven and back again. Looking back, I don't know how I ever managed before I got my set. 
One tip, if you purchase cookware for a mom; make a special note inside the card of a special or favorite meal she has cooked for you. Let her know you remember the little things she does.
Once the meal is finished cooking, Mom needs something to serve that delicious meal on.  My recommendation is the Fiesta 20-pc. Dinnerware Set, Scarlet. The color is beautiful and when you put food on a pretty plate it just makes the food more visually appealing. 
Right now cooking.com has a pretty good coupon deal where you get $30 Off Orders of $250! Use Coupon Code C94833 Exp 6/30/12

Old Time Candy
It's a fact, women love candy. So why not get Mom some candy she used to eat as a child and probably hadn't seen or had in years! Their 4 lb Decade Box with Mother's Day Box Top can be personalized to make it even more special. They also have a 2 lb, box but I say go ahead and get the 4 lb box and let Mom feel like a kid again! If you are worried about the amount of sugar, they also have a 2.5 lb Sugar-free Assortment you can get. When you order, you can get 10% OFF All Orders through the end of May at OldTimeCandy.com! Use Promo Code: 65221
                       
Perfume Emporium
This is one of my favorite online retailers for perfume. Their discounts are amazing! I especially love their Women's 12 Month Mini of the Month Club where you receive a different mini bottle of perfume every month. This would truly be a Mother's Day gift that keeps on giving all year long! The perfumes they send are top name brands some of which are usually only found in high end department stores so there is no worry about being sent something cheap. If you prefer, they also offer a Women's 6 Month Mini of the Month Club which would be great if you want to try out the program and see if it's something she likes. 
One wonderful thing about this site, besides the discounts; is that even though the name is Perfume Emporium they sell more than just perfume. They also sell hair care products, skin care products and even make up; all at great prices!
Celebrate Mom @ Perfume Emporium! Get $15 off any 2 items, use code MOMMY. Or if you prefer, you can get FREE Shipping at Perfume Emporium! by entering coupon code FS2000 at checkout.

I hope these ideas help you in your quest to save while shopping for Mother's Day! And as always, you heard it 'Straight From the Horse's Mouth' you can get great deals online for Mother's Day!

Going once... going twice... FREE!!!

   Auctions are everywhere! Every time I turn around I am always seeing someone auctioning off something, whether its on television or at an auction house or online. I just never have the money to spend on an auction... till now. 
   I found a great little auction site online where everything is FREE! You sign up and they give you 'credits' you use to bid on items.  Just for signing up you get enough credits to win your first auction.
   Not enough 'credits'? No problem! Just post something of yours to auction off and get more credits. 
   It's a great way to clear out that cluttered closet of stuff you never use, and easily get something you want and can use!
    If you don't want to get rid of something of yours or don't have anything to post, no problem! They have plenty of other options for getting more credits.
   They have something for everyone on there. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself... it's FREE!

Honesty is the Policy

  In my last blog, I told you about a cool survey site where you can get paid for answering short multiple choice questions and enter drawings to win cash. 


  However, I wasn't satisfied just stopping there. I knew there had to be another, easier way to get paid for answering short survey questions. 


  Well, I found one!



 This is a survey site similar to the previous one I found, only difference is they only do cash rewards. There is no 'I'm sorry, you did not qualify for this survey' or 'This survey has ended', they pay you for each survey you do! No tickets are involved.  All you have to do is make sure your demographics are correct and BE HONEST!!!


  It doesn't matter if you are unemployed or if you are a CEO of a company, you will still receive surveys to complete and get paid!


  How does it work?


  Simply sign up and start earning right away. They pay you for each question during registration. Be very honest during your sign up. 


   Then, on your dashboard it will tell you when you have a survey to do. When doing the surveys answer the questions the best you can while being completely honest. 


   The surveys are short, multiple choice questions which will take less than 10 minutes to complete. Most of the surveys I took were able to be completed in under 5 minutes using a slow internet connection.


   Once you complete the survey your earnings automatically show up in your account. Once you have 15 dollars you are able to cash out and they will send you your earnings through paypal.  


