Hooked On Phonics


I have always been a fan of Hooked on Phonics products, but they can be so expensive. They have every right to charge high prices since their product is proven. I found a great deal for 50% off every item online though. So I decided to stock up! Online deals that do not have free shipping or require large purchases can kill the deal with shipping costs sometimes. In situations like this, I call all of my friends and family and see if they are interested in what I have found. If other people add to your order, you can split shipping costs or bring the order amount up to the free shipping limit. This also ensures that the people you care about can get great deals like you, and that is what I enjoy most.

Vsmile Power Cord


I just learned something terrific! I could not for the life of me find the power adapter for the V-Smile. We unpacked everything within the first few weeks of moving to our new house, but we still were not able to find everything. I decided to experiment and try using the cord from the "I Can Play Piano" game. IT WORKED!!! I Can Play Piano comes with the adapter and is on clearance at most places. The extra one for the V-Smile is at least $15 and we were able to find the I Can Play Piano for $20. Hopefully this little bit of information helps others.
