Ok... so I signed up for a bunch of freebies weeks ago... the fine print said 4-6weeks.. they weren't playing with that one. I waited and waited...and finally... my freebie coupons came... so now I'm ready to try these out. So SUAVE.. my new BFF sent me MEGA COUPONS. for their new product line of Suave Professional .. I got a win-win situation... MEGA Suave Professionals - Almond & Shea Butter 32oz. normally retails for 2.74 at Walmart. I got two for completing a quiz. I am also trying Suave Natural Creamy Body Wash 1. Apricot & Orange Blossom -Exfoliating 2. Cocoa butter & Shea I am a product junkie. I love to try new things to see how they work. My whole goal with these two is to 1. have healthier hair (I am now natural) so I need to retain moisture within these braids. 2. Body wash is a necessity - smell good but I need something to again moisturize this dry skin that I was given genetically ( SMH they should have told me about that - and living in ...

I can't believe it's been two months since my last entry!... A lot has been going on in my world. I love writing it's one of my passions as well as reading, thus I have to stay on top of this. ok... so this is the very first time I have won something HUGE. I HEART FACEBOOK... I like to be connected. I noticed all my friends playing games on facebook like the ITGirl and Farmville. I decided to turn sweepstakes and signing up for stuff into a game for myself. I'll try anything, right? So I signed up for the SaveOnEnergy $250 card gas givewaway..and guess what! I WON! I WON! I WON!... I was able to go on a FREE trip because I had FREE gas cards to get me to and from my home state. How freaking cool is that? I have to thank the great staff of LAUNCHFISH.com I was so shocked and surprised that people really do WIN. Being a first timer it's like the most javascript:void(0)surreal thing. You can't believe you are chosen. I am very grateful for this because it wa...

There have been some great deals out there in the past month. I got to teach a lady how to shop at Walmart with coupons. We bought 8 items for only 8.61 cents. Everything was purchased had a coupon associated with it. 1.We had a coupon for Suave Professionals Conditioner 32floz - final cost FREE 2.Plus Carefree had a .94cent coupon so they were FREE. 3.Carefree Pantyliners body shape 22 count final cost FREE 4.We had a dollar off for the eggs from www.coupon.com so they were only .62cents 5.There was also a $2.00 coupon for the razors so their total was 1.47 6. mouth wash coupon was .75 cents off of 4.00 7. sausage .55 coupon. total savings - $11.94 I want to put a 30 day challenge! Everything you purchase has to be with a coupon. I was driving and thinking about this. In our society there is so much emphasis on how much we spend on this car, that purse, etc that we lost sight that GOD gives us prosperity to do great works with and not to spend frivolously on things tha...

I have to admit. I was an impulsive buyer. I saw something I wanted and had to have it. That type of instantaneous microwave generation way of thinking is the same thing that got me into debt once. Thus I realize that it has to stop. No more spending money frivolously on things which have no quality based upon an emotional impulse which will subside in an hour. The high of buying something on an outward appearance. My new motto on any and everything is ="If it can't be bought with a coupon, I don't need it!." There are things that I would love to have that can not be bought with a coupon of course, like my own home and luxury car of my choice. With time and savings I will be able to have those things. Good things come to those who wait and are patient. So I realize that I'm going to get myself in order financially and live off half of my income. Goal is to be done with student loans, car note, and miscellaneous debt by age 35. So I have 3 years to go. Ms. F...

The price was right today because the price = FREE. One of the ways I have been cutting costs is through taking surveys. If I go to a fast food restaurant one of the things I noticed is that some of them have survey's on the back. The survey usually gets you some form of free food for taking it. Today was Arby's I took an online survey (you can also take it via phone). Today was a free Beef N' Cheddar. I am not really supposed to be eating fast food anymore but I couldn't bypass free since we are all in the American Struggle. Ms. Frugal Deals

This weekend I went out to take out the trash and what do you know I found a 32-inch Emprex HD-3201D TV I also found a six drawer cart near the dumpster. I guess it doesn't sell much anymore at Fry's or any other store for that matter. It retailed between $400-800 in it's hay day. This brand is known for the defect in the power supply. It appears it was manufactured in 2005. I am going to replace both the power supply and the tuner. I found out that I will have to pay only 50-60$ for a power supply on ebay. I have set this as my May 2011 Project. Some people don't like dumpster diving, they think that it's dirty or that it's for the poor. I do not agree.I'm not against dumpster diving I absolutely solute those who can make another persons trash their treasure. I actually wasn't looking for these items or diving for them just there. I've wanted an LCD TV for awhile it's going to be fun to fix and not have to spend so much on it. . It...
