I haven't blogged in several years now.. too much to tell you why.. I simply have been too busy to think about it! But I now have found Pinterest and want so badly to add the picture of my new desk that my wonderful husband built for me! So I am trying this to upload it... it won't seem to load on it's own.. This was made from two stools and an old door. Perfect for that old rustic look.. and looking over our new back yard during the beautiful Fall season makes it even more wonderful! Enjoy..

From a press release sent out by Haagen-Dazs:
Buzz into any participating Häagen-Dazs Shop on May 12th for a “Free-bee” scoop during Häagen-Dazs ice cream’s annual Free Flavor Day!
On Tuesday, May 12, 2009, consumers can visit any participating Häagen-Dazs Shop between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. to receive a free scoop of any of Häagen-Dazs bee-built flavor. Since honey bees pollinate ingredients essential to more than 50 percent of Häagen-Dazs ice cream’s all-natural flavors, consumers will have a large assortment of flavors from which to choose.
To find a nearby Häagen-Dazs Shop where you can participate in the Free Flavor Day festivities, go here.
As always, I recommend that you call your store ahead of time to confirm they are participating in this event.

Savings on Sunday 5/3

I went to Bruno's today - triple coupons and spent 109 on 169 dollars worth of groceries.. i was pumped! all the stuff i needed - that included steaks, 3lbs of hamburger meat and chicken - also a big thing of toilet paper and two things of gain...... and lots of groceries - i also took advantage of the walgreens deal - bayer crystals are awesome and ALL month they are buy one for $2.50 and get a RR of $2.50 - free... i also bought the colgate w/ coupon and the bic disposable razors w/ coupon that made them only $1.99 after RR ... I did figure out that if you buy 3 items and you use 3 coupons you cannot use your RR's for the purchase - they are considered a coupon and that would make 3 items purchased and 4 coupons and they won't allow that - so I had to use a filler item (a 4th item w/ no coupon) in order to use my rr's that I already had.... so that explains the other bloggers that say they had to throw in a filler item.... I am learning - slowly - and with mistakes - but loving saving all the money and having all the items that I use daily anyway for FREE! I will go back again this week and take advantage of the Perk Shampoos, Listerine Total Care and the Right Guard Deoderant!

freebies at Walgreens
OK, i told you yesterday that I would try to enlighten you on the Walgreens freebies that I was given on Sunday (get that - "given" not "bought") HA! I found a Nivea coupon in one of those sunday coupon books for $1.00 off a Nivea product - well, since Walgreens has the body scrub on sale for $4.99 and a Register Reward for $5.00 off your next purchase - I used my $1.00 coupon when I purchased the Nivea Body Scrub which = $3.99 out of pocket with a coupon for $5.00 off my next purchase.... HA!
then I saw that the Listerine - large bottles - were on sale 2 for $8.00 with a Register Reward of $4.00 - I just happened to find a manufacter coupon in the Rite Aid Sunday Add for $4.00 off the purchase of 2 bottles of listerine - THAT EQUALS FREE! Double HA!
now i have $9.00 Register Rewards to use next week.... I paid $2.11 out of pocket - since I had $6.00 from last weeks reward :~)

Coupon Ideas
I have been away from my blog lately, having gotten into too much with family, friends, work and other ... but I think I'll try to come back to my money saving blog with ideas that I have come up with from reading others' blogs and some on my own...... I have really gotten into coupons lately! Having learned that with a Buy One Get One Free - you can use 2 Coupons! I was so surprised to know this! and with Walgreens and CVS deals on a weekly basis it is SO easy to get lots of stuff for FREE! WOW - I love free items! .. but have wondered... can't I have TOO much toothpaste and shampoo??? well, then i realized that I could always donate them to others (I mean really, they were technically free) and to food closets around the town, now that would be fulfilling!
My DEAL for the day came from Walgreens.... I received 2 large bottles of Listerine and 1 large bottle of Nivea Body Scrub - both for FREE PLUS $1.00 off my other purchases! WOW - I'll have to get the details for you and post them tomorrow - getting tired now :~( hope you guys are still following me and have connected me to your Google Reader - what a cool way to follow a blog - I must have at least 10 blogs that I follow daily to get all the great ideas from.. let me know how many you have .

Would you like to be a Nike Shoe Tester?
I came across this interesting site also on fatwallet.com... I had NO idea that Nike or any other shoe company would use average testers for their new shoes!!! This was so interesting for me to see..... I did start the process to become a "Nike Product Tester" until I came to the 3rd page that said they were only accepting for 1. Golf 2. Tennis or 3. Soccer - which I do none of.
But if you do any of these things - you might want to check into this! The interesting part I found was that it had to be a secret. Yes, a secret that you were testing for Nike....in other words, you are not allowed to wear them in public places, allow anyone to try them on, talk to anyone about them and a list of other things that are just crazy. Enjoy :) Check it out!~
