$10 Playskool Busy Basics Walk N' Ride


Join Upromise! 

Disclaimer: I receive a referral commission for the following link(s):  Upromise, Top Cashback and Ebates

The Walk N' Ride is normally $20 so it is half price now.  Free site to store shipping.





Start your shopping at Upromise and get an additional 5% cashback

I don't normally promote Upromise for a couple of reasons:

  • They usually don't have very good rates
  • You are saving for college for someone else so you probably won't see that money for a long time.
I've been on Upromise since 2008 and I've earned less than $16 with them.  All of that was probably in the first year when I didn't know any better.  Compare that to Top Cashback where I've earned over $100 since January. That being said, Upromise does have value for some purchases, like this one.


In our case, however, the next best shopping portal is at 1.5% and I've never even used that one (Savings Watch - 1 star rating at Cashbackholic).  If fact, my K9 internet filter (free internet filter) doesn't let me even get to their site because of spyware/malware suspicions so go there at your own risk.



If you really don't want to use Upromose, you can use Ebates, but you will only get 1% instead of 5%.

Free Internet Filter and "Freedom" from the Internet

Filters are a great to control who is using your internet, when they are using it and what they are allowed to see when they are on the internet.  Whether you are using it for your children, a public work station or for yourself (give someone else the password) to make sure that you aren't using the internet too much or during certain times of the day, there are many filters that will work you.


There are some great internet filters out there and some are free.  The one that usually gets very good reviews is K9.  K9 is free both for Windows and Macs.  The other good ones are netnanny and safe eyes but those cost money.  Always do your research before you buy any of them to see if there is a feature that you need that only some filters have.

The downside of a filter for yourself is that if you need the internet and you have blocked it you will not be able to get on.  There is a solution to this:  Freedom


If you are having trouble with your internet usage you might want to check out Freedom, which works for both Windows and Macs.  I have this program and I find it very useful.  You tell them how long you want to not be able to go on the internet and then you will not be able to go on the internet for that time period.  In the event of something urgent, you can always restart your computer and get back on the internet.  I have used this many times when I should be starting and I find myself surfing or blogging.  The only downside is that it used to be free but now costs $10 but if you are someone who does have trouble controlling your internet time I think it is a wise investment.
