500 Free Business Cards

So I admit, I have passed over this offer in the past, but I recently took advantage of it and I am sure glad I did! Here are some creative uses for them.....
"Mommy Cards" - you could give these to the parents of your child's friends, or your child's teacher as ways to get in touch with you.
Gift Tags - Who says you have to put contact info on it? Get creative and create a simple "Thank You" or "Happy Holidays" tag. These would be great to attach to a box of homemade cookies or candy this Christmas!
Blog Cards - Do you have a blog to share pictures and stories with friends and family members?
Personal info - Ever run into an old friend and promise to get together, but all you had available to take down her phone number was an old napkin, and then your child had a violently explosive sneeze...in the car...while you are driving...and you frantically search for a tissue, only to realize (after the fact) that there was a reason you had that old napkin in your purse? Problem solved...

Ok...the last example might have been a little over the edge, but hey....what can I say...

Here is the link to these adorable little (fill in the blank) cards. Enjoy!

Couponing 101-Acronyms

The world of couponing has it's own language which can be quite frustrating when you are trying to get the best deals.

Today, I am going to help you out with some of the frequently used acronyms in couponing. While this is not an all inclusive list, this will give you a good solid start.

AY=All You Magazine - This magazine is only available at Walmart or by subscription. It typically contains a large number of coupons.

BOGO=Buy one, get one free - Likewise, B1G2 is buy one, get 2 free and so on.

CAT=Catalina - These are coupons that print out of a machine at the registers. These may be a regular $ off a particular product, or may be $ off your next order, which can be used like cash in most cases. (Usually not able to use on gift cards, lottery, alcohol, tobacco, etc - pay attention to the fine print)

ECB=Extra Care Bucks - Coupons that print on your CVS receipt when you purchase special advertised items. These can be used like cash - only at CVS.

IPC=Internet printable coupons - Coupons that can be printed from the internet.

Mfr=Manufacturer

MIR=mail in rebate

OOP=Out of pocket - Refers to the actual amount of cash spent after coupons, discounts and promotions.

OYNO=On your next order

PG=Proctor & Gamble coupon insert found in Sunday paper, usually released monthly

Q=coupon

RP=Red Plum coupon insert found in Sunday paper.

RR=Register Receipt - Catalina coupon that prints at Walgreens to be used like cash on most items. I have had success using these at Jewel and Meijer in addition to Walgreens.

SS=Smart Source coupon insert found in Sunday paper.

WYB=when you buy

Hope this helps!

Disney's The Princess and the Frog FREE!

When you pre order Toy Story and Toy Story 2 (pre order ends 3/22/10) at Toys R Us, you can get $15.00 off of another Disney title priced $19.99 or more. They are also running an additional "Disney Promo" which gives you an additional $5.00 off! (Hope this is still going on Tuesday when I go to pick up the Toy Story movies!)

"The Princess and the Frog" $19.99-$15.00 -$5.00= FREE
"UP" Digital/DVD combo $24.99-$15.00-$5.00= $4.99

To make the deal even sweeter, I logged onto disneymovierewards.com entered the upc codes off of my old VHS copies of Toy Story and Toy Story 2, and was able to print $10 coupons off the purchase of the new releases of Toy Story and Toy Story 2!

MAIDEN VOYAGE!

Ok....so this is it! I have been clipping coupons and finding incredible deals for a while now, and am frequently asked how I do it. I finally decided to jump in head first and do a blog so I can share this information with all of you. Times are tough, and I love seeing people save money! Please continue to follow this blog and I will do my best to pass along all the deals I can find. HAPPY BLOGGING!
