The Endangerbles Children's CD and Plush Toy Giveaway/Review
An Inspiring Children's CD that teaches them to “respect and protect all the species of the world including each other" is the mission of The Endangerbles. I was given a wonderful opportunity to review this CD and can't wait to share it with you all.

About The Endangerbles:http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Its endearing cast of animal characters effectively entertain and educate children of all ages about the wonderful world of animals, specifically relating to those that are endangered, threatened or vulnerable.
The Endangerbles music CD features 10 original upbeat songs, all composed by Fred Bogert, the three-time Emmy-nominated musician-performer widely acclaimed for his musical contributions to the popular kids-based folk-rock duo Trout Fishing In America. Its ten songs include Endangerbles Theme Song, Extinction for Extinction, Absolutely Positively, Reason to Be Here, Girls Rock & Rule, Response-Ability, Puzzle, Breath of Life Island, and Crocodile Shoes.

My children loved the upbeat songs and were singing along in no time, dancing around and acting silly. The wonderful message that is told in the songs made it even more valuable to me. I feel like the kids enjoyed the songs but they were also learning in the process. I have to say that my girls favored the Girls Rock & Rule song the most though. The songs were easy to understand and got the point across easily enough for young ones to understand the importance of protecting life.

I have been given an opportunity to do a giveaway to one lucky winner, but all entrants to the Endangerbles promotional giveaway will receive an email with a link to where you can download a free mp3 of the Endangerbles theme song “Extinction for Extinction.” All entrants need to do is visit The Endangerbles website, http://www.endangerbles.com/, and sign up to become a Deputy (all free!) and select “SSA” as the option where you heard about The Endangerbles.

Ebay and coupon clippers from my point of view :-)

2011-06-01T03:20:00.000-07:00

Okay I have to admit I never seen anything wrong with buying coupons from Ebay or Coupon clipping services until I started to think about how the people on Ebay and coupon clipping services get their coupons. I can't say all of the folks on Ebay are stealing inserts out of newspapers to cut up and sell coupons on Ebay. But I don't know where they buy their inserts from or how they get the massive amounts of valuable coupons. I'm not accusing anyone of doing that but I know alot of people probably do wonder just where they get their coupon inserts.

I know there are some places on the web like Wholecouponinserts.comn and other places that sell whole coupon inserts. I just wonder what sorta deal they have with the local paper guy/gal to be able to get the insets? Or do they dumpster dive for the inserts at the local recycling place?

While I was talking to the Iams representative, I'd mentioned that I'd seen the high dollar coupons for Iams up for sale on Ebay. She said she wished there was a way for them to track the coupons because some unscrupulous people will call in and get coupons and just turn right around and sell them for BIG Profit on Ebay.

I seen where six coupon for a FREE Bag of IAMS dog food up the the 40lb size bidding was already at $52 for those coupon. Even after the EBAY and Paypal fees, I'm sure that comes out to a tidy little profit for that person since I seen they had SEVERAL of the same auctions listed. Not bad for some coupons that the seller probably picked up from his/her local veterinarian for nothing. But that leaves the rest of the veternarian's clients unable to take advantage of the great IAMS coupon unless they buy them from Ebay or contact IAMS for their coupon.

She also pointed out that even if the person says that the bidder is paying for the time and "effort" to collect and organize the coupons that the fine print in the coupon states that the coupons AREN'T to be bought, sold, or traded or the coupon is void.

Sorta hard to crack down on Ebay or coupon clipping services from a company stand point, in my opinion, since it would be hard to prove where the coupon clipping service or the individual got the coupon inserts from in the first place.

I do agree that if companies see more and more of their high dollar coupons up for sale on places like Ebay or coupon clipping services that we may see more of a backlash against HONEST coupons in the form of tighter coupon restrictions (more of the 4 per transaction) or lower value coupons instead of the bountiful high value coupons we are able to get right now.

I'm not gonna say I won't ever not use Ebay or trades on coupon websites or the coupon clipping services but I might think twice about it. Maybe see if I can get the coupons another way like dumpster diving for the inserts myself or posting on Craigslist that I'm in search of coupons that people aren't going to use. :-)

What do you think of buying coupons from Ebay or coupon clipping services? :-)

Companies I contacted today

2011-06-01T02:29:00.000-07:00

Okay so I'm trying to upgrade my three dog's food from the normal store brand sorta dog food (with ground corn as 1st ingredient) up to a more premium sorta dog food.

