Heaven Scent Crystals are Better than Candles!

I found something special this summer when I visited the California Mid State Fair! Heaven Scent sells aroma crystals in a variety of scents. They are inexpensive, last a long time, and go where candles cannot. This makes them a much better deal than candles. These aroma crystals are made from salt, that has been infused with blended oils that have a fragrance. This makes them a green product, made from very natural ingredients. I am a person who suffers from severe allergies, especially if I encounter scented products. However, I have managed to find several different kinds of aroma … Continue reading →

Wal-Mart Freebies

In my previous blog, Freebies at Target, I stated that I am trying to decide whether or not it’s worth it to spend 2-3 hours a week organizing my coupons.

I divided my groceries into two categories – food and household items. I bought $42.05 in household items for $4.20. I used 32 coupons. Here’s what I found: 10 cans of Meow Mix Cat Food for .46 … Continue reading →

Freebies at Target

Recently, a blog, written by Mary Ann Romans, “New Grocery Shopping Techniques 2” got me thinking about using coupons and if they are really worth the effort. The blog claims coupons are not worth using anymore. I currently belong to several coupon trains and cut up several newspapers inserts each week. I spend 2-3 hours a week staying organized. So I started wondering if maybe she was right so I tried a little experiment. How much can I save using as many coupons as possible? Can I still get freebies or items we use under $1? I decided to try … Continue reading →
