Groupon: Site for Getting Group Rates Individually!


Groupon's site is really neat.  This site usually only works for big cities.  It uses collective buying power as it states translating that means you get group rates if there enough people interested in the deal.

It’s FREE to sign up with Groupon and then you can select a city. There will be a deal each day that gives a deep discount on something.

FREE Insulated Freezer Bag from Sam’s Club


Be one of the first 30,000 people to fill out the form, and you’ll get a FREE insulated freezer bag from Sam’s Club! These are awesome for when the weather is warmer and you buy frozen items. You don’t need a Sam’s Club membership number to request your bag.

I'm so happy to see this freebie. I almost bought one the other day because I was going to do some more shopping after the grocery store and didn't want my yogurt to go bad.

RED HOT SALE
Sunday - Tuesday only 1/31-2/2

I usually only shop Homeland for their sales because they only allow 1 like coupon per transaction making it difficult.  But, there are certain items I can't pass up, usually Juicy Juice boxes and Coffeemate.

Pink Poodle Party For a Little Girl!

I love parties and all the decorating that goes with them, but it does get time consuming locating all the unique pieces I like to incorpate into the party itself.  Go over here and check out this pink poodle party from Pink, Green, & Southern.  She has so many frugal ideas for throwing a party.  This frugal idea is my favorite:
She ordered a plain pink two tier cake from the grocery store then added her own ribbon and feather embellishments and a mirrored “K” embellished with rhinestone polka dots.

I've been known to go way over board with the cake budget, but this really is cute and one that I would do.

Candy Cane Heart




Do you have any mini candy canes left over from Christmas?  If you do then I will tell you how to create a heart shaped candy cane sucker. 

You will need mini candy canes.  I bought mine at Target for 49¢.  Then you will need lollipop sticks.  You can buy these at Michael's and use a 40% off coupon you can get out of the Sunday paper.  The cellophane bags are optional to wrap them in.  I'm using them because I already had them.

Preheat oven to 275 degrees then bake candy canes for 7-9 minutes.  Take out of oven then place a lollipop stick in the candy cane.  The candy canes are hot but you can still carefully mold them around the stick.  I'm a perfectionist so, I want it to look perfect.  If you don't care if it's perfect then you can bake at a higher temperature and get more done. 

I usually only do three at a time because they are not that hot and they cool quickly making them harder to shape.

After price match and coupon .50¢/each

*Note: One Walmart did tell me that they do not price match Big Lots because it is a closeout store.   So, I will not be price matching Big Lots again.  I went ahead and did it this time because I had already purchased the coupons from Ebay.

Frugal Family Reunion Favor Idea


(Photo courtesy of Marthastewart.com)

First off, I love Martha Stewart.  I'm completely captivated by the crafts she comes up with.  On her show she had these cute tiny mint boxes with personalized covers. I thought these would be great for a family reunion favor. 

You can download the clipart for "I Love My Family" here and resize it to fit a store bought mint box.  I think tic tacs would work great but, haven't tried this myself.  You can resize the picture I'm sure to fit any size mints or gum box that you like in photo editing software such as photoshop or gimp.

These would be really inexpensive and cute to make if you have an upcoming family reunion.

Would you like to earn a little side money taking surveys? Pinecone Research is once again open here for new registrations! But hurry, it will close up fast.

This is my FAVORITE survey company.  They pay $3 for every survey and you can deposit it directly into your paypal account.  I love it!  You don't have to request money they just deposit it after you have finished your survey.  I use my survey money to buy my coupons off of ebay with.  This way I'm technically not paying anything for them.

Parent Insight Network - Baby/Child Product Testing

Parents Insight Network is recruiting new members for some upcoming research. Do you have children under the age of 8 or are you pregnant?  Click here to sign up.

What is Parent Insight Network?

Parent Insight Network has baby product and service companies that are interested in having parents test products for short durations of time and give their feedback, or participate in interviews and focus groups on a variety of topics. This consumer service is incredibly valuable to these companies and they incentivize consumers for their time and ideas. The companies that I work with love to generate ideas with the help of consumers. Creative parents can make a real difference in improving the products and services that are available, simply through communicating during key decision points for the companies that we keep in business.

Super *Hot* Deal on All Laundry Detergent


Starting tomorrow at Big Lots, All Laundry Detergent will be on sale 2/$5. There are coupons available from the 01/03 RP insert for $2/1 detergent 32 oz or higher. Don't have a Big Lots close by? Walmart and Target both price match so using this coupon will get you laundry detergent for 50¢ a bottle! This is a deal I will be stocking up on.  I'm usually a brand snob (Tide) when it comes to detergent but, for this price I will buy the All and then go back to Tide after it runs out.

When I stockpile something I buy my coupons from Ebay because I'm not the type of couponer that buys multiple papers.  It just doesn't pay for me to do that. So I was able to get 20 coupons for right at $3.98 w/shipping. So, using this coupon and the price I paid for them, I will get 20 bottles for 70¢ each.

No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe


Photo courtesy of: womansday.com

I'm on a diet but, I couldn't help but see this mouth watering no-bake strawberry cheesecake recipe from Woman's Day magazine May 10, 2005.  It's supposed to be low-fat........wonderful but if you look at the nutrition facts it says, yields 1 cheesecake.  I get so frustrated when it doesn't specify what a serving size is.  Am I supposed to assume that a serving size is a whole cheesecake.  Yes, I know that's not what it means but a girl can dream, right? 

Anyhoo, I love cheesecake and this sounds like a delicious one that I wanted to share. 

Nutrition Facts:
Yield 1 cheesecake

6 whole lowfat honey graham crackers (2‑squares each), crushed to fine crumbs

2⁄3 cup boiling water
1 tub (16 oz) 1% fat cottage cheese
2 bricks (8 oz each) fat-free cream cheese, softened

1 pt (about 12 oz) fresh strawberries
2 Tbsp strawberry jelly, melted

3. Filling: Dissolve gelatin in boiling water in a 1-cup measure. Purée cottage cheese in food processor until creamy. Add gelatin, cream cheese, sugar and extract; process until smooth. Pour into prepared crust; smooth top. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours, or until set.

4. Topping: Wash and dry berries; remove stems. Quarter each lengthwise and place in a bowl; add jelly and gently toss to coat. Remove sides of springform pan; place cheesecake on serving plate. Spoon on berry mixture; sprinkle with mint leaves.

Planning Tip: Can be made, without the strawberry topping, up to 3 days ahead. Refrigerate covered. Prepare Topping just before serving.
