I am completely in love with this site. Usually I don’t get caught up in many shopping sites. When I need something, I generally go to Amazon. However, Daily Steals has me buying not just things I need, but at some majorly deep discounts. The best deal I believe I’ve found here was the Pillow Pets for my daughter for less than $10 (including shipping!). She’s been wanting one for a long time, but I’ve never been able to justify the cost of it, until I saw it on Daily Steals. She’s going to be mighty surprised on her birthday! The idea behind Daily Steals is to offer not just a whole lot of products at regular prices, but one offer a day at one heck of a deal. They’ve recently taken it a step further and started offering a few other products each day in specific categories. Each deal is only available for...

I’m a sucker for this site. I absolutely love their selection of fabric, and the prices are pretty hard to beat. So when I see any kind of discount code, I can’t pass it up. This week only, until Saturday, July 24, 2010, Joann.com is offering flat rate shipping for only $5. No minimum or restrictions, just $5 shipping on anything you order. Use promotion code EQT205 at checkout. Enjoy!  Read More →

I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a contest junkie.  I love the chance of getting something for nothing, and really who doesn’t? What I’m not so fond of, though, is the junk mail all those contests tend to bring. Granted there ARE some companies I dont mind getting updates from. Why else would I be entering to win something from them if I had no interest in their products to begin with? I just don’t like being given the choice to sign up or not, and some stuff is just really unrelated to the product I’m interested in. The other problem that tends to arise is the number of forms you have to fill out for each contest. While I don’t mind filing out multiple forms, it tends to get annoying to find and figure out forms and rules on multiple sites. Not only that, but sifting through the contests to find only useful...

I’m usually not one for make-up or all things girly, but this site has me absolutely hooked. Not just because of their products, but because of their prices. Plus they have some WONDERFUL discounts that they run on a regular basis. When one catches my eye, I’m all over it. This one is for sure one of those deals. From now until May 2nd, get $1.98 shipping on $20 or more at E.L.F. Cosmetics. Use code 198_SHIP. Happy Shopping!  Read More →

Even after 2 years, Webkinz is still pretty popular in our household. While the kids don’t play as often as they use to, they still get on to check their friends every once in awhile. If your looking to get started or want to add to your collection, why not pick up the Pet of the Month and get some fun bonuses? The Webkinz Pet of the Month for April 2010 is the Lion, which happens to be a retired pet. Not to worry! Amazon still offers this Webkinz and for about the same price as you’ll find any Webkinz pets. Have fun playing with your Webkinz pets!  Read More →

My best friend loves to talk about sales and coupons. What’s more, she absolutely loves to share all the great deals she finds. It was only a matter of time before she started a website about it! Since I’m so proud of her and excited she finally got this going, I just had to share. While it’s mostly geared towards deals and special in central Iowa, you might still find this site useful for your local area (such as deals from Target and Walgreens). Highly recommend you check out her site ASAP! See: IowaCouponChic.com  Read More →

Alright so this isn’t what you normally see here at Idea Queen. We tend to stay focused on recipes, crafts, and discounts. But my nagging love of music and a recent purchase has me bragging. Yes I’ve moved into the new century when it comes to downloading music. I found places to buy cheap mp3s. *GRIN* So here’s a few sites I’ve stumbled on that offer legal music downloads. What’s listed below are both places to buy full CDs (one time) and monthly sites offering unlimited downloads. Depending on which fits your needs is which service you’ll need to go with. 1. MP3s at Amazon My favorite place to buy cheap mp3s, but only because it’s the only place I’ve purchased them. Plus of course I have no desire to buy multiple tracks and albums a month. Just one album here and there is all I’m really...

First let me start off by saying that Idea Queen is no girly girl. Make up does not interest me usually, and I can be quite picky. Also, I’m not the type that will pay ungodly amounts of money for something I hardly wear. However, my friend turned me on to E.L.F. Cosmetics simply because of their prices. I was absolutely floored to see how cheap some of their items were, and how many deals they have on dang near a daily basis. Because I love a good deal, I felt the need to share what discount codes for Elf Cosmetics that I’ve found. I’ll try my best to update this page on a regular basis as well. All Mineral makeup 25% Off!

What easier way to keep a toddler entertained than with a big book of stickers? They’re easier on walls than crayons, that’s for sure (and if you have never had the pleasure of scrubbing crayon off the wall, may I just say you are lucky… so far). Sticker books aren’t hard to come across. You can run to your local dollar store, but if you want to bring out the big books of stickers, you might need to look elsewhere. We did some digging and found some excellent sticker books for toddlers available on Amazon, and have listed some of them below. Melissa & Doug Sticker Collections Each of these featured sticker books contain THOUSANDS of stickers for a little bit of nothing. By far one of the best prices we’ve ever seen on sticker books. Plus you have you choice between pink, blue, purple, and green books for...
