Time to shop for the garden

April 16, 2008 by Tricia

I find that we have seasonal expenses. I’m sure lots of people find that they shop more at Christmas time and that they have hefty bills to pay come January. Our expenses go up at that time too, but I find that we have another spike in our spending in April and May too.

Why? Well … I’m a gardener. Spring is the best time to go out and buy more plants for the garden or order from mail order or online shops. I always find that I buy seeds, bulbs or bare root plants and garden decor around this time. I also often end up with a new garden book or two as well.

One of the sites that I’ve been looking at this year is www.buy.com because they always have the best buy. I just type in garden or gardening in the search box and it brings up interesting garden items and gardening related books. I also check out their front page while I’m there too as they have some amazing weekly deals.

Check out the site if your shopping for something online. You’ll probably save money.

I got free samples through mysavings.com

January 29, 2008 by Tricia

Do you remember about a month ago I told you about a site called mysavings.com where you could get Free Stuff? Well I’d like to tell you about my experience.

I spent some time on the site going through all the different free samples that I could send for. Of course I couldn’t request all of them because some of the free samples were only for those in the US. The Mysavings.com site did make it easy for me to search for free samples that I qualified for though as there are Country icons at the top of each page. I simply clicked on the Canadian flag and it brought up items that I could request.

I can’t remember all the items I requested but I do remember asking for a free sample of Greenies – a dog treat that’s good for their teeth and that I think freshens up dog breath, a sample or two of various dog foods, three different Oil of Olay products and a sample of Garnier Fructus Shampoo or conditioner. All of those samples have arrived with the exception of the dog food samples. I’m sure they’ll come. Some of the items that I was requesting clearly stated that the samples wouldn’t arrive for four to six weeks.

Another thing that I liked about the free sample section of the site is that you can search for items by major category or by using the search box. Once you find a free sample that you’d like to apply for you just click on the link and below the sample description and link to product site you’ll see a comment section where those that have also requested the item can talk about their experiences. I found this helpful because there were a few products that people stated they’d requested months before and the samples simply hadn’t arrived. That saved me time as I decided not to even bother trying to request those samples.

If you visit the site you’ll discover that you can get all kinds of free samples. There are free samples for baby or children’s products, pet products, automotive, beauty, health and makeup, college and students, magazines, home and garden, office supplies and more.

Mysavings.com isn’t just a site with links to offers for free samples. No, not by a long shot. You’ll also find free online coupons such as printable grocery coupons, coupon codes to use at online stores, and coupons for restaurants too.

They add new coupons and free samples weekly so it’s good to visit regularly. You’ll get to try samples of products that you’ve perhaps been thinking of buying and you can save a lot of money with all those coupons.

Visit mysavings.com today and see what free samples you can get or what coupons could save you money!

Gotta work on the new sites

January 29, 2008 by Tricia

Back in April of 2007 I bought 6 new domains and I had hoped to have developed all of those sites long before now, but sadly I’ve barely had time to do much with the new sites. Well, one of the sites was for my husband Chris. It’s his new Guitarlicksandtips.com music related blog. He’s done a good job of posting articles on that site (well he’s a bit behind lately), but the rest are languishing.

I’m hoping to set aside some time later today to get to work on two of my new home and shopping related blogs. I’ve already been looking around on the internet to find some products to talk about and I came across a great sale at Kohls.com that some of you might want to take advantage of. It’s a big two day sale where you can save 60 – 80% on a number of items. Hey stop by this site first get some Kohls coupons and you’ll probably end up saving even more money!

Anyway, it’s not like the new blogs are blank or anything, but I haven’t done all that much with them. Perhaps after I do some work on some of them today I’ll be willing to let you in on their urls so that you can check them out for yourself.

Free samples and printable coupons at MySavings

December 25, 2007 by Tricia

If you enjoy shopping and saving money you should take a look at mysavings.com.

Do you use coupons when you shop in your local grocery or department stores? If you do you can get Grocery Coupons and other coupons that you can print out and use in retail stores when you visit MySavings.com.

If you’re like me and do some of your shopping online you can take advantage of the Coupon Codes that you can find on the mysavings website. They have hundreds of links to printable coupons, coupon codes to use at online stores, and even brand name Free Samples that you can try. There are even restaurant coupons that you can print out and use the next time you go out for dinner.

What I really like about the site is that you can click on the country flags at the top of the page and this will allow you to easily find deals and savings within the USA, Canada, the UK and Australia. I enjoy telling my visitors about sites where they can save money but unfortunately as a Canadian I can’t always use the sites myself.

I signed up for a free account and I was pleased to see that there were a number of coupons that were for my local area of Toronto as well as possibly hundreds of coupons, coupon codes and deals for online stores. There are a lot of free samples that I can try too. Naturally as a new puppy owner I checked out the free samples in the pets and animals category and I found a few things that I’m going to request samples of for my puppy. I’ll check out all of the other categories, particularly the Beauty, Bath and Makeup; Food and Cooking; and the home and garden categories. Might as well try out the free products, right?

If you’d like to try some free samples and possibly discover some new products, and save money when you are shopping or dinning out be sure to visit mysavings.com.

Shopping coupons and deals just in time for the holidays

November 2, 2007 by Tricia

So is everyone starting to think about shopping for the holidays? I know I am. Every time I go out to a store or even as I browse online I try to look for things that the people on my shopping list might enjoy. This might be the first year that I actually get my shopping well in advance of the holidays!

I’ve got another coupon site that you might want to take a look at. It’s called Abusaki.com and the site is filled with discount coupon codes. There are a number of well known stores listed such as Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Fredericks, Target, Overstock and more.

You can search through the site listings to find a particular store or you can browse for Coupon codes and Free Shipping offers within the category listings. Shopping categories include clothing, accessories, auto-tools, baby, books and magazines, office, toys and games, computer electronics, financial, food and wine, gifts, flowers, health and beauty, hobbies, home and garden, jewelry, movies, music, sports, fitness and travel.

One way that this site differs from other coupon sites is that you can look around the site for coupon codes that you’d like to use while you shop on line, but you don’t have to use them immediately. Nope. You can store them in a basket and use them when you are ready. Abusaki.com also clearly lists when coupons are set to expire so if you store some coupons in your basket be sure to use them before it’s too late.

If you’re starting to shop for the holidays like I am visit Abusaki and see if you can find some deals.
