Saving Money Is A CINCH!

How many of you out there use coupons? Are any of you extreme couponers...meaning you go to the store and walk out with three cart loads of groceries that only cost you $23.99? I am nowhere near that accomplishment but I do clip coupons. Someday I might be like that though...as our family grows, so will our grocery bill!! I grew up in a home where my parents had six children to raise. On Sunday afternoons, my mom could always be found going through the Sunday paper coupon inserts and clipping coupons. She was adamant about saving money and boy was she good at it!

Now that I am a mother myself, I know the importance of saving money. My husband has a good job and we are not hurting for money. However, I still think it is important to be frugal and try to be judicious with our money. We currently have two children in diapers and believe me, diapers can be SO expensive! So, out of necessity, I have become a coupon-clipper. Most of my coupons come from newspaper inserts, but I am also able to find some really great online coupons and discounts.
Saving money doesn't just occur at the grocery store or Walmart. You can also find ways to save money at amusement parks, restaurants and hotels. With vacation season here, finding extra savings can really help to make your vacation more enjoyable because you don't have to worry about breaking the bank and having to scrimp and save when you get home.

Many times, before our family goes out to eat we will look online for coupons for whichever restaurant we are going to. There are some really great coupons out there that can be found if you just take a quick peek. If you are looking for a good resource on which you can find coupon codes, be sure to check out PromotionCode.org as they have loads of discounts listed.

So what about you? Where do you go to print coupons and save money? Leave me a comment and let me know...I always like to find new resources for my coupon-clipping fingers. :)

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
