The Project - February

Well, February did not have the wonderful results that January did. However, I still got some pretty amazing coupons.

Pledge (S C Johnson Company) sent a coupon for a free Pledge product ($4.00 value)

I wrote 3 Con Agra companies:
Chefboyardee sent a $.50 coupon
Manwich also sent a $.50 coupon
Banquet Homestyle Bakes also sent a $.50 coupon.

Mt. Olive Pickles sent a $.75 coupon in response to my compliment and another $.75 coupon for signing up for their news letter.

Tyson sent 3 $1.00 coupons good off any Tyson product.

Blixtex sent 3 $.25 coupons.

Kellog's Pop Tarts is supposed to be sending coupons for signing up with them, however, I have not received any as of yet.

My other companies that were a bust this month inculde:
General Mills
Progresso
Hamburger Helper
Trix

Coty
Sally Henson
N.Y.C. Color

Other
Pepsi/Starbucks
Wrights Baccon (Tyson)
Mahatma Rice (Riviana)
Wishbone Salad Dressing (Unilever)
Scotch Bright (3M)
Sun Drop (Prescot Bottling)
Tostitos (Frito Lay)
Old Spice (Proctor and Gamble)
Lloyds BBQ (Hormel)
M&M's (Mars)
Juicy Juice (Nestle)
Egg Lands Best
Love My Eyes (Bali)
Bath and Body Works

While I did not do as well this month, I still racked up $10.75 in coupons, assuming none of the coupons are doubled (but they will be!!!)

It seems the trend is staying true that General Mills, Unilever and Proctor and Gamble companies do not send coupons when they recieve compliments.

S C Johnson and Con Agra definitely tend to send coupons.

Nestle, it appears to be a draw. Last month I wrote two of their companies and received coupons, this month I wrote one company and did not recieve any.

Happy Couponing!

    So when you send a letter or email to these companies, do you simply compliment them and hope they'll send coupons? Or do you ask for the coupons outright?

    I write them and give honest reviews of their products. Sometimes it is good, sometimes not so much. I am just very honest, but I never ask for coupons.

If I ignore it....

....will it go away? Today is just one of those days when everything hits me all at once: The stress of our situation and uncertainty of what is to come, the worries of money and how we will survive, and the feeling disconnected from the world. Day in and day out, I try to look at the bright side and hope and pray for the best. I do research to affirm where we stand and the likliness of a good outcome. I have thrown everything I have into finding ways to make and save money, telling myself it will make a difference. I never stop racking my brain. However, I never seem to shake the feeling of being disconnected from the world. My only social outlet is work, and being that, is limited. I seem to have very little in common with the people who are easily accessible to me outside of my family, and very little time for those with which I can relate. I crave something creative...to paint, photograph, write, but by the end of the night, when I alot my self some time, I am too mentally tired...

Easter Bunny Interview

The night the Easter Bunny was to visit our house, Zachary asked me: “Don’t you think the Easter Bunny is with Santa Clause and has Santa give him a ride on Easter?” Well you know, I don’t know. I remember asking Santa how he made it to all those houses in one night. I don’t think I’ve ever asked the Easter Bunny….anything! Now that Easter has come and gone, the Easter Bunny agreed to answer some essential questions. Me: “Do you live at the North Pole with Santa? EB: “No No, it is much too cold there for a bunny. I live in a hole in the ground.” Me: “Is this hole in the ground on Easter Island?” EB: “The location of my home is classified. Santa can give out his location since it is hard to travel to the North Pole, and the weather is frightful. My home is actually much more accessible and the weather is pretty nice.” Me: “Are you and Santa friends?” EB: “Oh yes! I am friends with the Tooth Fairy too!” Me: “How do you get all the candy for Easter?” EB: “Well, I started out making all t...

I'm a WOH! Mom

I am a WOH! (Work Outside the Home) Mom. I don’t have a choice. My Husband and I both have to work to afford a 1200 sq. ft. house in a small town 45 minutes out of Nashville. We both have to work to afford two older vehicles (2002 and 2003). We both have to work to pay the electric bill, water bill and car insurance. We don’t have cable or satellite, we don’t have internet and we don’t spend money eating out. Most months we barely get by. If one of us decided to stay home and we got rid of one vehicle, we could only afford to pay $200.00 in rent. We would still make too much to qualify for any kind of state or federal assistance. So we both work. But, if I had the choice, I would still be a WOH! Mom. Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to not HAVE to work, but I would still work. I would still send my daughter to preschool five days a week. For me, Preschool is a God-send. The group of teachers at her preschool are brave. They let the one year olds finger paint!! Preschool has taught my d...