With that in mind, I did a Swag bucks search for FREE Dog Food samples and coupons.

I've already contacted Iams dog food and found out that Chicken or Beef was the first ingredient in their dog foods and that the animal by products are ONLY Organ meat (no crazy fillers like beaks, hooves, chicken feet, or feathers)

The customer service representative I talked with was VERY knowledgable about their products and after asking some basic questions about my dogs Pixie (1 and 1/2 yr old Chiweenie aka Dachshund/Chiwawa mix) Niaha (senior dog about 9 yrs old Heinz 57 mix) and Angel (senior 9 yr old Dachshund) She recommended the Iams® Premium Protection™ Senior Dog for the two older dogs because it had glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for their joints and to make them less stiff in the morning. She recommended the Iams® Premium Protection™ Adult Dog for Pixie.

The representative let me know that Iams stands behind their product 100% for example if your dog turns its nose up at their product and won't eat it at all or if there is any sorta problem with the food, they will send out a replacement voucher or Refund your money. I thought that was just a really cool thing for Iams to do and it set my mind to ease about trying their products on my dogs.

She also let me know that you can request coupons from Iams once every 3 months, so I'm going to be marking the August 30 on my calendar to be calling Iams back up for some more coupons.

I also called Purina today and explained I was looking for better food than what I was feeding my dogs now. I asked for coupons and any samples they could send me. No on the samples but was promised coupons to arrive shortly to my address. :-)

I also inquired on how often you could request coupons and the representative told me I could call once a month to get more coupons. That's good since I'll probably be getting the largest bag of the dog food to last the month and will need more coupons towards the end of the month. :-)

The last company I called about coupons was Poise. I have a relative who has a moderate bladder control problem and I was looking for coupons to help her out. BTW the Whoopi Goldberg commercials are hilarious in my opinion. :-)

I was able to score some REALLY cheap 3 Poise 20 pack pads at CVS for ONLY $1.47 each the other day. I spent around $4 for 3 of the Poise pads, 1 of the 60 count CVS size 3 diapers, and 8 of the Air Wick single oil warmer refills after using all my Airwick Qs and the $5/$25 CVS purchase coupon AND I made $10 ECBs since I had a Raincheck for the Airwick merchandise.

I love my CVS manager The Raincheck was for the Airwick 2 pack oil warmer refills but the only ones they carried were the lavender ones (YUCK have had enough of that scent)So she let me get the singles that were on sale $2/5 and said I could get the ECBs as long as I bought $20 in Airwick merchandise. So YAY me I got the $10 ECBs and only spent around $4 for it. :-)

Anyways back to the Poise conversation I had with the representative, she promised to send me coupons for my relative. So a pretty productive coupon day.

So remember those 1-800 customer service numbers are there for a reason, utilize them to get coupons. Its one of those if you don't ask for them, you never know if you will be given coupons or not till you ask for them.

Remember every call to a customer service line doesn't have to be a gripe or complaint about a product. I've gotten coupons from companies for singing their praises and letting the company know how much I enjoyed their product.

For example, I called the Simply Asia company about a month or so ago and was telling them how my mother and myself really enjoyed the General Tsao's Stir fry sauce since we aren't able to afford to go out to eat at Chinese restaurants like we used to and how their sauce was EVEN Better than any Chinese restaurant we had gone to in the past.

They sent me 2 coupons each for the Simply Asia and 2 for their Thai Pad products. Each set was one FREE product and one 50 cents off of the Simply Asia and the Thai Pad products.

Okay I've been slack but I'm back :-)

2011-06-01T02:24:00.001-07:00

Hi to everybody :-)

I admit it I've been slack about posting to my blog I mean the last post was back in June of 2010

Yikes What can I say? Except life caught up with me and by the time I thought about blogging well I just didn't have the energy to do it.

I think I'm going to turn this blog into more of a personal Great Deals I've found on the Web journal more than a oooohhhh you gotta check this out sorta blog.

More of a relaxed come on in and check out what I've done thing rather than a OMG I've gotta find ALL the Deals on the Web or no one will read this type of blog lol

How to use +UP Rewards to lower your Out of Pocket expenses

2010-07-11T17:45:00.000-07:00

Okay one GREAT thing about the +UP rewards is that you can use the +UP Reward to lower the amount of money you spend out of pocket.

