Catch of the Day 3/9

easternshoremom — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:17:54 +0000

Barnes and Noble has released some new coupons that are valid until 3/15. With Spring knocking on the door, now is a great time to stock up on some good books to read on the beach. I am a big fan of shopping for books used, HOWEVER I also know the feeling of being so excited when a new book just came out and can’t wait to read it! Hopefully these coupons will ease the pain of those high priced, hard cover, irresistable new books.

Rite Aid Prescription Coupon

easternshoremom — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 05:05:56 +0000

There is a new coupon available on Coupons.com for $25 Rite Aid Gift Card when you transfer a prescription. I know a lot of you get the most for your money by swapping drug stores every time you need a refill, and get gift cards from these deals.

I noticed at CVS last week a sign about “matching competitor’s prescription coupons” and I want to know if any of you have tried using a coupon like this from Rite Aid at CVS and them accepting it and giving you a $25 CVS gift card?

The pharmacy is closed now but I am going to call my local CVS tomorrow and ask ;) I will report back!

Where in the world is ESM?

easternshoremom — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:42:45 +0000

Where in the world is ESM? Well, I announced a few days ago on the ESM Facebook Page that I was moving. Don’t worry- same city, different house. The move went smoothly I will add and we are settling in nicely into our new place. I am exhausted, however, from work-school- then rushing home to move everything from one house to another. We got everything in the new place in record time and now I am trying to recouperate and get settled in. Most of you that have been hanging around here for a while know that I am an OCD freak about things being clean and organized so this disorganization of things is driving me NUTTY! I am still battling this awful sicknesss from the past weekend so I need to get my rest after a really long day. Excuse my absence y’all- I promise I would rather be blogging. I will be back tomorrow as soon as I am done getting settled in and shouldn’t miss a beat for the rest of the week.

I can’t log on and do a post without sending a few great deals your way! Here are a few that have come across my email today:

FREE Sample Crest White Strips

$1/1 Johnson’s Baby Product (This should get you free buddy soap at Walmart and Target)

FREE Sample of Lever 2000

FREE Sample of The Mystical Monkey All Purpose Cleaner

FREE Sample of Dunkin Doughnuts Turbo Coffee

Don’t forget- where there is a FREE sample there is usually a really great high value coupon for you to buy their product as well!

Introducing “Moneyless Monday”

easternshoremom — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 02:32:17 +0000

What if for just one day a week you made a concious effort to stop swiping that card or hold on to that cash? A release from the stress of paying bills and how much money is being spent that day, how great of a day would that be?

Introducing a new series on EasternShoreMom called Moneyless Monday. I am challenging y’all along with myself to have one day a week where I don’t spend any money at.all!

I am so excited about this new series. It is going to be a challenge for me as well as I am sure for some of you all. As a working mother, student, etc. it is so easy to stop by the drive through or forget to get gas or run by the 711 for a Coke and all of those charges add up to be one LARGE bill for just a Monday! Monday’s are the worst days for me, still in weekend mode and there is always so much to do on a Monday that there never seems to be enough time in that day. By the time Monday has come and gone I am already behind and it sets the tone for the rest of the day. So alng with my “Moneyless Monday” challenge I am making a personal effort to organize my Mondays a little better so they will go smoothly. We will see how it goes.

Some questions I have received about “Moneyless Monday” pertain to the loss of jobs because I am not spending money on Mondays. Well, one might argue that because I am slimming down my budget I am putting people out of work or because I am buying things on sale instead of full price I am putting people out of work. There comes a point where I have to focus on how much I am spending versus stimulating the economy. Also, I will still be purchasing and paying my bills, just not on Mondays!

Here are a couple tips I have come up with to help you survive “Moneyless Monday”

Over the weekend be sure to schedule payments for bills and get gas in your car so you won’t find yourself on ‘E’ and cheat on MM
Use FREE meal coupons that you may have for fast food restaurants if you have to get lunch out
Pack leftovers from weekend meals for lunch and be sure to pack a water bottle or drinks from your fridge
Be sure to have snacks/drinks for the kids to avoid “I am hungry!” situations (A coworker of mine calls them “snack packs” and she builds a snack baggy out of ziplocs and her child’s favorite snacks. She keeps them at arms reach and some at work for when she picks him up in the afternoon.)
Instead of spending your lunch break walking around Target (I am speaking to myself) try taking a walk in the streets around your office or bring a book to read

I am so exciting about this- I can’t wait to see how it goes. I am starting a forum topic on the EasternShoreMom Chit Chat Community for Moneyless Monday tips and tricks. Be sure to join me over there and talk about the strides and struggles of Moneyless Monday!
