Well, I haven't figured out my great saving plan for next week. I did spend the afternoon cleaning out the freebie/coupon forums. I had already been through animals, baby, beauty, book, teachers, travel, and office, but there was so much expired or updated it was hard to keep track of all the redundant posts, so I skimmed through a bit, then started on coupon forum.

I do like going through these and checking the links. Nice to see what is out there, update the information or the links, and take advantage of any great offers in the process.

The teacher stuff has been great, my sister is so happy with the items that she is getting for her class! She is so swamped, it's nice I can do this one thing to help. Unbelievable how much of their own money teachers spend on their classes.

Anyway. I am still irritated that our local grocers all decided to stop accepting internet coupons two weeks ago. I've only been doing this a few weeks! But, I have been contacting the manufacturers directly, and getting very nice responses of coupons. Also links for how to request internet coupons by mail. So, that's helping. I've noticed other people are having the same problem, so I'm trying to post info on both internet and postal mail coupons. It is nice to know before you go to the link.

Have spent half the week it seems trying to get spyware, trojans, etc. off the computer. Cool Savings put 17 critical objects on every time. But it hasn't been as bad as some. Took me forever to find the coupon printing files and delete them so I could request the coupons by mail.


MD is working at pulling out the expired coupons to send off to our military friend. Guess that's about it.
