Free Customized Trick-or-Treat Bag!

Vistaprint is offering a FREE customizeable tote bag! I've ordered these before and they were high quality with clear printing. I gave them as gifts to friends, who loved them.


Vistaprint currently has styles including Holiday bags just in time for Halloween! An awesome idea for a personalized trick or treat bag. ONLY pay for shipping!


Click HERE to get started on yours. Once you are on their site, scroll all the way down until you see the tote bags on the bottom left. Click on the bags, then on the next page, click on the drop down menu and choose Holiday, and you will be able to choose from various Halloween themed totes. Shipping is usually less than $5.


Tip: you can order one of each type of free item and ship them together to save on shipping. If you want more than one of an item, however, click on the link two separate times and ship them separately. Shipping will be slightly higher for two separate shipments, but you won't have to pay for the second item.


Also on this page were business cards, t-shirts, mouse pads, mugs, invitations, notecards, and several more...all FREE!


Thanks for the great idea, Frugal Fanatic!
