CVS Brand Vitamins & Supplements Review & Giveaway (ends 1/14)

Saving money is a priority for most now a days but sometimes we all need to buy things whether we have the extra money to or not, right?  What things am I talking about?  I'm talking about Health Care products - when we are sick, we need medicine but to possibly avoid getting sick, we should be taking Vitamins and supplements to help ward off illness, right?  But they cost so much!!!

Choffy Review & Giveaway (ends 1/7)

Choffy is brewed chocolate!  100% premium cocoa beans roasted and ground to create a rich drink that provides long-lasting energy and whole body wellness. Richer and more robust than hot chocolate, it brews just like coffee. But unlike coffee, it supplies you with long-lasting energy without the crash or other negative effects of caffeine. In fact, the only thing that’s addictive about it is the taste! I love coffee and I love chocolate but I don't like chocolate flavored coffee and I thought that is what this was, but it's not!  It's much better than that and it is also hard to compare it to hot chocolate because there is so much more flavor to it.  It was good and I've been enjoying it...

Aldi’s New Years Celebration Shopping Trip

Aldi’s New Years Celebration Shopping Trip

My mother was so excited when Aldi opened up right down the street from her house.  I had never even been to one before but she started shopping there faithfully and still does a few years later.  Obviously since I'm Koupon Karen, my mother has learned to use coupons and shop for the best deals each week.  So when she told me she shopped there all the time and that they don't take coupons, I was upset she was paying too much.  Until I finally went shopping with her and saw that wasn't the case at all! Since then I too have been hooked. I don't shop at Aldi on a regular basis but I do shop there a lot especially when I have to shop for a gathering at my house. I always go to Aldi first to...

Create with the Tapefetti Tape Art Kit

Create with the Tapefetti Tape Art Kit

My girls love playing with tape.... just plain ole tape.  They will cut pieces of paper and tape them onto another piece of paper to create a collage or another picture.   It's cute and while the tape is pretty much wasted on what they use it for, they have fun and on a rainy day they need something to keep them busy.... so it works. Well now that has all changed with Tapeffiti because this tape can be used to create all sorts of fun things.  I have a feeling that they are going to have lots of fun with this over Winter Break and it'll probably be all used up by the time they get back to school!  But it'll be fun and creative so I'm all for it! Forget plain boring tape in your next craft...
