I'm Michelle Cox -- the owner of Lipstick to Crayons. I’m also a Mom to three kids (a teen, tween and toddler), a professional writer (www.michellemcox.com) and a blogger (www.fromthemom.com). And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Save money on gas with free shipping!

Things are getting bad. Real bad. I just spent $100 to fill my gas tank and I’ll have to fill up again in five days. If that isn’t bad enough my grocery bill increases $10 each week and my family isn’t eating anymore than we were a month ago. Money is tight so more than ever I have to find ways to save wherever I can. This is why I prefer to shop online. I tend to spend a lot less than if I go into the store with all the things on endcaps that I didn’t know I needed until I saw them. All too often I go to Target for a bottle of shampoo and walk out $100 poorer.

The only drawback to shopping online can be the shipping and handling charges. Many times I have deserted my online shopping cart when I saw the high shipping cost.

Recently I came across a site I must share with our spend thrifty readers. Freeshipping.org is a free shipping resource that is committed to helping shoppers save money online by listing trusted online retailers who offer free shipping coupons.

The website is easy to navigate with a huge list of free shipping offers all in one place. The most well known retailers and their logo are visible at the top of the page such as Target.com. One click on the logo takes me to a page of Target free shipping offers and codes.

I can also browse the site by store name or category. I can find a huge list of toys free shipping codes by clicking the toys category. I wasn’t even aware that so many of my favorite retailers offer free shipping.

Thanks to freeshipping.org I can save money on gas and shipping. I have the site bookmarked and I check their site first before I shop. Chances are very good that I will find the free shipping code I need.
