Spring has Sprung

It's been a long winter.  It's been a really really painfully long winter.  Technically, spring started about a month ago.  But the bad weather and the cold temperatures really don't worry about calendars.  It has been pretty cold up until the last week.  Finally, spring is actually here!

This is a great time to go out to all the Spring Festivals in your area.  It is a great way to get out in the sun, enjoy wherever you may live, and, most of all, save money.  Everyone likes to be able to get away from it all.  Unfortunately, you can't always afford to do that.  Try to think of the Spring Festival as a mini-vacation.  It has an amusement park feel, and often there is little or no cost at all to get in.  You can people watch and get some cheap funnel cakes.  What could be better than that?  So go out there and enjoy the weather.

My Coke Rewards Update

I am happy to announce that I am now the proud owner of a Wet / Dry Rechargeable Vacuum.  I received this vacuum from collecting 1500 Coke Rewards.  This just goes to show that you can collect points and actually earn a quality item.  I am really happy with my vacuum and it cleans quite well.  If anyone is considering getting this product, I would highly recommend it.  It was completely free, including the shipping.

Baltimore Sun Coupons - April 23 & 24

I wanted to give a little update to everyone about my coupon quest.  I was really excited last weekend about all of my coupons from the Baltimore Sun.  Well, this weekend there were no coupons at all.  If you are buying the weekend newspaper just for coupons, do not bother.  I guess this makes up for the extra coupons from last week.  Unless one of my neighbors took my coupons.  Grrrr!

Baltimore Sun Coupons - April 16th & 17th, 2011

If anyone out there has a subscription to the Baltimore Sun, you are in luck this weekend!  There are a ton of coupons this weekend.  Instead of just the usual 2 or even 3 packets, there are actually 4 packets this weekend.  This is the most I've seen so far.  Even if you do not subscribe to the Baltimore Sun, if you live in Maryland you should pick up a weekend newspaper.  If you do not live in Maryland, check out your state's newspaper this weekend.  Chances are, they have plenty of coupons as well.

When you check out the coupons, you can expect to find really practical, helpful coupons for cereal, detergent, beauty products, and much more.  It is a great weekend for bargain hunters!