For Example, at the beginning of July there was a $10 +UP Reward when you bought 4 of the John Freida Products.

So for the first transaction it was like this
4 X John Freida Products (2 of the Frizzease and 2 of the Root Awakening Products)

I used the following coupons AND My Wellness Plus card to spend less money Out of pocket to begin with.

2 X $3/1 off of John Frieda Root Awakening product
2 X $2/1 off of John Frieda Products Excluding Root Awakening
$5/$20 purchase Video Value coupon

So My OOP Was about $10 + Tax BUT I earned a $10 +UP Reward So really I only bought the John Frieda for the amount of the tax.

On the next transaction, I used the $10 +UP reward to only spend $4.11 OOP instead of the $14.11 it would have been if I hadn't had the +UP Reward.

4 X John Freida Products (2 of the Frizzease and 2 of the Root Awakening Products)
2 X Stayfree 24 count with Bonus 8 pads (BOGO Free Sale)
2 X Lay's Chips (BOGO FREE Sale)
1 X Marlboro Special Blend Cigarettes

I used the following coupons
2 X $3/1 off of John Frieda Root Awakening product
2 X $2/1 off of John Frieda Products Excluding Root Awakening
1 X Stayfree BOGO FREE Coupon (makes BOTH of the Stayfree pads FREE)
Wellness Plus $10 +UP Reward
50 cents off of $5 Snack Wellness coupon
$5/$25 purchase Video Value coupon

Total OOP Was Only $14.11 for BOTH Transactions and earned me ANOTHER $10 +UP Reward
for a future purchase.

Coupon clipping services On Ebay.com and on the web

2010-06-28T00:35:00.000-07:00

Okay when I first started clipping coupons and heard about coupon clipping services, I thought NO WAY was I ever going to actually PAY for coupons. But 3 months later, I realized what a time saving economical service they provided. :-)

For example, I just recently spent $36.15 for 50 of the $2/1 Pampers 60+ count wipes coupons (that is from 3 Ebay.com auctions and that includes the shipping and handling) So i spent 72 cents per coupon.

So I had 50 Pampers wipes coupons that I used at Wal-Mart to buy 50 Pampers wipes (which only costs $1.97 at Wal-Mart) so I only had to pay for the tax on the wipes.

50 Pampers wipes = $98.50
- $40.65 ($36.15 + $5.91 in tax)
Savings of $63.76 overall

Now if I had been able to purchase the coupons through a coupon clipping service INSTEAD of thru Ebay.com where I was bidding on the coupons I would have spent less per coupon.

Normally, most coupon clipping services normally charge anywhere from 5-20 cents per coupon depending on the value of the coupon.

BTW You are not actually buying coupons from the coupon clipping services on Ebay or on the web, you are paying for their time and effort to collect the coupons you are wanting.

UPDATE:Recyclebank Problem with Flipswap Points

2010-03-11T14:11:00.000-08:00

WOW Talk about QUICK customer service

I was on the phone about 3pm this afternoon with the customer service woman expecting to have to fight for my missing points and SURPRISE she AUTOMATICALLY just added my missing points for me.

GREAT Customer service and turns out that they have been having a lot of complaints like mine about the Flipswap people offering one thing and than not wanting to give the customer the points.

If you turned in a cell phone to Flipswap and are missing your points, just call Recyclebank's customer service number at 1-888-727-2978

The customer service woman was REALLY nice and very understanding about the situation.

Recyclebank Problem with Flipswap Points

2010-03-11T14:09:00.000-08:00

Okay I figured I would check out Recyclebank.com and see how many points I would get for turning in some of my old cell phones.

I filled out the information they asked me about the make, model and condition of the phone (Razur) with cosmetic damage to the case and water damage (nephew threw it in our toilet)

Well long story short THEY said it was worth a total of 204 points, I figured great that would be 4 of the $4/20 CVS rewards deals (I would have sent for 1 each month since you can't redeem more than one per month)

I just got an e-mail stating:

We wanted to update you that the device you sent to Flipswap for recycling has been received and reviewed. However, the device received by Flipswap did not match with what was submitted at RecycleBank.com for the following reason:

The condition stated did not match.

We have credited your account 10.0 RecycleBank Points as a thank you for helping keep your electronic device out of the landfill and recycling with us.

