Couponing Can Make a Difference

What would you do if you were chugging along in life, doing everything you are supposed to do, minding your own business and suddenly, BAM!  Life throws you a curve ball.  That is what happened to my friend, Shelli this past year.  She was handed a shocking diagnosis of cervical cancer.  What is more devastating is that her medical insurance carrier is refusing to pay for her cancer treatments.

Dealing with cancer in and of itself is something I can’t fathom.  But imagine dealing with all the extra stressors that come along with it like, no medical insurance coverage for not only the treatments but all the accessories you have to buy.  What about juggling nausea and weakness, doing your best to make it to your job, wondering how the stack of bills is going to get taken care of?  I’m sure just mustering enough strength to get to the store to buy the little things that we all need is even hard for her.

We live in a time where it is TOUGH to get by.  Couponing has been such a blessing to my family and that is why I am attempting to share what I know with as many people as I can.  One thing I do know is this: when you print a coupon off a site like coupons.com, the person who has an affiliate account with them gets paid for clicks and conversions.  Deciphered, this means I used my coupon link account in the month of January.  I printed enough coupons for myself that I accumulated $5 in my coupons.com account. So I got to thinking...if ten people printed as many coupons from my link, as I do in one month – I would receive a $50 payout from coupons.com. 

So why am I telling you all of this you might ask.  It’s simple.  I want everyone to use my link to print coupons, DUH!  But, I don't want your money.  I want to give the money to Shelli.  I don’t know if it can make a dent in the astronomical pile of medical bills she’s accumulating, but I feel like every little bit can help.  I will use my Facebook account to continue to let you know where to find good deals and I will direct you to coupon bloggers who have great scenarios planned, but if you could simply click on my coupon link to print your coupons, it would be greatly appreciated and it could make a small difference for Shelli.  

Thank you!!!!  ;)

Garnier Fructis Shampoo and Hair Spray

Coupons.com has two $1 off 1 Garnier coupons right now for shampoo, gel, conditioner and hair spray.  These coupons are great combined with an Albertson's doubler. You can easily get a bottle for around 50 cents. 

Walgreens frequently has register rewards for Garnier as well:

Ex 3 bottles of Garnier/$10, Use three $1 coupons, get back a $3 register reward.  (That's three bottles of hair "stuff" for a little over a dollar each.)

Remember you can print two of each coupon on one computer.

Brawny Paper Towels for FREE!

Go to Brawny's Facebook Page to get a coupon for $1 off any pack of Brawny paper towels.  Fred Meyer has single packs of Brawny Paper Towels this week for $1 (through Saturday.)  (That means FREE paper towels.)  I picked up a few packages and I love these towels.  They are strong and you can tear them off in smaller sheets so they last longer!

Don't forget, you can print this coupon twice.  Also, if you have a Fred Meyer Ad, you can price match at Walmart and still get them for free!

I am back!

So the last five months have been nutty.  Nursing school kept me completely away from my beloved blog that I worked so hard to start!  While I had no time to talk about it, I still made time to coupon, and did rather well over the fall months.

This semester finds me with blogging time again. I've really missed being able to share the really awesome deals that I find (and believe me, there have been some GREAT deals.)  This time, I think I want to write about deals I find in my specific area, and direct my blog to my friends and family in the immediate area, who are looking to save money.

So tell me in the comment section what you have questions about.  What kind of problems have you run into.  Tell me what I can do to help you out. And stay tuned, I'll be posting the deals I find on here...you will be glad I'm back on it!!  :)

We Interrupt Coupon Shopping To Bring You Nursing School!

Wow!  I was really cooking with gas on this blog in the month of August.  That all came to a screaching hault when I started nursing school on August 31.  Since then I have been bombarded with reading assignments, clinical training and simulation exercises! 

I guess I am NOT SUPERWOMAN.  (Dang.)  I just wanted to let you know that I am still here; that I still coupon shop when I can; I still browse the weekly ads and I am still clipping coupons, straight from this site.

Please feel free to use the site to search for coupons.  If anyone comes across a great deal, I'd love to put it up on here.  I will return soon.  ;)
