About Me

My photo
I'm a stay at mom to my wonderful daughter. She and my husband are my entire life. I have found that living on one income has made me a frugalista. I have had to find new and creative ways to stretch our dollar so that we can live comfortably. I get a thrill out of saving a dollar, and I enjoy seeing it all "pay" off.

My Week's Worth of Freebies

So I got so interesting stuff in the mail this week. I got a neti pot from NeilMed. If you don't know what a neti pot it, well... it's a small pot that it used to rinse out you sinuses. My understanding is you put a saline mixture in the pot made with warm water, then you put the spout in one nostril and tilt you head so that the fluid come out the other one. Sounds gross, I know. But some people really like these things, and i figured, if nothing else, I could always give it to my daughter to play with in the tub. (After thoroughly washing it, of course.)
I also got a Seattle's Best coffee sample and $1 off coupon, coupons for a free package of Oscar Mayer deli combos and a free sandwich combo (courtesy of kraftfirsttaste.com), a coupon for a free container of Yoplait yogurt, a Pampers coupon for $1 off wipes (should make for a good deal on travel wipes). I got a sample of Gucci Guilty (which I'd feel too "guilty to spend that much money to smell good, but thanks for the free smells). Got a bunch of coupons from Dunkin' Donuts, including one for a free iced coffee. I received a sample of Purex with Zout and a sample of Gold Bond body wash (and $1 off coupon). I got a cool refrigerator magnet frame from Florida Citrus that I thought was pretty clever. It's got a "Meaningful Morning checklist" on it to help you start your morning out right. Love that, since I sometimes get up with a case of the grumps. It suggests sharing a joke with your kids, giving each family member a hug on their way out the door, eating a good breakfast, and crating a goodbye ritual (like a hand shake or funny saying). That was the order, too, which I found odd, since I would think the goodbyes would follow breakfast. But I'm kind of particular about lists. But hey, still a cool freebie. I can put my daughter's picture or artwork in it and put it on my fridge.
That's all I got today peeps. I'm tired and need my Z's. And since I'll be going to the beach for a week, and I probably will be too busy to post, I'll catch up with you on the 12th!
