"fragrance- free & dye- free" LAUNDRY on the CHEAP

Many people prefer using hypoallergenic laundry detergent that is fragrance- and dye- free.. If you are one of those people, then you already know your choices are limited.

I just found "SUN" detergent, (hypoallergenic, fragrance/dye free) in "Big Lots" for $2.75 - it says it is enough to do 48 loads.. not a bad deal- I'll try it out. If anyone uses this product, leave a comment about it!

Kids get a free "kiddie cone" upon request @ Participating McDonald's

Was in McDonald's getting a Strawberry Lemonade (free, courtesy of a coupon), and I saw a sign that said kids can get a free ice cream "kiddie cone", upon request, on any day. This may not be a promo that all McD's participate in, but it's definitely worth asking!

SAVE $$$: Bring your own snacks/ lunch/ drinks

During a typical work week (or school week)- Do you frequently get breakfast from the local bagel shop? Lunch from the local deli, or pizza place? Buy a bottle or two of water on the way to the gym? If you add up the $$ you spend on these things, it may surprise you.


If it fits your schedule, it may save you money to bring your lunch, eat breakfast at home, and/ or carry a reusable travel mug or water bottle with you.

You may want to consider getting a lunch bag or cooler, reusable water bottle, travel mug, ice packs, food storage containers (sandwich size and a bigger size for bringing leftovers or salad).

Think it over. (It's also environmentally-friendly to use more reusable items).

There are instructions on the site that explain how to figure out sizes. I liked the virtual try-on feature, where you upload a photo to see what some of the frames would look like on you. 

Pathmark and Waldbaums- TRIPLE coupons this weekend- May 14 & 15th

Old Navy coupon alert: 50% off one regular-priced item; May 13- 15

On Thursday, May 12, the "Oprah Winfrey Show" was a "makeover extravaganza.." Sometimes there are coupons on the Oprah website that are related to the topic of the show that day- so can you guess what the coupon is??.... (yes, I know the answer is written in the post title...)

Click on the link below for a printable coupon for Old Navy for 50% off any regular-priced item purchased in-store. I guess the point is that you can get a wardrobe makeover without spending a lot.

The coupon is good from May 3 to May 15- so hurry if you want new summer clothes for half-off.

FREE piece of chocolate each month @ Godiva

One day I was at the mall with a friend of mine (you know who you are..), and she said "let's go into the Godiva store, and get a free chocolate sample." And I didn't know anything about this freebie opportunity, but now I do. Yay free chocolate!
If you have a Godiva store close by, you can go in and sign up for their chocolate rewards club (it's free to sign up). THEN- the yumminess starts. Once a month you can get a piece of chocolate for free.. The cashier just needs to scan your rewards card, and then you choose from a bunch of truffles, or cherry cordials or whatever they let you pick from. Voila; FREE chocolate. There are other assorted perks for joining their club and you can click here for more info at Godiva.com
My recent favorite was a marzipan-filled truffle. Delicious! And then I went off to the Teavana store for a sample of tea.

exercise attire and accessories at Marshalls

Just had to share this:
Marshalls has a whole bunch of exercise accessories right now, including exercise balls, resistance bands, walking poles, thigh toners, weights, yoga blocks (have no idea what those are for..), yoga mats... and lots of athletic clothes.
Happy exercising.

(I am not promoting any specific type of exercise by posting about these products, so as with any exercise programs, consult with your physician before you begin.)

washable microfiber cleaning cloths

A few weeks ago, I picked up a 2-pack of microfiber cloths from Ace hardware (on sale for $1...) and I have to say these are awesome!! Very effective duster; Used dry, the dust is attracted to the material and doesn't come off easily, so you don't get dust flying everywhere. And it is washable. If they don't go on sale again anytime soon, the regular price was still very cheap.
The dusters with the little chenille-like strings are a similar product.. They are useful for dusting paneling, shelves, and under furniture because many come attached to a stick..

To summarize=  less $$ spent on the popular disposable dusting cloths, less $$ spent on dusting sprays, less cleaning supplies to throw away.

some microfiber dusters  :)
