Busy Moms Guide to Couponing, the Not-So-Extreme way

I get a lot of people who say they just don't have time to coupon, and I say to that, "Everyone has time to coupon".  So I decided to make this series, on how Busy Moms can coupon and save lots of money, and only spend around 2 hours per week doing it.  Now everyone can spare 2 hours in a weeks time can't they?  Getting started is the hardest part, so I will try to help make it easier on you all.  But first I will tell you my story.

BzzAgent review of Lysol Power and Free



I recently received a BzzAgent kit with my free Lysol Power & Free cleaners.   Lysol Free & Clear has a hydrogen peroxide formula that kills 99.9% of bacteria, and no bleach, which is appealing to me as I have a septic tank, and bleach is a big NO, NO!!

I was very pleased with the product, especially the MultiPurpose cleaner, just spray it on any gunky, dried on mess, walk a way for a minute, come back and wipe with a rag, easy as that!!! No need to scrub!!!

I would recommend that you try this product, if you are interested leave me a message below, and I just may send you out a coupon so you can try it!!!

What a Fruit full Weekend


Good morning to all.  Todays topic, what to do with fresh fruit so it does not go bad, why make pies, desserts or jellies of course!!!  I received several pints of fresh blueberries from my local food bank, and my husband has been begging me to make him a homemade blueberry pie, so I spent all day Friday making pies, 3 of them to be exact!!!! My wonderful friend Lisa also received some blueberries, so I made one of the pies for her.  It is a very easy recipe, and Lisa doesn't really like blueberries, but said that she loved this pie.  So I decided to share the recipe and pictures along the way for you!

For the Blueberry Pie Filling you will need 5 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries (2 pints), 3/4 cup of sugar and 3 tbsp flour.

For the pie crust you will need 2 1/4 c of flour, 3/4 tsp salt, 2/3 c shortening and 8-10 tbsp of cold water.  (Or you can buy the pre-made pie crusts at the store)

I start out by going through my blueberries and pulling off any stems or any bad berries, I put them in a colander and rinse them, then let them sit and drain while I make the crust.

In a medium bowl mix flour and salt. Using a pastry blender cut in shortening until pieces are pea size. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of water over mixure and toss with fork, move moistened pastry to side of the bowl and then repeat until all of the flour mixture is moistened. Then divide in half and make 2 balls.

On lightly floured surfaceuse hands to slightly flatten one pastry ball, then use rolling pin and roll out from center to edges into a 12 inch circle. Wrap around the rolling pin and unroll unto a 9 inch pie plate with out stretching it, and then trim off any excess . Now put filling into the pie crust.
To make the filling mix sugar and flour in a bowl until well blended, then fold blueberries in mixture until well coated, then put into pie crust.
Then roll the second ball and either lay on top of filling, cut slits in pie crust and seal edges, or do lattice and cut into strips and cover filling. If desired, brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
Then take tin foil and tear out center and put over pie to ensure that the edges do not burn.
Now put in oven at 375 for 25 minutes, then remove foil from pie, bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until filling is bubbly. And then cool on wire rack. Enjoy plain or with some vanilla ice cream!!! 

Hope you all try this recipe and enjoy it!!! Let me know if you are interested in any other recipes and maybe I can make it and post it on a blog.

Purex Fabric Softener Sheet Review & Giveaway


As a member of the Purex Insiders I was given the opportunity to try the Purex Fabric Softener Sheet.  First thing is the box smelled WONDERFUL!!!  The scent is sweet lavender and it is most assuredly sweet to the nose.  Then I put them in the dryer with my clothes.  The whole laundry room smelled of a light scent of sweet lavendar, and my clothes were very soft after using the product.

I have tried many types of fabric softener sheets, and I have to say this one is one of the best I have tried.  The smell does not fade as they sit on your dryer, and your clothes will end up very soft.  I highly recommend trying this product, you just might find a new fabric softener sheet to use!

That being said, I have a giveaway, I was given free product coupons and would like to share one with one of my loyal followers.  Just enter below, you have one week to enter the contest and on Thursday August 15 a winner will be announced.  Good luck to everyone.

So many contests, so little freebies

Well this month has started out slow for those of us in the freebie world, but there is always a bright side!!! There are plenty of contests out there for you to enter.  I was a little skeptical when it came to contests on facebook and other social outlets, but I watched other people post on how they kept winning things, so I decided to give it a try, and BOY AM I GLAD I DID!!!

In the last week or so I have won the following prizes from Youtube, Facebook & Pinterest:
Freaky Pet stuffed animal, misc prize from a youtube channel I subscribe to, a Lemi Shine gift from Texas To You pinterest contest, a Nuby sippy cup, and a Snickiddy Prize box from facebook.   And all this in less than 2 weeks.

So make sure you follow the contests on facebook, you never know you just might win something great!!!

In fact, tomorrow will be my review for Purex and I will be having a giveaway for free product coupon, so tune in tomorrow!!

Happy Couponing, Freebie Hunting and Contest entering!!!!

Great ways to Save

Another great way to save money, if you get fresh veggies, CAN THEM!!! I just had my first experience.  I got a TON of cucumbers from a local food bank, and my husband LOVES Bread & Butter pickles.  So I decided to try my hand at making some pickles.  Just put them in the jars, now they have to sit in the jars in the fridge for 24 hours to finish "pickling".  If they turn out good (at least right now they smell good!!) I will share the recipe.  It was super easy.  Well time for bed.  Till tomorrow, Happy Couponing/Freebie Hunting/ Canning!!!!

Freebie and product review sites

Okay had a request to post the websites/facebook pages to get free samples.  Here are the best ones I have found:
hunt4freebies.com
vonbeau.com (also like their page on facebook)
freestuffmyway.com
freebie ninja on facebook

Also I have found several sites that will send you full products to try and review, they are:
swaggable.com (within a week I got 5 product invites)
smiley360.com
bzzagent.com (if you have a significant other you can sign up for both of you)

Did a small CVS coupon run today, they are having a Beauty Sale, so lots of products 50-75% off, great deals to be had, especially if you have coupons on top of the sales.

Hope your weekend was good! Happy Couponing/Freebie hunting!!! :)

Welcome!!!

So here is my first blog!!! I am a busy new (again) mom, I have a 16 year old and now an 8 month old, who loves to save money, share with others any information on how to save money and get great products for your family.  Depending on the time restraints of being a new mom, i will try to post daily.  So, I have recently started joining "Review Sites".  These sites you can try products, you then give an honest review of the products and share on social medias, ie facebook, twitter, youtube or blogging.  I have joined Bzzagent.com, Smiley360.com and Swaggable.com, and just got an invite to Influenster.  Already got 5 product invites on swaggable in 2 weeks! So any questions for me, just let me know!
