Money Saving Mondays: Saving Money While Shopping Online!



Continuing series of Money Saving Mondays! I love to save money, post deals, and just in general make my dollar stretch a little further so keep up with me on Mondays for some easy ways to save money!

Today let’s discuss ways to save money when shopping online!

Sign up for e-mail newsletters! If you have a few favorite places you like to shop, make sure to sign up for their e-mail newsletters. Almost every online store has an electronic newsletter and sometimes you will receive a sign-up bonus just for registering your e-mail address. Sign-up bonuses range from free shipping to money or percentages off your purchase!

Check for online coupon codes! Once you find that perfect item, but before you checkout, make sure you do a quick search for online coupon codes. I use sites like RetailMeNot, CouponCabin, CouponMountain, and if I don’t have much luck then I do a google search for the store name and the words coupon code or promo code (dependent on what the site requests during checkout).

There are also sites that sell items at a discount over retail, but be wary of the “original price” or MSRP. I am sure we have seen items at Amazon.com that are marked 90% off, but we know that the original price can’t be true! I like to “window shop” at Overstock.com, SmartBargains.com, and if I need something specific in higher-end clothing, I check out BlueFly.

Peruse other’s great deals (time permitting), be sure to check out FatWallet! If you sign up with FatWallet you can even earn cash back on all those great deals!

When all else fails, shop through a click-through site that gives a percentage of your purchase back to you in college savings (Upromise) or rewards for travel (i.e., AAdvantage Shopping).

If you have additional ideas for saving money while shopping online, please leave me a comment!

Want to join in on Money Saving Mondays? Copy my button, post it on your blog, and leave me a comment with a link to your post (I will figure out the Mr. Linky thing soon)!

Dog Shampoo from Dinovite!


I know I have posted about Dogosuds ® before, but I am really intrigued by this product! Have you tried it yet?

It's that time of year when your pet needs to take a bath and the weather is just perfect outside for a spray down with a hose, but before you begin, you should ask yourself?

Is your dog itching, scratching and stinking beyond belief? Do you? Wash your dog one day, just to have the stink return the next? Wait weeks between bathing your dog because his skin gets so dry and flaky? Hate bathing your dog because you rinse and rinse and rinse...and still can't get him completely rinsed?

Our dog, Logan, gets repeat skin infections when the weather warms up, so I can't wait to try this dog shampoo. We always have trouble getting him completely rinsed during a bath, and some of the scents at the pet store just seem to bother his skin even more! We are trying Dogosuds ® for this reason.

Need help making bathtime work for both of you? Why not try the all natural Dogosuds ® dog shampoo made by Dinovite. Prices start at only $2.99 and if you know you'll love the product, then there are also quantity discounts available!

Isn't it time for that new dog smell (comes in three scents (essential oil blend, lavender, and peppermint/tea tree) and unscented)?

Dogosuds ® Benefits:
• Makes your dog smell CLEAN and WONDERFUL for a long time.
• Lathers beautifully ... and RINSES EASILY!
• Contains 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils that have natural, healing properties
• Gentle soothing shampoo works well for sensitive skin.
• Is a NATURAL FLEA DETERRENT • Lathers beautifully ... and RINSES EASILY!
• Contains NO CHEMICALS, NO PERFUMES, NO FILLERS, nothing to irritate or dry your dog's skin!
• Also works great to remove SKUNK odor!

Not in the market for dog shampoo? Dinovite makes lots of other great pet-safe products!

Why I blog....as I admit defeat from a 13-mo old!


Sometimes I question why I blog...it takes time away from my family on an already busy schedule, it's hard to find your own voice and be somewhat different than all the other bloggers out there, but it's nights like tonight that remind me why I blog. Blogging gives me an outlet to do something outside of work, outside of family life, outside of everything else....time to just get away!

Tonight, I needed an opportunity to just get away. It was one of those nights where no matter what, my son would not fall asleep. After nearly 1.5 hours of trying, I admitted defeat and my husband took over. I'll admit, I can't do tough love for long...I can listen to him cry for about 5 minutes before trying to rock him to sleep, but eventually I admit defeat. After rocking him to sleep 5 different times tonight only to have him wake up when I laid him down, I just couldn't take it anymore, so I return to blogging. And if you know me, I truly couldn't take it anymore. I am no super-mom, as much as I try. I am lucky to have a very caring husband that loves his boys more than anything else out there and who is willing to be screamed at until the boy cries himself to sleep! I am wishing him luck as the crying continues. For now, I will try not to cry like a baby myself, enjoy a glass of wine, and hunt for a bargain or two! Wish me luck in better nights of sleep!
Hunting for bargains is a hobby for me, so hopefully digging for those bargains and sharing them with you makes this outlet worthwhile for not only me, but for you too! If you have something you're looking for, please let me know!

Money Saving Mondays: Inexpensive Summer Fun!


Continuing series of Money Saving Mondays! I love to save money, post deals, and just in general make my dollar stretch a little further so keep up with me on Mondays for some easy ways to save money!

Today let’s discuss inexpensive ways to enjoy summer with your family and friends!



Library hop! Most have programs during the summer and there is probably more than one in your community or local area. If you have young children, many also have a toddler time!

Have "camp" at home. Spend a week going to different parks or trying new outdoor activities. Plan it out so it seems like an adventure. If you have a tent and sleeping bags, set them up in the living room, or if it’s not too hot, the backyard! You’ll be surprised how excited your kids will be to have a living room campout!

Host a film festival. Invite the neighbors over for a Disney movie viewing marathon. Get movie snacks and make popcorn.

Throw a splash day party! Inflate the pools, throw out a slip and slide, and get out the sprinkler. Don’t forget to have frozen treats on hand too!

Read your local town paper, or the papers of close by towns to see if they will host any parades, festivals or concerts at their parks or any other venue. Depending on how tech-savvy your community is, search the internet for upcoming activities too!

If you have additional ideas for saving money on summer fun, please leave me a comment!

Review & coupon giveaway: Pillsbury simpy.... cookies!

My almost 3-yr old loves cookies, so after receiving an opportunity to try the new Pillsbury simply.... cookies, we were ecstatic! simply.... cookies are made with ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.

They have 0g of trans fat, no high fructose corn syrup, and no artificial colors of flavors. We tried the simply.... cookies in chocolate chip, and they taste much more like homemade than typical refrigerator cookies! My kids loved them, and I think you will too!

If you would like to try them, I have 4 coupons for $1.25 off a package of simply.... refrigerated cookies so leave a comment and then send me an e-mail. If you are one of the first four to respond, then I will mail a coupon out to you! It's as easy as that. Don't want to wait for a coupon, then go here to print a $1 off coupon! If you've tried them, let me know your thoughts too!
