It prints with your receipt when at the register. At home tonight, I was...

my new coupon addiction…

Have you heard? I have a new hobby…. I am clipping the crap out of coupons! LOL I even bought some on ebay. I told Pat “if I don’t have a coupon for it .. I aint buying it” and well.. the pantry and fridge are really bare. ….. really bare. I guess I should have waited to make such a bold statement until I have more than handful of coupons huh?? I also print coupons online, order free samples, and download free stuff. Here are just a few examples of some great coupons that you can get. $1 off Cheerios ~ if you love you some cheerios, just join the...

save money, reduce waste and get hydrated man!

I have a disposable water brita filter on my faucet and it is blinking red.  Time to get a new one!   The faucet mounts are really handy, but boy do they get in the way when you have a small sink in an apartment.   I decided on a brita pitcher. Right now at Target the Brita Brest Cancer Awareness Pitcher is on sale for $25. (reg $30) and when you purchase you receive a free $5. gift card.   And if you take a pledge to help reduce water bottle waste Brita will give you a $5 coupon on a system and $1 coupon on a filter.  This is awesome,  plus Brita is donating $50,000 to City of...

Clipping coupons can be addicting!  In an effort to save a few bucks here and there, I came across some totally amazing things in the last week.  People out there are using coupons and getting there stuff for free or pennies on the dollar!  I thought…  hummmm  I want to get some free stuff!!  So my new addiction began…. My first coupon experience happened at Target.  I found this post at CouponCravings.com about how you can get 4 boxes of Kasha Cereal for free.  ok ….  that would be AWESOME!   I really didn’t think it would work..  I mean if I print a few...
