Save Save Save !!!!!

So I've kinda gone a little coupon Crazy... and I like to stay organized , I found that I have just too many of them for my wallet... but I'm not a crazy coupon lady like those on those Coupon shows.. Although I secretly would like to...
I live in Canada and its not like the states where you can load up and double up and coupon match, if I'm lucky I can get away with one coupon per item.. occasional I have been able to "stack" coupons, but this doesn't happen to often.. (Stacking coupons, is when you have one or more coupons for the same item, they need to be different coupons but for the same item, some places like London drugs lets you stack them..)
these are the sites I get my coupons from...

http://smartcanucks.ca/ this site has many printable and mail in coupons, as well as freebies
http://www.facebook.com/CANQP this face book page updates frequently with awesome deals and coupons
https://websaver.ca/en_ca/ mail in coupon data base, great products
http://save.ca/ in coupon data base, great products
http://flyerland.ca/ I use this to plan out my meals by checking whats on sale weekly...

other money saving idea's is stock up when things go more than 50% off, grocery stores "cycle" sale, so that means every 3-6 months they have the same sale on the same item, stock up then..
Coupon or buy in bulk with your friends... its easier to save money when you have the support of friends :)

Local PG coupon site... http://thelittlespender.com/

FREE EYE GLASSES !!! yes please

ok so I like a deal.. oh boy do I like a deal.. I am however very leery of a "too good to be true deal" and when this one came up I was all.. hmm is this for real.. so I gave it a try and boy am I happy I did.. I ordered a pair of designer glasses and paid less than $15 bucks for taxes and shipping .. I ordered them Tuesday morning and they arrived on Thursday afternoon.. wholly fast shipping bat man.. I couldnt even get my glasses this fast if I bought them from my optometrist ... not to mention they were less than $15 bucks....

You will need your prescription and its valid for one pair per person ...
check out the frames a head of time so you dont have to risk missing out on the deals...

I'm so happy I did this... and now I have to share it with the world .. :) hehehhe

sharing some of my favorite blogs....

I'm going to start sharing my favorite blogs on here too ..

I have to share.. Play at Home Mom.. this is by far the most inspiring page I've found in a long time.. these momma;s share their "play" and craft idea's on their blog and on face book.. I'm daily finding new things on their blog.. often the idea's are so easy and simple even the "un-craft" can do these fun activities with little effort.. :) I love their "let them get messy" philosophy , and that toys should be 90% kid imagination and 10% toy.. such a new way for me to look at "play" ...

I'm a Baby steals addict... really I check it and watch the archives.. I love a deal.. here's the link to their blog ... they have give-aways all the time , and their community is very family friendly .. http://www.babysteals.com/wp/?p=4687

I LOVE baby and kids steals....

So I'm addicted to an on line baby / kids / scrap booking site.. they have a daily sale of high end great quality products... I never thought of myself as a name brand momma till I had my eyes opened after finding www.babysteals.com ... I've purchased several items from diaper bags to shoes to, clothing items stuffed toys nursing bras and storage solutions... they seriously look after their customers... they love their stealing mommas who go crazy over JuJuBe and Petunia pickle bottom... I never heard of $100 dollar baby blankets till I found b.s. they of course sell them for a greatly discounted price :) the Steals network has amazing customer service.. if you have a problem with your product they will either replace it, fix it or make you happy...
The only issue I have is the shipping time... I live in Canada and it takes FOR EVER to get my "steals" often about 21 days... it feels longer when im waiting for something I'm really excited about :)
I'm a huge fan of B.s K.s... :) they have a "steal" every morning at 9am mdt ... and Baby steals offers a second daily steal at 9pm mdt...

how it works is they ofter an item and its on sale till its gone, some times the item is sold out in seconds... some times it doesn't sell out.. if it doesn't sell out it goes into the archives and you can buy from the archives as well :)

I warn you... this site is super addictive....
