Halloween Fun and I Start a New Program for Little Grad
Date: October 25
LG Savings to date: $374.36
New this week: $14.03 (Football uniform for my mini-Micheal Vick from ESPNstore.com – 3%. The rest is coming from my family/friends’ online activity… wonder what they’ve been up to?)
I love Halloween! For months the little people in my household speculate, plan, and change their minds about what they want to dress up as. What a treat to see their little creative wheels spinning.
After great deliberation, Tyler, my 5 year old, has picked the Falcon’s speedy quarterback as the one NFL player he wanted to dress as. Why Micheal Vick? It has in large part to do with the uniform being red… ESPNshop.com has seriously cute mini uniforms.
Matthew, my 3 year old, at the last minute decided NOT to be a football player, and instead wanted to be a Little Einstein. I did a search for a costume that would enable this, and found it at Disney's online shop. He’s lucky it is so darn cute (it’s Rocket, and it has suspenders that go over his shoulder and you see the whole little crew in the windshield!) because the online Disney store is *not* yet a contributor to the Little Grad program, and its my personal policy to reward the retailers who do participate in college savings with my business! But… letting Matthew have his choice of costumes is, as they say in the credit card commecials, priceless. And I did get 25% off by waiting til this relatively late in the costume buying season. I’m quite lucky it didn’t sell out, as many costumes do.
(In case anyone is curious, I will *not* be wearing a costume as we trick or treat.. nothing inspired me… maybe next year!)
Amidst all this excitement in the homefront, my beloved company Little Grad rolled out our School Rewards program this week! Having been forced by various groups and schools to join fundraising programs which were offered by our competitors, I knew we could craft a better option. Little Grad's program lets parents continue to earn money from their online shopping AND raise money for the school at the same time.
We go out with press release next week about School Rewards and will try to raise awareness on the PTA websites for this new option. Being involved in crafting the strategy, execution and creative on this program has been awesome. If you get the chance, check it out at www.littlegrad.com/schoolrewards and tell me what you think.
Check in next week to hear about our trick or treating and Little Grad's move into the 'official' holiday shopping season!
