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.

How do you wear high heels, everyday?

I'm a pretty low maintenance girl.  I am happy in my flip flops, jeans and tennis shoes.  However, sometimes that girly side of me kicks in and I want to wear a cute pair of shoes.  Many times, this cute pair of shoes involve high heels. After wearing the cute shoes for a few hours, I'm left wondering ladies...HOW DO YOU WEAR HIGH HEELS ALMOST EVERY DAY? Seriously. I got a new pair of boots for Christmas with a modest heel.  They fit perfect and are super cute.  I wore them to work for the first time the other day and came home with huge blisters on the ball of my feet.  Now I don't have a job that requires a lot of standing and walking. I walk from my car to the office. From my desk to the break room or bathroom and back (2 or 3 times per day) and then back to my car at the end of the day.  And yet, by the time I was hobbling (yes it hurt so bad I was actually hobbling). Yáll is was below freezing outside and I was actually contemplating taki...

Frugal Friday -- Grocery Tips

Last night, I did our grocery shopping and spent just over $100 on two weeks worth of groceries!!! Yeah, I am a little proud. =) So to stroke my own ego, I am going to post my top 10 grocery buying tips. I really do hope you find some of them useful. 1. Try the store brand at least once, on everything. We have found that most store brand canned vegetables are great, except green beans. Store brand green beans suck. But, try the store brand atleast once, on every product that you buy. Most of the time we are pleasantly suprised (some are even better than the national brand!) 2. Pay attention to how much things cost, otherwise how will you know when it is *really* on sale. I have found more than one store that advertises some thing "on sale" and it really hasn't been marked down at all. 3. Pay attention to how much you actually use/need/eat. If our family will only eat half of a dish, then we have the leftovers for lunch the next day. If your family despises lefto...
