If your kids are like mine then they LOVE getting stuff in the mail!  Here’s a list of cheap and free stuff for kids that they’re sure to run to the mailbox in anticipation every month!

Cheap and Free Stuff for Kids

Everyone has loved my Free Stuff for New Moms article so much that I decided to share my favorite Cheap and Free Stuff for Kids!

There are so many great learning programs out there for kids….and many offer cheap or free introductory offers.  I’ve compiled a list of my favorites to share with you.  Most of these programs want you just to try out their program because they know you’ll fall in love and want to keep the monthly subscription….in fact I’ve kept several of these subscriptions because they are such a great deal!

Just make sure you read the fine print and know the cancellation policy  if you’re not interested in keeping the subscriptions.

1.  Citrus Lane – 40% off your first box!

 7. Disney Movie Club

I’m such a Disney addict!!  We LOVE Disney books, movies, and (of course) trips in our house!!  Disney isn’t very big on discounting their movies so you’ll get a great price by using the Disney Movie Club.  To get these 3 movies for $1.99 you agree to purchase 5 more movies over the course of 24 months.  But, you can go ahead and purchase 1 movie at a deep discount with this introductory offer and then only have to buy 4 more movies in the next 2 years.

If you figure that the average Disney Animated Blu-Ray is $25 at Target or Walmart then this package would wind up costing you $200 (for all 8 movies)….obviously this would all be less if you’re buying DVDs but let’s stick with Blu-Rays since that’s what I order.  Now, when you purchase the 3 movies for $1.99 and purchase the 4th movie at the discounted rate of 14.95 then you’ll have just 4 movies to purchase at the regular price of 29.95.  So, you wind up spending 135.75 plus shipping and handling.  That means this movie club winds up saving you almost $100!  You can read all of the Membership Details by clicking Membership Details on the left menu here.

Now, my BIG suggestion is to use this movie to buy Disney Animated Feature Films…you’ll get the most bang for your buck because these rarely go on sale.  The other titles you’ll usually be able to find a deal during the holidays but Disney likes to keep their animated feature films at prime pricing.
