We have a real treat today–a member submitted video review of drugstore.com. drugstore.com is a favorite among many Sunshine Rewards members for a lot of reasons including variety of merchandise, discounts provided, and customer service.

We love it when our members submit video reviews because members always tell it like it is. If a member feels strongly enough to go to the trouble of making a video about a merchant, you know that they must really like that merchant!

Take a look at Karn’s video review below and see some of the great products that you can get at drugstore.com. Then check out the drugstore.com coupons, deals, and cash back from Sunshine Rewards.

I have finally captured the Bendaroos commercial with my daughters, Jillian and Cassie, in it! It’s not the best quality, but it is still pretty cool.

How did it happen? Cassie made a Bendaroos video for Sunshine Rewards several months ago. In June, I got an email from a man who said that he had seen the video on YouTube and was producing the newest Bendaroos commercial. He asked if Cassie would like to be in it. One thing led to another and Bendaroos actually ended up coming to our house to shoot both of my daughters for the commercial.

Here’s the commercial in a very low tech way (my Flip camera in front of the television!). To celebrate, Angie has put up a new Bendaroos offer on the site for you to earn cash back when you buy this popular toy!

In the absence of a good theme this week, we decided to talk about the last place that each of us shopped online. Interestingly, we had all shopped at the places that the others had last shopped (that sentence seems weird). It was our second week using the free conference calling site instead of Skype and it went well.

Show Notes:

* Cindy explained why she shopped at KraftyKid.com despite the fact that she has no kids at home. She got so caught up in the excitement of everyone else buying the craft grab bags that she ended up buying some for her grandsons. (Earn 10% cash back at Sunshine Rewards)
* We’re hoping that KraftyKid.com will be able to stay in business even though their site says that they are no longer doing the Craft of the Month clubs. The grab bags are terrific.
* Tricia talked about drugstore.com and the volumizing hairspray that she purchased there the other day. Everyone was in agreement that drugstore.com has a huge selection of different types of items as well as regular coupons and discounts. (Get drugstore.com coupons and earn 5% cash back).
* Cindy loves the “BOGO.” Angie thought Tricia’s talk about the Sexual Well Being section was TMI.
* Angie introduced Restaurant.com and everyone talked about what a great deal their restaurant gift certificates are as well as how it helps you to try out new restaurants. (Shout out from Tricia to Mudsocks in Noblesville, Indiana!) (Get Restaurant.com coupons and earn 7% cash back)

Next time we will be back to a more traditionally themed podcast. Maybe.

The shopping season is just around the corner, and I’m a list maker.  In thinking about purchases that I need to make this upcoming holiday season and making my lists, I remembered a gift I received last year that I had completely forgotten about!  It was such a great gift that I didn’t want to use it all up too quickly.  I hid it from myself for use after the first of the year and must have hid it well.  I was so excited when I pulled it out today, and now I really can’t wait to use it. 

What is it?  It’s the Scent Sample for Her from Sephora.  It includes eight samples of designer fragrances for her that you can wear and experience and a certificate for a full size bottle of you favorite of the eight.  The samples come with a small spray container that allows you to carry the fragrances with you in your purse or tote or toss it into your makeup bag.  Once you’ve had an opportunity to try all eight, simply choose your favorite and trade your certificate for a full size bottle!  It’s really like two gifts in one.  You get to enjoy eight fragrances AND you get to choose your favorite. 

The Sephora Scent Sampler for Her is a perfect gift idea!  Ask for one for yourself or purchase one for a beautiful lady in your life.  The Sampler is $50 and includes all eight samples, the spray container, and the certificate.  Right now at Sunshine Rewards, you can earn 2% cash back on your purchase and get free shipping when you spend $75 or more.  As always, you will also get three free samples from Sephora with any order.

Let Sephora help you with your list this year!  Let Sunshine Rewards help you earn cash back!

In what will go down as the most technically challenged podcast yet, we finally managed to pull off 30  minutes of talk about where to get NFL merchandise. Instead of our usual Skype (which we couldn’t use because my computer kept cutting out), we attempted a friend’s suggestion of a conference call site. It took us awhile to get the hang of it and by the time we actually started recording, we were laughing ourselves silly. For better or worse, here it is.

Show Notes:

• A slight giggle fit that we had to work through before we could actually get to the discussion. Cindy found a way to work the Steelers into every sentence.
• Angie talked about Fathead and how she decorated her rec/bonus room with all kinds of Colts memorabilia, including a larger than life Peyton Manning. Here’s the link to the Fathead video that we talked about. It shows how Angie incorporated the Fathead into her room. (Fathead coupons and 6% cash back)
• Lots of stuff besides NFL at Fathead, including Disney characters and college teams. They also have some good specials going right now (and usually do).
• I introduced Football Fanatics. Everyone agreed that they have the best variety of NFL merchandise from clothes to entertainment to decor. Despite some problems with merchandise, their customer service team has always come through with a way to remedy problems.
• I admitted to owning one Colts shirt that she bought at Football Fanatics but only wears in the off season (but it is comfy and washes up nice). (Football Fanatics coupons and 5% cash back)
• Flat rate shipping and the 10% Fanatics Rewards credits make it worth it to spend a lot of money there.
• Lastly, cindy talked about NFL Shop. They have a great selection of jerseys, including the ability to personalize your own (like Cindy does for her dogs). They also have some “Legacy” jerseys of retired players and some neat outdoor games branded with teams. It’s easy to get addicted to buying from there. (NFL Shop coupons and cash back)

Surprisingly, no fights broke out about team wars. It could have been that Cindy and I would have double teamed Angie anyway.
