15% off Gluten-Free Snacks on Amazon

FoodShouldTasteGood Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips, 1.5-Ounce Bags (Pack of 24)
We play around with gluten-free foods in our household, not because anyone here has an allergy but because I believe that it's important to eat a good balance of everything (as in, too much of a good thing).  Anyway, I just adore Amazon for their bulk-packaging, FREE Shipping, and discounts on Subscribe & Save.

*  If you've just tuned in, Subscribe & Save is an option on select Amazon items.  You can usually save an additional 10-15% off your purchase by selecting the "Subscribe & Save" option at checkout.  This signs you up for an auto-ship-sort-of-thing, BUT it is so easy to cancel it.  You literally log-in to your account and click a button after you receiveyour order to cancel.  Crazy easy.

On to the deal...

Amazon has a LARGE selection of Gluten-free products for an EXTRA 15% off when you do Subscribe & Save.  There are lots of snack-type items to choose from that would be excellent for lunchboxes. 

The chips pictured above, FoodShouldTasteGood Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips, are sold in 1.5oz. bags in a 24 pack for just $13.11 after S&S.
 
Sesmark Savory Rice Minis, Sesame Garlic, 5.25-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)These Sesmark Savory Rice Minis Crackers are sold in 5.25oz. boxes (6 boxes in an order) Boxes (Pack of 6) for just $12.48 after S&S.

      {still available} FREE 8x10 Canvas Print (pay shipping) plus $5 Cash Back


      Canvas People

      This AWESOME offer is still available so I thought I'd repost since it would be the PERFECT Christmas gift!!

      I did this deal a while back and wanted to wait to post about it until I saw the quality. I was a little unsure how good an 8"x10" canvas print could look when it's FREE (less the shipping). But, since I'm impressed with what I got, I thought I'd pass it along!! NOTE:  If you want a larger sign canvas, you'll get $55 off!

      I ordered my canvas print from Canvas People as a gift and paid $14.95 for shipping. BUT, I went through ShopatHome and I'm getting $5 of that back!! It looks really good and will look even better propped up on a little easel.

      If you're not already a ShopatHome member, go HERE to sign up (it's FREE) and you'll get another $5 in your account after your first purchase. (So, with the other $5, you'll pay just $4.95 for this!!)

      Once you've logged-in or registered at ShopatHome, do a quick search for "Canvas People." It will be the second link. Then, click on the green "Shop Now" button and once you place your order your $5 will be deposited into your ShopatHome account. Likewise, if you're a new member, your additional $5 will be there too!

      Again, I was really impressed with this offer and it's something I will be proud of giving this year!
