TV Converter Box

We got ours today and the channels are soooo clear! You don't get very many, but better than paying money for cable! We spent $10 on it after the coupon. You can go here and sign up for it and find out more information.

Potty for the car!

Very neat invention! I definitely want one!

It never hurts to ask!

I have a Price Pfister faucet and the soap dispenser broke and the sprayer is getting stuck when I use it and I called the company today and they are sending a replacement for free! I was so glad I called!

I also learned with our Radio Flyer wagon...the wheel was broke, and instead of buying a new wagon, all I had to do was call Radio Flyer and buy a replacement for I think it was $7!

And we have the Leap Frog Fridge Alphabet thing, and my son had thrown away some letters and they were only $1 a piece and no shipping fee through Leap Frog!

I also have a porcelain sink and it had scratches on it (I thought) so I called Kohler (name brand of the sink) to see how much it would cost to buy touch up paint or something and they sent me a free sample of this cleaner which cleans off the "scuff marks." Unless you can feel the scratch then it isn't a scratch!

So it never hurts to call the manufacturer!

Coupon Mom

I finally took the time to watch her video and read her free book thing and I was surprised how much I learned! It seems smart to get at least 2 papers every Sunday...I pay around $1.50 I think for one paper (I only get Sundays). That way you have double the coupons! I even read some mom's get 10 papers! One for each member of the family!

And save all the coupons because each week she sends an email if you sign up for the newsletter telling you the things that are cheap and what week and which circular (Ex. smart source, redplum, P&G) the coupon was in. That way you don't buy things unless they are on sale and save even more. A lot of times you can make money with the coupons that you normally wouldn't cut out when Walgreen's or CVS has things for free. If you haven't took time already to look at her website...do- it will save you tons!

And on the website...www.mommysavesbig.com you can type in any product or store coupon you are looking for and most likely find a coupon for it.

Coupon's Mom website is: http://www.couponmom.com

Good article on saving money!

Advance Auto Parts

My friend told me that if you have a check engine light on in your car, just stop by here and they hook up the machine and tell you what is wrong for free! They won't turn off your light, but at least you know what is wrong without waiting forever at a car mechanic shop especially when they are closed early on a Saturday! I tried it today and it was very quick and simple! Very good thing to know I thought...(Thanks Michelle)!

And the Good Year next to Ross in Cobblestone price matches...I brought in a coupon for a free oil change the other day and they even matched that! I got my tires from there (cheapest) and they price matched the lifetime rotation and balance from Walmart since it is cheaper there. It is more convenient cuz you can shop at Ross while you wait!

Mormons: Myths and Reality

Using the Internet for GOOD!

The guy who made this temple video created it in response to Elder Ballard's Ensign article to use the internet for good. I think its awesome! And there was a link below to this Glenn Beck movie...definitely worth watching. AND there are NO commercials. :)

Library

I forgot to mention to that if the library doesn't have something you want you can request it for them to purchase or do an interlibrary loan...they bought the Work and the Glory's because I requested it...but I get a lot of interlibrary loans.

And we just watched the best series! Janette Oke's book series...Love Comes Softly was turned into movies and they were so good...very clean. Here is the website to get them...the library has all of them except the last 2. One was just released this year so I am not sure if the other 2 will be released or not. But we really enjoyed watching them...

Limelight Theatre

Hey all,

I work at the Limelight Theatre in uptown St. Augustine. This season we will offer five Main Stage shows, four Studio shows and four children's shows. For our Main Stage and Studio shows, we have a preview night performance. Preview nights are always the Thursday before opening night. Previews are only $10, and they are a great way to check out a live show for an inexpensive price. Our Terrific Tuesdays are always the first Tuesday after opening weekend, and tickets on these Tuesdays are 2 for $25. Children's show ticket prices vary, and are usually a little less expensive than the regular season. Feel free to call the Limelight at 825-1164 and ask for me and I'd be happy to send you our schedule. We are a wonderful organization, and I'm so happy to work there. My favorite part of the job is the kids, and watching their faces when the magic of live theatre appears before their eyes. It's awesome. I invite you all to stop in, even if you can't make it to a show, I'd be happy to give you a tour and talk about the theatre.

FREE BOOKS FOR NEWBORNS!

I copied this from the library's website, you can find out more info by going to it and clicking on the link...www.sjcpls.org

FREE books for newborns! We are partnering with other community organizations to bring the Dolly Parton Imagination Library to St. Johns County! All children born after April 30, 2008 and residing in St. Johns county are eligible to receive FREE hardcover books each month until they reach age five! Visit any branch of the library system to register your child or download a pdf registration form now!

Library/Redbox

The library is a great place to get movies! It has saved us so much money! They get all the new movies every Tuesday (the release date for movies, and you can usually sign up a week before for it so you are on the hold list. They also have a Library Elf thing that lets you know when they are due back so you don't forget! They let you customize it how you want. It takes a little getting use to, but you won't never have to spend another dollar on a movie again! They let you keep it for 3 days! Thursday is the best day to pick them up because they are closed on Sunday, so they aren't due back until Monday! AND you just have to have it in the night drop before they open the next day which is 10 am....

You can sign up on their website...www.sjcpls.org to receive a calendar of events so you know what is going on. There is a branch on the Island, Southeast, Hastings, I think in Ponte Vedra and one in town off of US 1...And you can return the movies to ANY branch...even in Jacksonville (as long as it is in St Johns County). You can sign up for the newsletter and they will send you an email when they have the new movies in the system and what they are (but most of the time they have them in there before they send it).

You can also sign up for a text message at Redbox's website and you get a free movie rental every Monday-they send you a code!! You can't reserve a movie online though, you have to do it in person.

FYI-IF you can't figure out how to post....you click the comments and post your comment-I have it set up where everyone can see it and just click on comments to view them..it will say 0 comments, 1 comment....! It's easy!

Sea World FYI

Most of you may know but just in case you don't Sea World gives free admission to military and teachers...you can see below, I copied it from a website, and you should call Sea World to clarify. I know people that has done both, but always call to make sure in case things change.

Budweiser is honored to salute the men and women of our armed forces and their families. Throughout 2008, members of the military and as many as three direct dependents may enter any one of Anheuser-Busch's SeaWorld, Busch Gardens or Sesame Place parks with a single-day complimentary admission.

For your service and sacrifice, we thank you.
