Free Movie Offer

If you use disposable razors, here's a deal for you.  Buy two specially marked Schick razor packs, enter the codes online, and get a free movie ticket from Fandango worth up to $14.50.  Woo!  I think you can use it to see any movie, even though the promotion is for Spider Man.  Check it out HERE.

Good food

So I said the other day that I would post pics of our meals. I was especially proud of Sunday's dinner. 'Twas a super fancy homemade salad with greens, all kinds of peppers, mushrooms, almonds, craisins, cheese, and cut up baby carrots. Oh and a raspberry vinegarette dressing. Yum. Yesterday's lunch was fish and red taters, also tasty. I used Mrs. Dash Italian seasoning for both. Yum. It is so easy to cook at home. And cheaper, too. Just gotta get in the habit!

LivingSocial good deals

Here are two great deals I see on LivingSocial at the moment.  One is $15 for a one year subscription for a number of Disney Magazines.  Click HERE to grab this deal.  The other one is pay $25 for $50 worth of products at glutn-freely.com.  That's a 50% discount. :-)  Click HERE to snatch up that deal.  Both of these are too good to miss!  Happy deal seeking!

Slackin

OK so once again I am slacking on my blog posting.  You should know that I am in no way an "extreme couponer".  I do not have a stockpile, and I tend to only get the deals which I know we need or will use.  I have on occasion bought extra things for the purpose of donating or giving away, but for the most part I try to be a "practical couponer".  That being said, most of the time my coupons save me an average of 15-20% on trips to the store.  Not super impressive, but I'm usually not willing to make a bunch of extra trips for the purpose of getting something for "free".  In my eyes, after you do all that driving, with the price of gas, it's not very "free" after all. 

I also hope that in addition to sharing good deals with you all on this blog, that I can share a little bit about how we choose to live frugally.  For example, we did some shopping last weekend and stocked up on groceries.  Our goal is to keep from eating out for a whole week.  I plan to post pics of our meals, but will do that later.

If you have any comments/thoughts/suggestions, please feel free to contact me.  Happy saving!

Morning Shopping

I haven't been able to post much today, because I was sent on a morning shopping adventure.  Woo!  Best part of the trip?  Got at $40 dress at Penney's for just $15 thanks to a gift card I got for participating in a chat for JCP Insiders.  Woo!  Check out the map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=205419503987450117730.0004c676aaf8b8eb1e05e.  I'll have to post pics of the dress.  I mean, if you're interested.  Are you interested?  :-)  Also stocked up on bread and other groceries.  Exhausting morning, but not bad since the hubby stayed home with the kids (score).  Add a stop to Chick Fil-A for lunch to refuel and I'd say it wasn't bad at all!  (go ahead, debate about Chick Fil-A...I dare you).

Diamond Candles

I just purchased this great deal from LivingSocial.  I've been hearing a lot about Diamond Candles from my fellow bloggers, and they seem to be a big deal.  I guess it is because they are made of soy, they smell good, and there is a diamond ring inside.  That ring could be worth anywhere from $10 to $5,000.  I don't know what I'd do if I got a ring worth $5K...maybe try to sell it?  But in any event, if you want to purchase a diamond candle for yourself, go to this link: https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/404170?ref=conf-jp&rpi=74516558.  Thanks!
