Houston Blogs: SuperSaver

Free Stuff Friday

I can't believe how fast January went by. It must be true about the saying "time flies when you are having fun." I am having too much fun with all these freebies.  Just this past week I got my hat in the mail from Trip Adviser that I posted a few months ago. It was supposed to be a shirt but they ran out and substituted with a hat instead. Below is this weeks list of freebies.

Rachael Ray - get a free sample of her dog food

Splenda with fiber - free sample

FlushEze - free sample of pet waste bags

For teens - free books, get advanced copies and write reviews

Space Camp - free poster and CD

And don't forget to stop by your local Kroger to pick up some FREE 3D glasses so you can watch the commercials during the Super Bowl.

Tis the season for germs

With kids in school I am aware they are always bringing home extra germs. You would think that by the time kids are half way through elementary school they would be more aware of healthy habits, but sadly not all kids are.

Lysol has put out a fun activity book to help teach kids (and adults) healthy habits. The activities focus on a variety of health and safety issues that are important to children today. Aimed at 6 - 9 year olds, the program allows children to engage in fun activities as they learn about various health and safety topics.

Fill out the form for your copy. Thanks goes to rbunnymom for finding this great offer.

The last January date for free Chick-fil-a

In case you have been missing out on the free breakfast Thursdays at Chick-fil-a you still have one more chance.The last free breakfast will be tomorrow, Thursday, January 29th at all greater Houston area Chick-fil-a restaurants.

January 29 - Free 3 piece Chicken minis

This is only good for stores that are open during breakfast hours, between the hours of 6:00 am - 10:30 am. No coupon necessary for this deal, just show up and get your free breakfast. Limit one per person.

Cheap Super Bowl Snacks

Of course if you know me, you know I am an avid couponer. I live for deals. Well this week a super hot deal at Target was just calling for me.

We love Digiorno pizza, but at a normal price tag of $5.50 and up, it does not makes its way into my house very often. But this week at Target, the 12 inch Digiorno pizzas are ONLY $3.99!  And what makes this an even better deal is that for each one you purchase, you also get a free 2 liter bottle of any Coke product.

So one pizza and one soda for $3.99!  There are coupons also for $5/2 pizzas, dropping the price to $1.49 each. How often can you say you can have a nice hot dinner and soda for $1.49?

Speaking of coupons, I will be holding another beginners coupon class. If you are interested in attending go here for more information and to sign up. To see more free items you can get, check out my $800 blog here.

Will you be ready in 22 days?

What happens in 22 days you ask?  That is when analog broadcasting ends. All broadcasting will be in HD and if you don't have cable or satellite service you won't be able to watch TV and more importantly you won't be able to watch channel 13.

If you don't want to make the jump to cable or satellite then you will need a converter box. You can apply for a $40 coupon to get your box cheaper. I applied for my coupon, two per house, and we got our boxes. My boxes only ended up costing about $10 each after coupon.

My kids now think we have cable since with the converter box you get so many more channels. In fact, I now have 3 channel 13's!
