This week’s letter comes from one of my most dedicated readers. She frequently comments on my entries (this always scores big points with me!) and she sent me some great tips that I wanted to share with all of you. Please keep those reader tips coming! They make this segment of my blog so much better!
Amy-
Just wanted you to know you’ve given me another reason to love Fridays!
My weekly “reward” to myself when I go grocery shopping is the weekly issue of “Quick and Simple” by Good Housekeeping. It’s the greatest! And this week’s issue (with chocolate on the cover) has a whole page of freebies! There are 25 in all and some of the products are right up your alley!
Also, another way to get freebies…when you use a product and LOVE it…call the 1 800 on the box and tell them! I did this when my laundry detergent got my sons bloody nose off his brand new pj’s. I called ERA and they sent me a new Swiffer duster just for commenting! I just tried the Tide to go stick and I’m crazy about it so I’m calling them next!
Thanks Amy!!!

Monica, over at the Homespun Heart, shared some of her freebies this week on her blog. Be sure to read her entry on all the goodies she scored and how she does it!

If you missed my past blog entry on Folgers Gourmet Coffee, they are now offering it through the Walmart freebies. Be sure to get one of these!
This freebie was posted in the past, but my mom wanted me to post it again. She works as an optical technician and if interest in this free program subsides, there is a good possibility that they will no longer be offering it. Bausch & Lomb offer a Wear & Care Program for people who wear contact lenses. You receive twelve free contact lens cases & lens replacement calendar stickers, a Wear & Care DVD, care & cleaning mirror sticker, and a free sample of Baush & Lomb ReNu MultiPlus lubricating & rewetting drops. I have received this freebie and it is wonderful! It is definitely worth taking advantage of!
