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
