$7/1 K-Y Brand coupon


There's a super high value coupon for K-Y Brand lube on Facebook. Just like Couples Place by K-Y Brand on Facebook and click the "Offers" tab to download & print the coupon. I believe K-Y is also currently on sale at Rite Aid, and this coupon would make it a money-maker.

Valentines Swagbuck BIlls - Collect Em All

Swagbucks is at it again with their Collectors Bills.  When you search or earn Swagbucks in other ways over the next 2 weeks be on the look out for special Valentines Collectors Bills (just look for the Valentines theme).  If you manage to snag all 5 before Valentines Day you'll get an extra 50 Swagbucks.

Also, if you are on Twitter, save the image of your Collectors Bills and then tweet it with the hashtag #ValentineBills for the chance to win another 200 Swagbucks!


Search & Win


Not familiar with Swagbucks? It's by far the easiest way to earn FREE money online. Just use the Swagbucks search engine to do the searches you'd normally do, play games in their games area, watch Swagbucks TV or even buy great daily deals and you'll earn Swagbucks that you can trade in for anything from an Amazon gift certificate (my usual choice) to video games or electronics.  Just click here to get started. (You'll get 30 Swagbucks just for joining - and it only takes 450 to grab a $5 Amazon card).

The Coupon Thief

A mail carrier in NY is being accused of stealing thousands of coupons that were intended for patrons on his route and then selling them on Ebay.  Read the full story here.  This actually makes me glad that 99% of our coupons in this area show up via the newspaper, at least then all I have to worry about is people stealing the inserts out of the papers they didn't buy!

Win a FREE Keurig

Those who know me, know I wouln't survive most mornings without my Keurig, so I'm letting you know about a give-away that I juts found where you can have a chance to win one of your very own..  I love these so much that I helped a guy sell a couple one at Bed, Bath & Beyond last weekend (they never would have been happy with that little Tassimo thing).

So if you are not on board the Keurig train yet, go enter this contest and hopefully we can get you there.

Spending Goals: January Spending

Our budgeting month officially ended on Thursday, in my household. We run with our payroll on two week cycles (with a month being 4 weeks) and ending on Thursday (with payday being on Friday).

Again, it seemed as though my grocery budget just kept stretching last month and I really don't know where it all came from (although I am starting to think that some of it may have come out of my own cash fund... I'm really not sure).  I seem to be somewhat bad about "donating" my personal cash to other areas of the household (even when they don't need it).  I think it's just habit to reach into that one envelope sometimes; something I need to watch for and work on.

So the rest of the months shopping trips:
  • Target -  $4.31 (for $4.31 worth of groceries - Apples are expensive!)
  • Publix -  $1.8.05 (for 82.53 worth of groceries)
  • Publix -  .45 profit (for $16.90 worth of purchases - my favorite trip ever! Yes, he actually gave me back .45 and I gave him nothing but coupons).
  • CVS - 4.33 (for $51.80 worth of purchases)
  • CVS - $5.94 (for $15.98 worth of purchases)
  • Walgreens - $4.24 (for $25.52 worth of purchases)
  • Rite Aid - .98 (for $8.74 worth of purchases)
End of Month Totals:
Paid: $253.60 for $767.02 worth of purchases
Saved: $568.98 (or 74.18%)

So far I'm not starting the new month out very well.... but that's another story.
