Freebies

Head over to couponcravings.com for a bunch of great freebies including Axe shower gel (which The Big One calls his "man soap" and uses all the time!), Burt's Bees Toothpaste, and Purex 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets. I love getting good stuff in the mail!!

Free Pizza!

Go here to get a coupon for a free DiGiorno 200 Calorie Pizza. They are usually around $3 so it's a decent coupon. They will mail it to you in 6-8 weeks!

Publix makes me happy

Publix

Total: $150.09

Total I Spent: $65.78

Total Saved: $84.31

     I absolutely love going to the grocery. Behind me in line was a young guy who was buying beer and steaks. He said, "That's alot of coupons." I said, "Yeah, but look, I've already saved $80." When the cashier was done and told me my total savings, Mr. Beer and Steak said, "Wow, that's amazing." I gives me such joy to know that people notice and appreciate what I do for my family.

     It's such an incredible change from a year ago when I would cry on my way home from the grocery because I had no idea how I would feed my family on the pathetic amount of food I could afford. Now, I open the refrigerator and cabinets just to bask in the glow of the volume AND quality of food we have on hand on any given day. I am forever grateful for the friends who have helped me learn how to do this and to my husband for supporting the fact that we never have the same stuff in the house. My life and the lives of my family has been forever changed because of coupons.

ANOTHER Super Bowl Giveaway

Go to Crofter's Organic Facebook page and post your prediction on who will win the Super Bowl. Everyone who picks the winning team will get a free jar of one of their jams or spreads. You can also Tweet your prediction. I'm rooting for the Saints because I want my free hot sauce!

Free $10 Darden Restaurants gift card

All through the month of February, Florida Blood Centers are giving everyone who donates blood a $10 gift card for Darden restaurants,which can be used at any Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Bahama Breeze. I gave blood in October, on a bus, with my 4 year old in tow. If I can do it, you can, too!!

There is currently an urgent need for type A- blood. All types are welcome, however, because they are shipping blood to Haiti.

Free Hot Sauce

Become a fan of Louisiana Hot Sauce on Facebook before Sunday, register your address (under the "Free Gold" tab), and they will give all of their fans a bottle of Louisiana Gold if the New Orleans Saints win the Super Bowl.

I don't usually watch the Super Bowl but now I have two reasons. I can get free pants and free hot sauce!

Good luck, Saints!!!

Free Diabetes Testing - DO IT!

Thanks to Oprah, from February 5-18, Walgreens is offering Diabetes Wellness Events with free blood glucose testing. Go to walgreens.com/diabetes to find out when the event will be in your area. You can also call 1-800-Walgreens because you may be able to get the testing done at your convenience through the Take Care Clinic found in most Walgreens stores. This is such a simple and quick way to check for something that can be prevented or controlled with proper diet and exercise. I will be going because diabetes (along with heart conditions and obesity, which don't help the issue) is highly prevalent in my family. Diabetes is not discerning and regardless of how young you feel, you should still get tested. I am going to ask my dad and husband to come with me because they are both at risk due to genetics. It's worth the few minutes to possibly save a life (yours or someone you love.)
