Too Good NOT To Share

One of my favorite websites/blogs/daily emails comes from a woman in Colorado Springs.  She’s taught me a ton about saving money and always  has the best coupons, so you must check out http://springsbargains.com/

The two things that caught my eye, the free burger from TGIFriday’s, it’s a coupon but hey, that’s the next best thing.  The other is a coupon for $10 off Junior Fashions at Sears.  They have tons of shirts for the girls on sale for 9.99 so yes, it’s free! (Or so it seems, I’ll be trying it out in the morning, and I’ll show you what I bought, I mean GOT for FREE, right here tomorrow!!)

Couple other $$$ notes.  Thanks to coupons, I’ve been trying different products.  I like to think of myself as the ultimate consumer.  I’ve spent a lot (in the past) and I’ve spent next to nothing, and really, you don’t ALWAYS get what you pay for.  So I’ve decided that in the interest of saving you money by exposing crap, or costing you money, but ENSURING that you love something, I’m going to name names.

First off, if you’re shopping at Walgreen’s and buying Fabric Softener sheets, do NOT waste your money on the Xcel brand, 80 sheets for $5.49 on sale for 3.49 ( I must have had a coupon because I wouldn’t have spent even that on it!!)   They not only STINK, they don’t smell at all, and I tried to throw half a dozen in a single load.

I really want to love the Purex Complete 3-in-1 sheets, that you put in the washer and it serves as laundry soap, and softener….then you just toss into the dryer and it is supposed to continue it’s magic as a dryer sheet, but I can’t.  The poor thing is spent by the time it gets to the dryer.  I must be a very “nasal” kind of gal, because NO smell is fine for Body Odor, but for laundry needs give me something to make me go, MMMMMMMMM.

I do have to highly recommend the Glade, Fragrance Collection soy candles.  Thanks to a trusty coupon I tried three and while I like this  Mcintosh Apple smell, the green one I used all up was even yummier.  Totally would buy these again, but being to notches tighter than tight, I might have to wait for another coupon.

The jury is still out on Walgreens brand “Big Roll” Toilet paper.  I bought it because it’s way cheap, and way big, but it sort of feels CHEAP.  My thought, when money is tight and guests are coming, stock their bathroom with this stuff and keep the good stuff for your own arse.  Now aren’t you glad you didn’t even have to ask.  :)
