Coupon Mania

My current obsession is coupons, therefor I will probably blog about them regularly. This post will be more of a list of where to get coupons (besides the Sunday paper) and where to not waste your time and energy.


Great Places to pick up printable coupons!

Coupons.com is possibly the best known place to pick up printable coupons. They have coupons for everything, and from what I can tell, the coupons are very similar to the ones you find in your Sunday paper. However, to print the coupons you have to download some kind of software. Since I do not have a printer at home and have to use public ones, I can't and therefor cannot print these.

Check out Purity Lovers for great coupons on Purity products. They change their coupons monthly, but currently you can get coupons for $1 off a gallon of milk and $1 off sour cream and more. Their coupons are in adobe, so no software to download (assuming you already have the reader)

At Wish Bone you can print a $.50 coupon off salad dressing. If you use the coupon at Kroger, it doubles to make it $1 off.

Campbells has four printable coupons for $1 off when you buy 2 or 3 of certain products. These are better than what you typically find in the Sunday paper.

Welchshas a coupon for $1 off 2 refrigerated juices.

You have to sign up at Betty Crocker but there is over $12 worth of coupons for the taking. They change their coupons monthly. Many of these coupons can also be found at Coupons.com

You also have to sign up at Pillsbury but they have over $15 worth of printable coupons, many of which can also be found on Coupons.com

Birds Eye has a $1 off 2 Viola meals and $1 off 4 bags of frozen Vegtables.

At Johnson & Johnson there are many great offers and coupons including $1 off Desitin and $1 off Shampoo.

If your looking for coupons for over the counter medications, check valuesforhealth.com They have $1 off coupons for Tylenol and Motrin,adult and childrens! They update the offers fairly often, so keep checking.


Contact these companies to receive awesome coupons by mail!

I had luck with Johnson & Johnsons. I simply asked them to send coupons I received 3 $1 off coupons for any Johnson and Johnson family product about 2 weeks later. I am unsure how often they will honor coupon requests.

I contacted Birds Eye and also received 3 $1 off coupons for viola meals. It is their policy to only send coupons once.

Purina will honor coupon requests every 4-6 weeks. I was sent 2 $2 off any pet food coupons with in two weeks of my request.

I contacted Welchs and received 3 $.50 coupons for any Welchs products.

Wish Bone will send a token of appreciation when you contact them about their products. I received a recipie book and coupons for many Unilever brands including $1 off Hellmans, $1 off Dove and ofcourse $1 off Wish Bone salad dressing. There were 12 coupons total that do not expire until Febuary of 2011.

I had already signed up at Huggies and had been receiving coupons about 4 times a year through the mail. However, they had started sending me pull ups coupons and my daughter still is in diapers, so I asked them to send me diaper coupons again. I received a one-time mailing of coupons that included 4 $1 off any Huggies brand products.

If you are a new mom who uses formula, you also need to sign up with Similac. They send coupons and samples quarterly until the childs first birthday.

Last, but certainly not least, Proctor and Gamble allows you to request samples and coupons once each quarter. You can pick the samples and coupons you want, and they will be delivered in about 4 weeks. The new quarter just started April 1 and I am loving that they offer a free sample of cascade and 2 great coupons for Tide!

While the above brands have some great offers, others do not.
Here is my "don't waste your time" list:
Campbells-corporate policy to not mail coupons
Con-Agra Foods (Chef Boyardee, Hunts, etc)-corporate policy to not mail coupons
Playtex-signed up online and never received any correspondance
Dr.Pepper/Snapple Brand- Received email that did not address my request
Suave- signed up online nad never received any correspondance
Kraft- corporate policy to not mail coupons
Knorr- corporate policy to not mail coupons

Happy savings to all the coupon-ers!

Carnival Cruise Tips for Families

Our family just returned from an 8 day cruise on the Carnival Horizon. While I and my husband have cruised before (many years ago), this was our first cruise with the kids and it was different. I have several friends that are planning or wanting to go on a cruise, so I thought I would write a little bit about our experience, in hopes that it will help someone else with their planning.  If their is interest in any certain area, I will gladly make another post that goes more in depth on that subject. BEFORE YOU GO 1. Unless you live in Florida (or near another port) and don't mind taking a 3 day cruise on the fly, book well in advance. The fairs are cheaper, you have longer to pay and you will have your pick of dining times and excursions. You can also just pay the deposit now and have until 90-75 days before your cruise to finish paying it off. 2. Social Media is your friend. Go ahead and find out who your cruise director will be and follow him on social media. He/She wi

6 Ways to Love on.....Everyone. And a rebuttal.

I don't normally post religious things.  I find my own personal take on religion to be.....quirky at time.  However, I recently saw an article floating around the web that was written by what I assume is a 20 something single lady.  It was how she felt single women need to be loved on by married persons in a church congregation.  You can read it here . I found parts of the article to be sound theory and spot on, while other parts were, shall we say misguided.  By the end of the article, I was also thinking, why are there so many separate "groups" in a church and how we all need to be loved on, not just one group.  So here is my humble rebuttal (based on my life and experiences) and also a simple blue print on how you can love on anyone in your church congregation....or anyone in the world. In response to “Six ways to Love Single Women:"               1.   Words are hurtful.  People should choose their words carefully, I agree.  God has many reasons for not

My Breaking Point

I have been meaning to write for a while. I have planned posts, but never got around to actually writing them. I had planned to write a post about coupons. I have become a bit of a coupon nut. I had planned to write about my first bike ride since I was twelve, and how sore and out of shape I have apparently become. I had planned to write about how my sweet, innocent two year old is now throwing tantrums about everything, including that Mommy isn't holding the sippy cup exactly right! I had planned to write how suddenly my toddler refuses to sleep, especially in her own bed. And about my hours of research and theories, just incase there are any other parents out there who are experiencing a similar situation. However, after about three hours of sleep (since that is all my sweet and innocent toddler thinks she needs these days), realizing that I am way behind at work and I just CANNOT catch up, and just finding out the me and my hubby will each be loosing part of our life insurance,