   Here is where honesty plays a big role. Every time you complete a survey and you are honest and your answers match your demographics on file your Trait Score goes up. The higher your Trait Score the more valuable they consider your opinion and your chances of getting higher paying surveys to complete. Always make sure your demographics are up to date and honest for the best results! 


   Earning money on this site is simple, easy and doesn't take much time to do.

It Pays to Be Honest...

     Have you ever tried doing surveys to get paid for your opinion? If your answer is yes, then you probably know how aggravating it can be to 1) find a survey you qualify for  2) complete a survey without being told that the survey has ended or half way through the survey you suddenly no longer qualify.

   I myself, know all too well how frustrating it is to get anywhere with those survey sites and how easily you can lean towards wanting to lie about some things just to try to convince yourself that you can get paid for your honest opinion. But let's face it, if you lie on the survey you are not really helping anyone. I got tired of trying and trying to give my opinion while being honest and decided to go in search of a better way to get something, anything, for voicing my opinion.

   I found a really good free survey site. This is a site where it pays to be honest, literally! They even pay you during registration!

  HOW IT WORKS:

  With this site, you answer short surveys which are each three questions long and multiple choice. Once you complete a set of questions simply click the button 'show me my prize' and you will be taken to the next page where you will collect your payment. You are paid in 3 different ways; tickets, coins or cash and most times its a combination of a couple of them. Here are the ways they pay.

Tickets: The tickets you receive are automatically entered into their $50 drawing that occurs every 24 hrs. After each drawing, your ticket amount resets to zero and you must build up your ticket amount for the next drawing. Don't worry though, you have plenty of time to work on it since you can 'play' their surveys every 3 hrs till the next drawing.

Coins: Their coins are great because they are so versatile. Unlike the tickets which get automatically entered into a drawing, you can either save them up or manually enter the amount of coins you want to enter into their $2 drawing that occurs every 4 hours. You can even convert your coins into tickets if you prefer.

Cash: The cash you receive from the surveys is usually only a few cents each time, but as we all know a few cents here and there can really add up! This is especially true in this case since once you reach $2 on this site, you are considered 'vested' and allowed to cash out and have the money sent to your paypal account. *Note: Paypal is the only way they pay your earnings.

   I know you are wondering how many surveys you can do during your 'play' period occurring every 3 hrs from the last time you played. The answer varies and depends on your Trust Level. This is where honesty plays a big part in your earnings. As long as you are truthful and honest on your answers it is very easy to move your trust level up. Here are the different levels with earnings and amount of surveys. (Everyone starts at level one but you don't stay there long!)

	LEVEL 2: 7 extra bonus lottery tickets and 2 extra bonus coins per survey answered, 3 extra surveys per session and an occasional surprise multiplier event.
	LEVEL 3: 12 extra bonus lottery tickets and 2 extra bonus coins per survey answered, 3 extra surveys per session and more frequent surprise multiplier events.
	LEVEL 4: 18 extra bonus lottery tickets and 3 extra bonus coins per survey answered, 4 extra surveys per session and more valuable surprise multiplier events.
	LEVEL 5: 25 extra bonus lottery tickets and 4 extra bonus coins per survey answered, 4 extra surveys per session and more frequent valuable surprise multiplier events.
	LEVEL 6: 35 extra bonus lottery tickets and 5 extra bonus coins per survey answered, 5 extra surveys per session and even more frequent valuable surprise multiplier events.
	LEVEL 7: 50 extra bonus lottery tickets and 7 extra bonus coins per survey answered, 5 extra surveys per session and even more more better better surprise multiplier events.
	LEVEL 8: 65 extra bonus lottery tickets and 9 extra bonus coins per survey answered, 6 extra surveys per session and yep, even and better surprise multiplier events.
	LEVEL 9: 80 extra bonus lottery tickets and 11 extra bonus coins per survey answered, 7 extra surveys per session and up up up more and better surprise multiplier events.
	LEVEL 10: 100 extra bonus lottery tickets and 15 extra bonus coins per survey answered, 7 extra surveys per session and top secret more and better surprise multiplier events. This group also gets a VIP badge in their profile.
