Free Learning Resource

Having trouble with basic math or quadratic functions?  KhanAcademy.org offers free video tutorials on thousands of topics, mainly in math and science.  Videos are short, knowledgeable, and very well done.  Even Bill Gates uses the videos to help his son in school.

For more information on Sal Kahn, see the Fortune magaine article here.

Free 5x7 Folded Card - Today Only!

Walgreens is continuing its week of photo deals with a FREE 5x7 photo card.  Customize the front and inside.  Envelope is included.  Details are here.

I think I'll probably get the photo card, and cut off the card part.  Then, I'll have a beautiful 5x7 picture of my niece, Amy, which I've been meaning to get printed.

Free Stickers and Charts to Print!

With the school season upon us, many of us are looking for ways to motivate the little people in our lives.  At http://www.stickersandcharts.com/, I found tons of coordinating motivational charts and stickers.  Sports, smileys, teen, animal, holiday, alphabet are just some of the themes.  So, pull out the sticky, printable paper and scissors.  With 200+ sticker sheets and 75+ charts to choose from, the little ones will stay interested the whole school year.

Free Day at Brookfield Zoo!

Two deals for Brookfield Zoo are popping out at me.  TODAY is kids free at Brookfield.  Normal kids prices are $9.50.  So, grab the little ones and go see the Great Bear Wilderness exhibit.

Can't make it today?  Westfield Southlake in Merrillville, Indiana is offering 2 FREE tickets to Brookfield (a $27 value), but there is a catch.  First, you must be a WFamily member (sign up free at concierge).  Second, you must buy $50 worth of items related to Bears.  Examples of this include lunch at Panda Express, anything from Build-A-Bear, or Chicago Bears paraphernalia.  More examples and program details here.
So, maybe some early Christmas shopping is order?

Who doesn't love cookies?  And who doesn't love free cookies more?  Just discovered that if you sign up for the "Quizno's QClub," you get FREE cookies on your birthday.  Yummm!!  The signup is here at  Quiznos.com

After signing up, they also sent me a coupon for $2 off a regular or large sub, and I expect to get coupons from them in the future, too!
