Finding Coupons: Contacting Manufacturers

by | , | 0 Comments

One of my favorite ways to get coupons is directly from the Manufacturers. Just about every company has a website and a lot of them have printable coupons right on their site.  What I like to do is email (or fill out their contact page) and request to be put on a mailing list for coupons or money saving offers. Most of them are very happy to do so and will even write back. But most of them I have found will mail me coupons. When you receive coupons directly from the Manufacturer,  they are usually a higher value than what you'd get in the inserts and the expiration date is a lot of times pretty far away.  Thanks another bonus so you can wait for a sale.   A lot of them will send you a...

Pictures from the Flooding in my Area

by | | 9 Comments

I've had a few people email me to see how things were going with all the flooding so I thought I'd post some pictures that we took yesterday of our neighborhood. For any of you that have read about it, we live near the Pawcatuck River.  It runs through a lot of neighborhoods around us and causing a LOT of problems.  Many streets are flooded and closed, including ours, but further down the road.  We need to take a detour just to get to town.   The sad thing is the road is probably going to be a mess when the water drains out which means these roads are going to be shut down for a while. This is my road.  I  couldn't get any closer but all that darkness in back is water.  It' goes from one...
