Saturday, October 31, 2009, you can stop by any Mardel store to get up to 50 feet of free laminating done. No purchase is necessary. As always, I recommend calling your stores ahead of time to verify they are participating in this promotion.
Oh how I wish we had one of these stores close by as I lots of homeschool materials I'd love to have laminated.
Thanks, Freebies 4 Mom!

Wow! Agreed, wish we had one near us for all the homeschool stuff too!
Wow, wish I had one here too!
Instead of paying to have things laminated, I buy a roll of clear conact paper at Walmart (it’s about $5). I use that for anything I need laminated. It’s not quite as stiff (or shiny) as laminating, but it’s really inexpensive, and you can do a LOT of items with it! I use it to cover chores in chore packs, cover paper bookmarks that the children make, etc. I don’t lamaniate our homeschool materials, but you can use it for those, too!
Crystal, that post I just made should read “Contact” paper. I left out the “t”.
Actually, Crystal, if you’ve ever been to Mardel, you wish you had one nearby. Mardel is a Christian book and music store. They carry an excellent selection of Bibles, Christian books, Christian music, and best of all, a huge selection of educational items for homeschoolers and Christian school teachers. I love Mardel and I always make a trip when I’m back in my hometown. sigh. So, if you live near a Mardel and haven’t yet visited, you really ought to!
i know this may not be super frugal but i got a laminating machine that is no fuss (no heat, no electricity, no batteries) from a craft store, because they have 40 and 50% coupons regularly that can be used on the machine AND the refills. i posted about it here.

I also have my own laminating machine. I have the 3M DL951 model and love it. This was a splurge for sure, but worth it for us. Kind of like some people and their bread machines – a splurge up front, but a loved item in the house! I keep about 5 school projects, etc per year for each child. They don’t even know I have these things and one day, I’ll present these keepsakes. This way I don’t overdo what we keep, but also have some childhood treasures that won’t get spoiled. I use it frugaly and love that I have it on hand!
Walmart has individual laminating machines in the office section of the store. I’ve found them on the bottom shelf, they are about $25 each. You have to buy the sheets individually. It laminates paper size and below. I’ve enjoyed using it and it was a good investment for me as a teacher and mom.
On the Mardel note- I miss it, it was the best Christian bookstore and teacher store that I’ve ever been too. The man that owns Mardel’s father is the man who owns Hobby Lobby.
