Hey all!
My friend Rosa suggested the site dealspl.us and I checked it our last night. I mostly checked out the Freebie tab. But I came across this link to a coupon for a Free Sample of Phenom Coconut Water. It's good at GNC.
I don't know if you know the benefits of coconut water but there are a lot! I found this site if you want to read up on it: http://www.coconutwaterlife.com/coconut-water-benefits
But before you go out and buy a case of the stuff, find out if you even like it. Enjoy the drink and the coupon!

Free Brow Service on your birthday with Benefit Cosmetics!
Today I had a fun filled day with my cousins, Stephanie and Michelle. At one part of the day we ended up looking around at Macy's and was browsing around the Benefit cosmetics counter.
By nature, our family is thrifty! We all share the same passion for a deal and FREE stuff. So my cousin Michelle spotted a sign that said Free Brow service on your birthday. She said "hey Tina, you should do this for your birthday." The associate was very friendly and nice and asked when my birthday was. So she took my name, number, and birth date. She said that someone would call before my birthday to set up an appointment for my free brow service.
Just wanted to share with you all that have a birthday coming up! Check it out and if you want a free brow service, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

starting to coupon...
Have you seen the show Extreme Couponing on TLC? I started to watch it and thought, Wow! I'm lagging in saving some serious money!
If you haven't seen it, it is a about people who uses coupons to make a grocery shopping trip that would retail for over $1,000 or more and with coupons only pay like $30 out the door. Crazy right?
So I thought ok, I'll give it a try. I love finding deals and if I could do that it would be awesome! What I learned was that the reason they have stock piles is in order to get it down you have to buy lots of items. Well, I live in a apartment and do not have an extra room, attic, basement, or garage to store all that stuff. So it doesn't make sense for me to create a stock pile like the people in the show.
But it doesn't mean that couponing isn't worth doing on a smaller scale. 50 cents save is still 50cents. $1.00 off is still a $1.00 in your pocket. I created a email account JUST for couponing. When you sign up for these coupon sites and stores and manufactures they always require a email. I didn't want my regular email and blackberry blowing up with coupons and recipes. So it's just for couponing. Which keeps it organized for me.
My friend Janette, who is a stater extreme couponer, directed me to the site hip2save.com It's pretty awesome. I also liked it on Facebook. Since I check my facebook more often then my email, I get updates from them through out the day and can check on my computer for the deals I really like.
Also signing up at the stores you shop the most and the products you use the most helps you save. I love targets coupon page. You can pick and choose which ones you like and they print them all on one page.
Of course your Sunday paper is where you can find all the good coupons too. I also check the Tuesday ones since Save Mart and Safeway send out their own coupons in those circulatory.
Like I said, I'm a beginning couponer, but I think every little bit helps. Would love to hear your tips and ideas on couponing too!
Happy Clipping!

And so it begins...
I've been thinking about doing a blog about my deal findings and coupons and just everyday mom and wife stuff. To me being thrifty isn't a bad thing, it's a good thing. When I find a great deal it's like winning a contest for me.
So let me introduce myself, I'm a wife of almost 9 years, a mommy of a 2 year old and I stay at home with my son. Like a lot of parents, we had to make the decision for me to stay home or put our son into full time day care and have a big sum of money go to daycare. We decided for our family it was better for me to stay home. Now, with having only one income coming in, I felt like it was my job to find ways to save our family money.
For a lot of people bigger and newer is better. For me, cheaper is good, free is better! I was raised to find the deals and enjoy the simpler stuff in life. And now its transferred over to my family. I always check the clearance section first (usually in the back of the store) and if it's not on sale, it will be. I've just recently started to coupon. I find it fun and see that almost anything you want you can find a coupon for.
This blog is targeted for mom's, but even for people who like to find a good deal. I'll share what deals I find, coupons, recipes, activities for families, and anything else I think that would be good for mom's to know.
I hope you enjoy and I welcome any ideas that you would like to share.
God Bless!
