🚨 NEW Shopping Info You NEED To Know!

Save Big at the Pump: From July 3 to 6, save $1 per gallon on up to 35 gallons if you’re a Prime Member at participating Earnify stations (BP, Amoco, ampm)

Huge Walmart Toy Clearance Sale (40-60% OFF!): Big brand toys including LEGO, Little Tikes and Disney sets are marked down from $50 to as low as $20! This is one of those sales where in-store deals will be the strongest, but online clearance is also live for those on a time crunch.

Costco Offers $15 Off Same-Day Delivery: Now through July 20, use code “SUMMERSAMEDAY25” for $15 off a $50+ same-day order on Costco’s website. Offer valid for members only and alcohol and prescriptions are excluded.

Increase on Stamp Prices: Forever Stamps will be going up to 78 cents on July 14 (from $0.73). USPS will also be raising rates for postcards and packages.

Now would be a great time to pick up one of those stamp bundles sold at Costco or Sam’s Club to save some $$$ before the big change.

📦 Amazon Prime Day 2025: What You NEED To Know!

If Prime Day usually feels like the same old thing, this year, the differences are significant. Here is what we know so far:

🗓️ It’s longer than ever! Prime Day now runs four full days from July 8 through July 11 instead of the usual 48 hours. At double the length, there’s time for many more deals.

🎯 Invite-only deals are back: For high-demand items expected to sell out, Prime members can request access ahead of time and lock in the price. I disliked this system in the past because I rarely scored the items I requested.. but hopefully this process has been improved in 2025.

📉 Save Big on Amazon Basics: Right now Amazon is running a pre-Prime Day promotion where you can score 20% OFF when you purchase $100 worth of Amazon Basics products. If you’re someone who buys their batteries or household goods from Amazon, this could save you $$$!

🤑 Half Off Clothing: Another promotion you can take advantage of right now is the up to 50% OFF clothing promotion within their new Amazon Haul section.

📱4 New Videos on my channel: Yes that’s right! I’ll be up with you each morning to share the top 50 deals of each sale day. Don’t forget to turn on your YouTube notifications for my channel so you can see the deals as soon as they drop!

✍🏼 SHARE YOUR SAVINGS!

Here are some recent subscriber submitted money-saving tips:

Konrad from California Writes “For those who live in CA, Panda Express has a deal for Baseball season. Anytime the Dodgers win you can get a 2 item combo for $6 by using the code “DODGERSWIN” at checkout.”

Reader “Yol2000” Writes: "SAVE ON AIRLINE TICKETS EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU GO TO THE AIRPORT TO PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS!!! There is an "airline fee/carrier usage charge" that can be more than the tax. On two roundtrip tickets to Las Vegas that charge was $88. I have gone to the airport to purchase the tickets and saved that fee. If I purchased those tickets online I would have had to pay that fee.”

Emily Writes: “I use coupons all the time but I make sure I tip the server on pre-discounted amount and then add a little to that just because I save doesn’t mean it should affect their tip in a negative way.”
