For the past 6 months or so I have been a Fishful Thinking Ambassador and I love it. The site is a wonderful tool and resource for getting information and activities on raising positive kids. The site works off of the 5 Fishful Ingredients which are: Optimism, Resilience, Goal Setting, Empowerment, and Emotional Awareness.
Dr. Karen Reivich, a leader in the positive psychology field, is the voice behind the Fishful Thinking website and she is wonderful to listen to and her articles are great to read. I encourage you to check out the site and browse around at the different activities available.

KRAFT FIRST TASTE
I love this site! It is a great place to learn about new Kraft items and to get coupons for free products :)
After you sign up, you will be sent a Kraft newsletter which will periodically mention new offers in it. Each time there is an offer it will either be a printable $ off coupon or a coupon for a free product which will be mailed to you (it usually also comes with $ off coupons for you to share). I have only received the free product coupons so far. After you try the new item, they do ask that you fill out a short survey on it but it is nothing to difficult or long.
Here is a list of the free products that I have tried so far with this program:
*Velveeta Shells and Cheese cups
*Wheat Thins
*DiGiorno 200 Calorie Portions pizza
*Double Stuff Oreo Cakesters
*Philadelphia cream cheese minis
*Oscar Mayer turkey bacon
*In the mail is a coupon package for- Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Turkey Pastrami, Kool-Aid Fun Fizz, DiGiorno deep dish pizza, Macaroni and Cheese Homestyle, 100 Calorie cheese packs, and Ritz Crackerfuls

MCDONALD'S SHREK CODES FOR REDBOX AND SNAPFISH *UPDATED
*Update- McDonald's is voluntarily recalling these glasses- more info will be available on this website on June 8th.
Have you purchased your Shrek glasses from McDonald's yet? I purchased one the other day for $1.99 + tax and it had two codes in it for free stuff (I am not sure if they all come with two codes or if I just got lucky) . It states that the first code unlocks a Shrek Flash Mini-Game Pack, the second code unlocks a code for a free movie rental from Redbox, and the third code unlocks a code for 25 free 4" x 6" photo prints from Snapfish.
I entered my codes in one at a time (I only had the two) and found out that you can pick any of the three items for your prize (hit the green redeem prize button after you have entered in the code and it will bring you to a screen where you can choose your prize). I now have a credit of 50 free 4" x 6" prints at Snapfish (click continue until your Snapfish account has been credited the prints)- I just have to pay shipping. If you are new to Snapfish you will also get a credit of 20 free 4" x 6" prints.
*You can also receive codes from purchasing 10 or 20 piece McNuggets.

SWAG BUCKS- EARN MONEY FOR JUST USING THE SEARCH ENGINE!
When I first heard about Swag Bucks I was very skeptical but I gave it a try and I love it! I have been doing it for about a year and I have earned 16 prizes so far.
So, what is Swag Bucks? The best way I can describe it is to equate it to Google and other search engines except with Swag Bucks when you search you can win random Swag Bucks. You then take those Swag Bucks and trade them in for prizes, including gift cards to Amazon, Target, Disney Store, etc. I usually get the Amazon $5 card which costs 450 Swag Bucks. All you have to do is download the Swag Bucks toolbar and search away!

THE BIRTHDAY BOX
I have a regular tote that I keep in my closet and I fill it with items that I find super cheap that I turn around and use as birthday presents. It has saved me countless times when my kids come home and tell me they have a birthday party they want to go to and it's tomorrow but payday is next week :) I try to keep the box stocked with both boy and girl presents.
Don't have kids at home? The birthday box is still great for those little gifts that you need for the office Christmas party, a get well gift for a neighbor or just to store presents for people that you give to every year. Either way it will save you money and time!

WELCOME POST
For the past year and add a few months, I have been using coupons and savings thousands of dollars. I continually have people ask me if I teach classes when they see me walk away with bags of groceries for pennies on the dollar.
It took me awhile but I finally broke down and decided to do a blog to help lead others to the great deals and super coupons that I always come across and not to mention the fun freebies that make going to the mailbox fun!
I plan on sharing my secrets for affording things from vacations to decorations for the home and beyond. It only makes sense or cents to spend your money wisely. Please bear with me as I set up house!
