Money Monday’s

I’m back after a week of no electric which in turns equals no internet.  We had major rains, which washed out MILES of electric lines. 

Anyway, for today’s money Monday, I gathered some websites that offer coupons or money saving deals.  I would love to hear what you thought of them or if you have any favorites.

Coupons & Thrifty websites revisit

Couponwinner.com – fairly new.  Offers discounts and coupons for more than 5,500 retailers.  Cool features:  You can view multiple deals side by side! 

Couponcode.com – Cool feature:  breaks coupons into categories – new, expiring, and free shipping

Ebates.com – offers discounts for shopping on line

Paperbackswap.com is great to save money on books.  Our library is small and the selection is very limited and it’s 35 miles away.  I have saved over $5,000!  And solved the problem of what to do with the books once I’ve read them.

Shortcuts.com to see if your grocery store offers e-coupons

Swapsavers.com – “a social network for frugal folks who love freebies, coupons & rewards.”  Offers a lot of different forms and some fun information. 

thriftyfun.com is a coupon swap

wholegrainscouncil.or is a great resource.  Includes recipes, general information and a list of whole grain manufactures.

Donate Expired Coupons – U.S. military families stationed overseas are able to use expired coupons on base for up to six months after the manufacturer’s expiration date. You can adopt a base. See http://www.ocpnet.org/base_list.htm

Have a great day!

Finally Finished Fridays

Quick side note and very important lesson:  verify that your text REALLY is at the bottom of the pictures.   I checked that the pic’s loaded fine – they did but didn’t look to make sure my actual blog posted.  A minor detail – or not.

Anyway, these two are baby blankets I crocheted this year.  My goal is to complete one blanket a month to give away to local organization.  The top is a double layer blanket.  Both sides have heart fillet’s (which didn’t show up really well).  I sewed the blocks together and then bordered them.  I really like ‘granny’ square blankets because they’re easy to travel and make. 

The second is a fun shaped pattern I modified.  People donate yarn to me all the time.  They start a project and then decide they hate crocheting or knitting.  So this piece used some of those random skeins of yarn.

So these are the first two blankets of the year.
