Lakeshore allows daycare center and family homes to sign up for their teacher discount program so I have been signed up for a while. I got "buy one get one 50% off" coupon emailed to me good for this weekend only. I needed a few things so I went onto their website yesterday and signed up my other email address for coupons also. They have this thing right now where you sign up and you can get a coupon for a discount of 10-50% off of any single item and I got a 40% off coupon!
I took my 40% off coupon in yesterday and bought a new dish playset for $23.99 (originally $39.99) which has settings for 6 including tumblers and tea cups and saucers and some pots and pans with lids. Then today I went back with my BOGO 50% off and bought a multi-cultural food set for $39.99 (ouch!) and a box of grocery store food items like milk, cans, etc for $15.98 (originally $29.99). It was stuff that's on my wishlist anyway so I'm glad I waited.

OK so now for the tech savy. I have an iPhone so I went online and opened an account with Chase that will now serve as my business account. It's $10 (tax deductible anyway) a month but I can now deposit my checks by taking photos of my client's checks with the Chase bank app. I have to say it's pretty awesome.
Then I went to Squareup.com where you sign up for a free card reader! That's right! I can now accept credit and debit cards right from anywhere I am off of my iPhone. The device is free and the app is free and it plugs into where your iPhone's earpiece goes. There's no monthly fee but it's a lot like PayPal in the sense that they charge you a percentage of the charge. In this case however you can have the money go into any account you set it up to. The fee is 2.75% swiped and If you enter credit card numbers manually, it costs 3.5% + 15ยข per transaction. PayPal is 2.9% + .30 per transaction (which is what I've been using). Just wanted to share!!
