Great Deal Alert: Alice.com - always free shipping and VERY low prices

I have just discovered Alice.com, an online store that has the lowest prices (and clip-free manufacturer's coupons!) and the shipping is ALWAYS free!

Right now, I got Kotex liners for $.41/pkg and Suave shampoo for $.60/bottle, for a grand total (with tax) of $2.41 for two packages of liners and two bottles of shampoo.
Normally, there's a 6 item order minimum (due to their super low prices and free shipping, I believe), but since it was my first order, they let me checkout with less than 6.

If you haven't tried Alice before, check it out! Just do a search for the items you normally buy (or Kotex and Suave like me), and sort by price. You will notice that there are coupons available, and they will be automatically applied after you put the products in your cart.

I don't know how long the deal would last, so I suggest you take advantage of it asap.

UPD: there's also Bounty paper towels for $.59/roll (single roll after the coupon), which is a pretty good price for a brand name paper towel.

Free Ziploc bags - hurry - first 10 000 only!

Free Angel Crafts eBook

Get your free Angel Crafts eBook here.

Included in this ebook are:

Angel Craft Patterns

We have a number of angel craft projects with free patterns, including several colorful angel decorations, an antiqued angel hanger and a patriotic themed angel (page 17). The eBook also has tutorials for some great outdoor angel projects. The angel wind chime (page 20) or clay pot angel (page 14) would be great in a garden or on a patio.

Wire Angel Crafts

Use craft wire to create these unique designs, like the hanging bell angel (page 23) that makes a great decoration for a package or the heavenly angel centerpiece (page 26), which would beautify any holiday table.

Kitchen Angel Crafts

Decoreate your kitchen with angels. The patina topiary angel (page 29) is a great window decoration and could double as a table centerpiece for guests. The pottery clay angels (page 32) are great for the kitchen counter, but could be displayed in any room of the house.

Christmas Angel Crafts

Christmas is the perfect holiday to create and display all of your angel crafts. This eBook section contains many great ornament ideas, but once the tree is gone, they will still look stunning around your home. Try the clay angel ornament (page 34) or create snowman and angel ornaments (page 40) out of clay with your kids.

Free crochet patterns

My oldest daughter (8) is learning how to crochet, and we just love these simple patterns (and the convenience of downloading them for free! :)) These patterns use a little yarn, and are quick to complete, so Vicki has enough patience to finish what she started and is very proud of herself.

You can download your copy here and see for yourself - these projects are great for beginners, but the result makes you feel like a pro! :)

FeelGood Campaign

As it gets colder, I find myself counting my blessings more often and... tend to think more of those who are less fortunate. Turns out, I'm not alone -- Lands' End has started a FeelGood Campaign: with every FeelGood purchase they donate a cone of yarn to Warming Families Foundation that knits clothing for the homeless. Each cone makes up to 28 hats!

If you are not making a purchase at this time, you can still help by knitting a hat and sending it to a participating volunteer group in your area, or by simply spreading the word and encouraging your friends to participate.

Don't know how to knit? Check out this video with Vickie Howell, best selling crafts author and host of TV's Knitty Gritty. Wouldn't that be a good starter project?
