I have to say, I LOVE me a mommy blog or two (or ten… heck lets be honest.. my google reader at least 20!) and all the time I get the question…..

How do you FIND these deals?

While I like to think that I, in general, divinely inspired, my coupon deals (blessed as they may be) are not!  I most often repeat deals and scenarios that are found elsewhere.  I do, however, very often, recalculate the deals to fit our needs, but I still get the basis from elsewhere!

So… here’s my TOP TEN list of favorite blogs / sites to frequent to FIND THE DEALS!

#1 ) A Full Cup

#2 ) Money Saving Madness

#3 ) Bargain Briana

#4 ) Freebies for Mom

#5 ) Common Sense with Money

#6 ) The Krazy Coupon Lady (from Kansas City!)

#7 ) Cincinnati Cents

#8 ) Deal Seeking Mom

#9 ) Stretching a Buck

#10 ) I heart Wags

Yes…. the first snow of the season!!!  It came EARLY this year!  Normally, its well into January before we see any kind of accumulation.  The kids were, of course, elated and DYING to go outside.  We obliged since it was 30 something (thus their poorly dressed status!)….

Owen was Student of the Month in December.  He was so happy… also happened that Chloe was the girl student that month… go figure!  LOL  Thanks Ms. Withrow for saving us hurt feelings and a spat on the bus!  Owen had come home every single month complaining that he was not student of the month [...]

Yes, right up there with toothpaste and shampoo for me is Magazines.  I had NEVER had the luxury of having magazines around the house except the free ones the companies give you when you are pregnant, UNTIL I started couponing!  NOW…. my bathroom racks overflow!  I can remember my friend Ali, saying “You PAY for [...]

Yes, it took a little, shall we say, debate, but Santa Claus WAS able to attend Owen’s school Christmas (I mean… “HOLIDAY”) party!!!  Owen was so excited he could have peed himself.  I don’t think he was as surprised as he was EXCITED.. I mean it is pretty cool that your Grandfather is Santa!  It [...]

My mother is the queen of Thrift shops!  Her new motto- why shop anywhere else?!!  Since she has the time, she frequents several of these and MOST of our Christmas gifts came from there.  MOST of those gifts were NEW IN THEIR PACKAGES.  She even got me a massaging chair pad for my computer chair [...]

Today, the first Sunday of January is the single biggest coupon edition of the paper that will occur in the year 2010!!!  You do NOT want to miss it!  I assure you!  Now, for those of you in Lexington, the big hitch here is that the Lexington Herald Leader notriously SUCKS for coupons.  We always [...]

Kohl’s is having a HUGE sale right now ONLINE (and in the store but in the store you cannot get the extra 20% off that I am going to list so they are a little more expensive!).  The infants and toddlers sleepers on a pretty SWEET sale and if you have a child who wears [...]

So… I am BACCCCCCCCCCCK on the coupons.  It takes a lot of energy and most weeks I have barely enough to get my normal life in plus couponing let alone blogging about it but I have been “doing the deals” but I have heard from enough people that they miss seeing the deals listed on [...]

If you haven’t been watching The Sing-Off on NBC… you should have been.  I was totally blown away by the amount of raw talent!  Troy and I kept seeing the previews and I am SO glad I remembered to set the TIVO!  We laughed, we cried, we cheered…. and our favorite won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Nota` sang this [...]
