Where Do I Get My Coupons?

I have received a couple emails asking me where do I get all of my coupons. One email asked me why I spend money to buy coupons in the Sunday papers.  She felt like if she didn't spend money to buy the Sunday papers she was already saving money.  I buy 3 Sunday papers every week as long as I know there is going to be coupons in it.  I spend a total of $4.25.  I always make my money back plus save a whole lot more with the coupons in the paper.

Here is a list of where I get my coupons:

Sunday Paper - I always check to see what coupons are going to be in the paper with the Sunday Coupon Preview that I post each week.  Sometimes, I buy more than 3.

Friends and Family - My mom always gets the coupons out of items that she uses and then saves them for me.

Coupons on my Blog - (Right hand side) I use coupons.com very often.  They always have great coupons.

Emails - If you sign up for a companies newsletter, they often include coupons.

Manufacturer Websites - Manufacturers often have coupons on their websites as promotions.

Included with Samples - If you request a sample/freebie that is listed on my blog, the sample usually comes with a coupon.

Magazines- You never know what coupons you are going to find in a magazine.  Sometimes they have inserts for groceries, retailers, drug stores etc.

All You Magazine - I receive around 10 magazines a month and this is the only one that I pay for.  All You magazine is always filled with coupons.  You can subscribe for this magazine or it is sold at Walmart.

Where do you get your coupons?  Have you ever ordered from a coupon clipping service?

Multi-Use Items to Clean Computer Keyboard

I would recommend do the following with your computer turned OFF.

1) Place a placemat, paper, etc over your keyboard to prevent attracting dust.

2) Pencil Eraser - Use a clean eraser to wipe gunk off the keys.

3) Cotton Swabs - Swipe between keys to remove dust.

4) Makeup Brush - Swipe between keys to remove dust.

5) Rubbing Alcohol - Dampen a cloth with alcohol and wipe surfaces to remove grime and clean your keyboard. ( I do this often and it works great.) Do not pour alcohol directly onto the keyboard.

Purex Complete with Zout Product Review

I recently received a full size bottle of Purex Complete with Zout since I am a Purex Insider.  Purex Complete with Zout is a Triple Enzyme Stain Remover.  The first time I used it,  I put it to the test.    I had prepared spaghetti for dinner and all 3 of us had sauce on our shirts and of course I had on a white shirt.  I did exactly what the directions recommended by rubbing a little directly on the stain and rubbing into the fabric.  I let it stand for 5 minutes before I put in the wash.  I was eager to see if it really worked and it did.  All 3 shirts were clean and stain free.  Since I am a mom, laundry with stains is something I deal every day.  I know exactly what to have on hand when I plan to prepare spaghetti again. 

Here is a bit information about the product that I found great: 

Purex Complete with Zout contains 3 powerful stain-fighting enzymes.

  Each enzyme targets a different type of stain:

Protease - Works again protein based stains such as grass and blood.  This will definitely come in handy for moms and dads who have children that play baseball this spring. 

Amylase:  Works against starchy stains such as chocolate and tomato sauce.  I have already tested this and it worked great. 

Mannanase:  Works against guar which is used as a thickener in many foods, such as ice cream, barbecue sauce and salad dressing because its super sticky and hard to remove in the wash. 

You can also find Purex Complete with Zout Free & Clear for those who have sensitive skin and need a fragrance free and hypoallergenic formula.  This detergent is specially formulaed to work in both traditional and High Efficiency (HE) washers.

Disclaimer:  I did receive a full size bottle of Purex Complete with Zout for this review.  No other compensation was provided.  My opinions are my own.
