Alright, ive been blogging & couponing for just over 2 years now. I love doing it, and i love helping people save money! On my FaceBook Fan Page I do some giveaways, but they arent anything special like the ones ive been entering for actual PRODUCTS from different company's, like Rubbermaid, Softlips, etc., but I have no clue where to start or how you guys get the companys to do this for you. Ive emailed a bunch of company's and only 2 said they'd be happy to help me so i used their product for a give away, but it was only free coupons, then other companys seem offended I even asked and other companys say they arent dont have a give away policy yet, but will pass my email along to the proper person for future use. So come on help me out! I know a few of you have mentioned a few websites and I did sign up with them. The newest one i signed up with today is Mom Select -- so we'll see how that goes!!! **p.s for the people who actually read by blog, how do you feel im ...

I hardly ever go to Walmart anymore, but I wanted to get a pair of those new Dr Scholl's custom fit orthodontic for when we go away considering we'll be doing mainly all walking and my knee and back have been a mess, so its worth a shot! Check it out HERE if you don't know what i'm talking about!! So.. Transaction #1 - Dr. Scholl's $50.00 I had a $3 coupon for the regular ol' flimsy ones that i was going to get if they didnt have the number i needed...so seeing as i wasnt getting the reg. ones i wasn't going to use the coupon. The cashier saw it and said oh are you going to use that? i said no cause its not the right thing, she said it says any Dr. Scholl's right? [i dont know if it did or didn't cause she took it from me], she scanned it and it went through! So i paid $47 instead of $50. But the best part was that I was able to use our HSA account seeing as its a medical/health product! Transaction #2 - I got the extra work outs for Wii Active th...

The man who installed our dish and set up our service was great, he showed us all the things to do that we didn't have before! Like DVR, Pausing and Fast Forwarding a show and being able to pick 9 Favorite channels etc. and First month of service was great!! We loved all our new channels that we didn't have with cable as well!! One of the deals was if you signed up and were approved for auto pay [comes right out of your bank account w/o having to send money in] well we were approved and were told we were all set, and for signing up with auto pay you were to get a $100.00 Visa GC!
