10-5-10

Heading to Walgreens & Meijers this morning.

------------------------------------

Trident just released a new gum coupon. “Like” them on Facebook, then click on the “Trident Layers” tab to print a $0.75/1 Trident Layers gum coupon. Trident gum often goes on sale for $0.99 or less, so this coupon should make for a sweet deal!

From Hip2Save

Just got 2 coupons printed and didn't have

to Like Trident on Facebook to get it.

Just in time to take to Meijers with me :0)

Double coupons means $1.50 off 1 pack

so should be really cheap or even free!

Will let you know how my shopping trips

turn out once I get back.

----------------------------------


I was telling mom yesterday how I cut back

on paper towels. I only buy a roll of paper towels

to have around to clean mirrors, house & car windows.

For everything else I have a laundry basket

under my kitchen sink full of rags for cleaning

and wiping up spills.

When we go out to eat we usually pick up one

too many napkins so I started saving the leftovers

in a zippered cosmetics bag in my purse

along with a small bottle of hand sanitizer.

When out and about and I need to wipe

a face, blow a nose or clean something then I just

grab those napkins I've been saving in my purse.

..---------------------------------------------

..----------------------------------


Tony calls me this morning saying he found

a pet for the kids. It was left in one of

the laundry rooms at the apartment complex.

I turned it down real quick and didn't want anything

to do with it. Just the thought of it made me

cringe and get goosebumps!

So do ya really wanna know what the

maintenance guys found??? huh huh???

Got goosebumps thinking about it!

Someone left a glass aquarium in one

of the laundry rooms with a TARANTULA SPIDER

in it!!

Could you imagine something like that getting

out in the night finding it's way to your bed

and crawling across your face or other body

parts, ahhhhhhhhh!!!

--------------------------------


Here is a tip I read on Dollar Stretcher

to cut back on your electric bill.

I think I have actually heard Oprah

talk about this on one of her shows

so yes it does work!!

Plug everything into those power strips

and when not in use flip the switch and

turn everything off like when you go to work

or go to bed.

Cut Your Electric Bill

Power strips. My house is equipped with them in every room. The kitchen toaster, can opener, microwave, coffee pot and telephone are plugged into them. They do not need to be on all the time, and it saves a great deal of energy that way. The television and DVD player are also on a power strip, so when it is not in use, it is not drawing energy. The bedrooms have power strips for the cell phone cords and there is nothing on during the day in the rooms. My electric bill went from $175 a month to $78 and less each month. I had a bill for $51 one month with everything turned off.

-----------------------------

This is a tip of mine:


When buying socks, buy all the same color

and same kind!!

You don't know how much easier it

is to match up when doing laundry.

Plus when the dryer eats your socks

and some start to disappear save

those extra socks to match up to the identical ones

you already have that might have lost its mate also.

Mom wants to go to Walmart tomorrow

to get some photos developed so I'm looking for

any Walmart deals.

I usually don't grocery shop at Walmart

because they don't double coupons but figured

since I was tagging along with mom I'd look

for el cheapo stuff or freebies.

I'll have to price things once I get there

to see if these deals will work.

Got this in my email today.

Was considering taking the kids to Ci Ci's Friday.

I was hoping to get the $3.99 buffet deal but after checking

their web site I see that ended Oct. 3rd.

Wonder if I can print 2 of these, have Tony

go through with him and 1 kid and use one coupon

and me go through with the other kid and the other coupon.

It says limit 1 coupon per customer.

Doesn't hurt to ask when I get there!

But now that I think about it you have to buy additional

drinks for an adult meal and kids meals drinks

are included. We could always order 2 drinks

and 2 waters, end up sharing the drinks.

Will have to price things when we get there.

You know not everyone has access to a microwave

while at work or school to heat their lunches in.

Thermos' are great for soups and such but

what if you wanted a hot sandwich?

I bought these SideShots Hot Pockets

for the kids lunches this week and was wondering

how they could eat them warm. I'm sure

they wouldn't taste too good cold!

So I got my creative mind a thinking.

I kept thinking about that pizza bag pizza delivery

guys use to deliver hot pizzas in so that was

what inspired this idea of mine.

I took some leftover fleece I had and sewed

it into a pocket then lined with some

aluminum foil.

Tomorrow morning I will warm up

those Hot Pockets and wrap with

additional aluminum foil and put

in these pouches in their lunch bags.

These little, what I'll call,

Sandwich Wraps,

will act as a heat insulator and keep

those little sandwiches warm til lunch time!

Whaddya think about my new invention? LOL!

.I might make a couple more big enough

for water bottles for their lunch to help

keep them colder!

Hey I think I'm onto something here!

Those little pouches would be good for

hot dogs, hamburgers, subs and so on.

Once I find some buttons I will make

it so you could fold the flap over.

You could also use aluminum tape

to line the insides of the pouch with.

FYI

IMPORTANT!!


Someone has hacked into my email account

earlier this morning and sent everyone on my list

emails from me. Don't open them!!

I did not send out any emails today!!

I am aware of this because it sent

an email to myself which showed

the rest of the emails it was also sent to.

The title said

"A Gift For Your Family"

If you're a friend or family member and are

on Facebook I will use that email for the time being

to send any emails.

I have changed my email password twice

and deleted and trashed and permanently deleted the

email again!

I got a red warning across my email from

Firefox saying there was an attempt

from China!!

This is why I love the Firefox browser

as it has all these features that go with it!


-------------------------------


I don't know if you have noticed some of the

things I have been buying from the store.

I have been slowly getting things for

Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.

This way I have them ahead of time

and get them little by little without being

overwhelmed with buying it all at the last

minute and having the large expense all at once.

This is what I have so far:

2 cans pumpkin,

6 cans sweet corn,

6 cans french cut green beans,

cream cheese,

have homemade noodles in the freezer,

and I already have a large turkey in the freezer!
