FREE Super Saver Shipping changes to orders of $35 +

WOW!  I’ve got to say, I’m really surprised at this and didn’t see this coming at all.

Amazon just changed it’s Super Saver shipping from a $25 minimum to $35 minimum purchase. For as long as I can remember it’s been $25.  Here’s what Amazon had to say about it:

“This is the first time in more than a decade that Amazon has altered the minimum order for free shipping in the US. During that time, we have expanded free shipping selection by millions of items across all 40 product categories. Look for “FREE Shipping” on product pages to discover eligible items.”

If you would still like to get a deal on Amazon shipping you may be interested in Amazon Prime.  With an Amazon Prime membership, you’ll get to ship items for FREE with no minimum.  Best of all, you can sign up for a FREE 30-day trial of Amazon Prime membership that allows you to ship items with no minimum. You are welcome to cancel the trial at anytime before the trial is up. But if you continue the Prime membership after the trial it’s $79 a year.

Amazon Prime includes:

  • FREE Two-Day Shipping on millions of items
  • No minimum order size
  • Unlimited instant streaming of thousands of movies and TV shows with Prime Instant Video
  • A Kindle book to borrow for free each month from the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library



Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern ~ Review

by 3 Comments

rusty bucket resataurant review
A few weeks ago I shared how kids can earn a free meal through Rusty Bucket’s Bucketeer Bookworm Reading Program.   As a mom of three, I love that this program not only gives kids an incentive for reading but it also saves families money!  Recently, my two oldest boys completed and filled out  their own Bucketeer Bookworm  bookmark so we were all excited to head over to the Rusty Bucket Restaurant to check it out.

While there are several locations throughout Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan, the closest Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern in northeast Ohio is in Solon, Ohio.  It was only a 40 minute drive from our home and since it is right off the highway, it was very easy to find.  As soon as we walked in, we felt right at home in this cozy, newly remodeled restaurant.  The decor was gorgeous with dark wood paneling and a beautiful stone fireplace.   They also had several seats choices including booths and tables.  If you’re hosting a party, I noticed that the Solon location boasts a private room which will accommodate up to 24 people.

As we were walking to our table my hubby was excited to see that the restaurant had several TV’s located throughout the restaurant.  Once we sat, he was ecstatic to see the large, and I mean large TV, right near our table.   We were sat at a large booth that easily fit our family of five and was very comfortable.   Since this was our first visit, we  couldn’t wait to check out the menu.  Before ordering, keep in mind that The Rusty Bucket offers daily drink and Blue Plate specials that are available all day.

The Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern offers your traditional American pub food but there is a wide variety on the menu.  Our helpful server, described his Rusty Bucket favorites and gave us a variety of things to choose from.  I loved that he was very knowledgeable about the menu and had tried the food himself.

We ordered an appetizer of chipotle flavored wings to start off.  For lunch, two of my kiddos opted for the pizza while the third ordered the mac and cheese.  On the waiter’s suggestion, my hubby ordered the fish and chips while I on the other hand was a little more difficult.  Since I am on a weight loss journey, I made a few changes to one of their salads but was super happy that our waiter didn’t even bat an eye at my request.

The food was fabulous!  So good in fact that my hubby was half way through is fish and chips before I could even get a picture!  My boys said that the pizza was the best they had and after sampling a bite myself, I could see why.  The pizza was not your typical kids pizza but tasted freshly made.  My salad was out of this world with grilled chicken tossed in their Joe’s Regular medium buffalo sauce with black beans, corn, tomatoes, and tortilla strips (don’t worry, I didn’t eat many of those).  Best of all, they even had fat free dressing!

The Rusty Bucket Restaurant’s prices were typical for a sports bar and I thought very fair for what we ordered.  Since two of my kids meals were free, I thought we got a great deal!  We will definitely be back again!
