Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd and I have a fun and very useful giveaway for you in honor of the day from Stop & Shop.  Not only is Stop & Shop committed to minimizing their environmental impact  but Stop & Shop also wants to help their customers reduce their environmental impact as well. We use reusable bags every time we shop and I really prefer them over any other bag because I also think they hold so much more.  And they are easy to pack up and then store in the car.  I always have some in the car. I posted some Tips for Going Green everyday earlier this week you may have seen and I'd love to hear some of your Green Tips as well. (1) Koupon Karen reader will win 3...

Gorton’s, a trusted leader in seafood since 1849, knows how important it is to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Yes, you read that right; 20 delectable options like Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi, Simply Bake Haddock, and Skillet Crisp Tilapia are all under 200 calories per serving. I was given the chance to take the Gorton’s Seafood Challenge and try some of the 20 options with 200 calories or less. We love shrimp so I was happy to see the Skillet Shrimp was one of the 20 with 200 calories or less. Shrimp are perfect for a quick lunch or easy dinner. We just add a veggie to the side or a baked potato...

Over the years, P&G brands like CoverGirl, Dawn, and Swiffer have received hundreds of awards from industry experts, making them some of America’s “Most Loved” home, beauty and grooming staples. These products are trusted for quality and have been passed down through the generations because they are household essentials mom can depend on to make her life a little easier. My husband and I both grew up using P&G products in our parents homes. And when we got married we both had our 'favorites' that we brought into the house. At that point I wasn't as big on brand, but more what we could afford so after a little while, I just bought whatever was on sale. When my husband would go...
