If ever you experience problems with the sales
ads called The Bag you can reach them at
TheBag.com

Also I would like to let you know that
the Columbus Dispatch is associated with The Bag
and will also address any situations you may have.

If you do not receive The Bag you can call
and request that they deliver it to your home.
From what I understand they do not deliver
to every home now unless requested.

I have noticed since having a new bag carrier
that we have not had any coupons in our bag.

Tony brought me home some of those bags from work
because I wanted more McDonald's coupons from them.
That's when I noticed they all had Smartsource coupons
in them! I was pissed and immediately wrote
a complaint email to The Bag!

Don't hesitate to complain to them!
I NEED MY COUPONS TO SURVIVE!
So heck yeah I'm gonna raise hell!

__________________________________________________


From what I have read KMart will be having a
Super Doubles event coming up April 4th.
What is super doubles?
They will double any manufacture coupon
up to $2.00.
For example if you have a $2.00 coupon
it would now become $4.00.

Will have to wait and see what the stipulations
may be. You may be only allowed so many coupons
and be required to spend a certain amount.
They seem to change the rules every time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAMIEN!! 20 YEARS OLD TODAY!!

Not too much going on today. Tony is home from
work not feeling good :-(
Mine and Tony's stomachs have both been churning
most of the day. Hope it clears up soon!
I'm tired of sickies!!


I stopped in a Dollar Tree today that
I hadn't been to.
This one had clothing!
I got me a black and pink fleece top
and a gray fleece jacket, NEW for .50 cents each!
I also got Jonathan a fleece Scooby Doo pullover
NEW for .50 cents!!





__________________________________________________

Stopped in Speedway today and snatched up some more
coupons. Speedway is a great place to score some
decent coupons you just have to search the store
to find them sitting out. Summer time I find
many, many coupons there so start to be on the look
out for them.

Here's a photo of my stash from Speedway.
The only coupon not in the photo is one
for .50 cents off a bag of SunChips.

I scored a bunch of $1.00 off Pepsi Max 20 ounce
coupons last month at Speedway. Just used
the last one today. That was an awesome deal!
(don't try the lime flavored Pepsi Max, that
was soooo gross!)
Usually they run 2 for $2.22. Then use two
$1.00 off coupons which made them .22 cents
for two 20 ounce bottles!!



__________________________________________________

Well I know it's early, only 8:45pm, and I am so ready
for bed. Gonna try to get my stomach to mellow out!
Wish I could figure out what is causing all this
so me and Tony could feel better!

3-8-10

I'm thinking Arby's or
am I thinking maybe a FREE breakfast and lunch!

Head on over to Waffle House to score
a free Biscuit & Sausage Gravy!
I printed these the other day and got one!
Now am printing another. We have
more than one Waffle House in the area.

In order to receive coupons in your email box
for Arbys you need to be an Arby's Extras member.
This week I got an email coupon good
for a free sandwich with a purchase
of a drink, any size.



Also be sure to check The Bag this week for
coupons for McDonalds. I'm going to try
to snatch up a bunch of those because they
don't expire until 12-31-10.
Those sure will come in handy this Summer!
They include:

(2) $1.99 Happy Meal with purchase

(2) Buy a Big Mac or Quarter Pounder with cheese
get the second for a penny.

(2) Buy any McCafe drink and get a Sausage McMuffin
with egg or Egg McMuffin sandwich FREE



__________________________________________________

In the Sunday Dispatch in the USA Weekend section
is an advertisement for Harbor Freight.
There is a coupon for a FREE LED flashlight.
I have a couple already and they are handy
to keep in a purse, glove box or drawer!



__________________________________________________

Whenever you stop in Speedway be sure to
snatch a few of these $1.00 off a pint
of Ben & Jerry's coupons. They go on sale
often at the grocery stores. So match
them up with a sale to get an excellent deal.
They don't expire until 6-1-10!

I have heard on TV that gas prices could go up
over $3.00 this Summer.
So we are in the process of possibly looking
into a scooter or motorcycle for Tony to go
back and forth to work. At the moment
He spends about $45 or more a week on gas to
go back and forth to work and to drive around
work. He drives roughly 15 to 20 miles a day for work
or up to 75 to 100 miles a week.
Lots of stopping and starting, braking
and idling time considering
city traffic and stop lights.
Plus he drives a huge Suburban.
So to look at the overall picture he's spending
$180 plus a month in gas. Before the gas hike!

This morning we have looked into a scooter,
a 2008 Roketa 250. We found a used one for $1,495.
The reviews I have read say this...
$5.38 to fill the tank @ $2.69 a gallon and it gets
60 to 100 miles per gallon!!
So that would mean you could get
120 to 200 miles per fill up of only 2 gallons.
It would really depend upon the weight of
the person riding it.
It has around a 2.2 gallon gas tank.
It will go 70-80 mph.

So for those looking for ways to cut back
with gas prices a scooter or motorcyle
is definately the way to go if you don't
have to haul kids around.

This is just a photo I found online
to show what a large adult would look
like on one of these scooters.



__________________________________________________

Sorry I have not posted much today.

We have been out motorcycle shopping
and I starting my Spring cleaning in the basement,
AHHHH scary place!!

And been trying to catch
up on all my laundry.

Which I would like to add a tip with saving on
detergent and fabric softener that I do.
Only use half the amount of detergent
or fabric softener.
Add water to the fabric softener
agitator or Downy ball.
It works just the same and clothes still come
out clean and smelling fresh.

__________________________________________________

Redplum has a few printable coupons.
One of which is for $1.00 off 2
Lifesaver Jelly Beans for Easter.
__________________________________________________

I am happy to say that I just paid my electric
bill the other day and it was $68.
I have growled numerous times
at kids about leaving tv's, lights and games
systems on when out of the room!!
Still working on getting it cut back even more.

Gas is running around $90 for the past month.
Not too bad, it could be much worse.
Temps have been in the single digits to 20's the past
month with our record snowfall of around 31 inches.
Wind chill has been in the minuses to teens for
February.

___________________________________________________

Today I was able to find a $1.00 off a pint of
Ben & Jerry's ice cream at Speedway
by the ice cream section.
Snatch them up and use them at your grocery store.
I've seen them go on sale so wait it out for
a much better deal. They don't expire til 6/1/10!

__________________________________________________

At the moment I am working on getting another
coupon book together for a friend. Gonna try to
teach them the ropes.

__________________________________________________

For about 13 years I have had this small bump
on the palm of my hand. I'd at times cut it
off with a razor blade but in time it would
eventually grow back. I just learned to live
with it as it did not affect anything I did.
At times it would itch and that's about it.

Tonight I was reading messages from a Yahoo group
about warts and I got to wondering if what was
on my palm might be a wart. I had a wart on my
thumb when I was younger and this did not look
like that.

But anyways I wanted to share with you what home
remedies you could use for removing warts.
There is a duct tape method you can google
because I don't remember what that one was.
I couldn't imagine trying to put duct tape on
my palm.
So the other two I read about was to apply
either super glue or clear nail polish on the
wart(s) up to two weeks or longer. They
are supposed to eventually smother the wart
and cause it to fall off or gradually flake off.
People who have tried it say it does not
grow back.
So tonight I am using the super glue method
to see if it works. Will let you know
how this works out.
