My Christmas Brag

So I've been searching for the perfect gift for my Nanny. She's 89 and has Parkinsons. She shakes a lot and always ends up spilling hot coffee and tea over herself. I decided this year I was going to get her a photo travel mug for Christmas. Well, the Walmart Photocentre was selling them for $34.97!! That seemed like way to much to me, so I checked out Shutterfly instead.

The photo travel mugs there were valued at only $15.99. The shipping (unfortunately) was more than ten dollars but it was still less than the travel mug at Walmart so I decided I would order it anyway. Then I remembered I had 50 free prints for signing up a few weeks ago, so I ordered those too. I was still kind of bummed about the shipping and I was sure I had seen something from Shutterfly in the Pampers Village, so I headed over there to see if I could redeem my points for a gift certificate.

No gift certificate but for 500 points you can get a package with 25 4x6, 2 5x7 and 1 8x10 prints. It seemed like such a good deal, I rounded up some extra points codes I had lying around and ordered 2! I just happened to check my email before I placed my order and I had another 30 free prints from Shutterfly waiting in my inbox!!!

So for $35.67 (less than I would have paid at Walmart for ONE mug with the taxes added in) I got:

130 4x6 prints
4 5x7 prints
2 8x10 prints
1 Photo Travel Mug
