I was told by an associate that the more purchases you make
the more coupons you will get. She let me make 2 separate
purchases to utilize the coupons I had. I gave her my email
address twice. We'll see?
I did get some more coupons in the mail just recently.

Happy Birthday Lexy




5 years old already!




I was not too frugal on the birthday party. I could have made a cake
and made sloppy joes instead of ordering pizza. We did make a little
extra money on ebay so I guess we did ok. Also I have tons of pizza
left that I froze and will use for dinner during the week......maybe
not this week , we will be sick of pizza by tonight I'm sure:)

Do you have any frugal birthday ideas? I'd love to hear what others
are doing. Please leave a comment.

PSST........





Have you signed up for PSSST..... yet? I honestly don't remember where I read about Pssst... but I signed up for it not too long ago. I have since received two separate packets of coupons. The first pack I received was for pillsbury pizza crust. I received a coupon for a free can of pizza crust along with coupons to share with my friends! The second packet I've received is for Sweet rolls. I received a coupon for a free can of sweet rolls and 10 coupons to share..
The Pssst. program sends you samples or coupons for products to try in return for your honest opinion on the product. You will have to complete a survey for them. I am new to this program. I'm not sure if this is normal to receive 2 product samples in 1 month. From what I gathered they ocassionally send samples. I may have just been lucky to receive 2. Anyways I really think its a great site to join. Check them out for yourself:)
