I registered a few weeks ago and got my coupon this week! I’ll be trying to get another one today!

I came across this giveaway on Consumer Queen’s Website. It’s for a Cordless Hoover. It looks neat. Go and enter- ends tonight!!

I made it to CVS today.  I haven’t been in a few weeks, although I have ECBs worth $7. I had 4 things on my list (Shavers, Dish Soap, Cereal, and Crackers) and ended up with only 2, and only used $4 of ECBs.

2 Dawns,  on sale for $1 each, had .25 off and .50 off coupons. Earned $1ECB = .25 for both

Shaver, on sale for $.799, had a $4 off coupon. Earned $4ECB = FREE

As I was reading my RSS feed (you should be using one of these too!) this morning, I was reminded of a website I love. A how-to guide for scrambled eggs was posted. I never learned how to make scrambled eggs properly, so I’ll have to try it out now. This post was accompanied by pictures, but the site also has some great videos. Check out Kathy’s site, StartCooking.com.

I went to Kmart this morning, for their Double Coupon (up to and including $2) event.

Look what I got for around $9.50:

I still can’t believe it, but I WON the Geek Girl Giveaway from Blissfullydomestic.com.

I got an email from Jenny right before I went on vacation and when I got back, I had 5 packages waiting for me! I have only had a chance to play with 2 of them so far (SlotRadio and the Discovery Bluetooth headset) and I still have 2 more items to arrive.

Here was the giveaway post.

Since I have started my own blog, I have been noticing that a lot of other blogs have giveaways.

Today, I came across a really good one at Blissfullydomestic.com. I’ll be entering in this as many times as I can (and this post counts too).  Included is a bluetooth headset, 1GB flashdrive, SlotRadio, iPopperz air buds, media case, sunglasses with blue tooth, and a laptop bag! Oh Mi!!

I hope I win. You can go ahead and enter too!

Okay, this is a little off the wall- but I like it. I just saw this video posted on Pop Crunch. It’s a 100 women in London dancing to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” song in the middle of Piccadilly Circus. I love that song and the dance and I love London- so it’s a good combo.

Here’s the Popcrunch Link.

Wanted to share some ways to save at Kroger. Most of you that are reading this probably already look at the weekly ad and then compare to find coupons that you have to match up. But I wanted to share some other ways to save at Kroger that came up in conversation with a lot of people at work this week.

Kroger has partnered with several electronic coupon vendors that you can “load” electronic coupons onto your Kroger Plus card so that you don’t have to clip and remember to bring the coupons to Kroger with you. That was the complaint with coupons that people at work had. They were excited and impressed with the electronic coupons.

Here is a listing on Kroger’s website

• There are P&G coupons (Tide, Bounty, Charmin)
• CellFire (Mobile/web coupons- but I haven’t had a chance to try this one yet)
• Shortcuts Website  (GM, Betty Crocker)