You can see this Points credit reflected now in your Account at Recyclebank.com.

Grrrrrrr When I read that I was sooo mad I could of Spit nails!! I feel like it was a bait and switch sorta situation. I've already sent them an email telling them EXACTLY that. And that I didn't appreciate them backing out of what they had promised. I want the points they promised or I'm calling the BBB on them. It's not like they just took off 10 to 20 points for one reason or another. They took over 190 points away from what the ORIGINAL quote was!!

I'll update later about what they tell me or if me and RecycleBank can come to a compromise about this or not.

thanks from Jamie

OMG All I can Say Is SCORE lol

2010-03-09T16:37:00.000-08:00

Okay I went shopping at a couple different Walmarts yesterday. I found a couple of different desk type calendars marked down from like $5 down to $1.50 to $2.50 at the first WalMart (Smithfield, NC) true the calendars were good from August of 2009 till July of 2010 but I figure I can use white out to use the 2009 pages for this year instead of throwing them out

The Biggest score was finding a 18 month desk type Calendar for ONLY 2 CENTS I thought that it was a mistake but I had the guy in the electronics area scan it for me and YEP YEP it was only 2 whole Pennies I now have (2) of the desk type calendars on the wall next to my computer desk now (one for trains/auctions/RAOKs etc I've received and one for Envies/RAOKS/Trains I've Sent out

I found a couple different Wallets marked down from $5 to just A DOLLAR (insert picture of me drooling) Sorry Wallets are my weakness In the jewelry part, I found these ADORABLE Lionel Train keychains (both the picture insert kind of keychains and soft rubber Oooohhh soooo cute Teddy Bear Conductor Keychains for just a QUARTER Each!!) and Marked down jewelry.

I was passing out business cards about WUC and pretty soon I was out of the dozen or so business cards I'd brought with me. So I started writing on spare pieces of paper and even gave one worker the WUC web addy on a scrap piece of cardboard from the box she was stocking toothpaste out of

I was leaving WalMart and was returning the cart to the corral things in the parking lot when I spotted an aluminum can in the parking lot already crushed. I snatched it up and was sorta laughing when I said it was money not trash to an older lady who was walking past me. She laughed said she agreed about that and I went on to start telling her about WUC and how I was saving money using more coupons and trading and riding coupon trains.

That's when I gave her the business card with WUC addy and she dropped a bomb on me Saying she had been saving aluminum cans at her house since her son (I think) had been 12 and he was now about 20 some years old. And she asked me if I wanted them! I said I sure would go out to her home and pick up the aluminum cans from her house I have no ideal if its 4 bags of cans or if its an entire garage full of cans I just know that they're free to me

I've got her home address and her cell number, I'll call her today and see when is a good time to come by and pick up the aluminum cans. I'll be going straight from her home to the recycling center

I thought we were through talking and she started to walk off towards her Cadillac when she turned back around and asked if me, my sister, and our friend Heather wanted some clothes she was gonna take to the Salvation Army. We said sure and went over to her Caddy and she proceeded to give us a bunch of clothes. The day had started off pretty crappy for Heather because she had a blow out early that morning but she ended up with at least half a dozen different pieces of clothes for work including a LAMBSKIN Leather Jacket!!!

Mrs Massengil was just a REALLY Cool older lady that I never would have met if it wasn't for WUC So THANK YOU for making this Website

Angel Food Ministries Coupons

2009-12-30T06:20:00.000-08:00

OMG I LOVE Retailmenot.com

I almost DIDN'T Look up Angel Foods Ministries for a coupon on there because I was figuring that since their food boxes were at such ROCK bottom prices ALREADY that there WOULDN'T be a Coupon.

Silly Me I Found TWO COUPONS!!

I would cut and paste these coupons EXACTLY as they are here. :-)

NEWYEAR5 takes 5% off the Signature Box of Angel Food Ministries.
HURRY Though its only good for the first 2000 users.

SURFNTURF takes $2 off when ordering BOTH the Seafood Box and the Premium Meat Box on one order.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I seen this comment under the SURFNTURF coupon. ... gotta read it clearly. In order to get the $2 you need to buy two specific boxes. The Box #4 Seafood Pack AND the Special #4 Premium Meat Box. So it boils down to $2 off your $67 total.

ALSO ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE Is to MAKE sure your LOCAL Angel Food Ministry accepts the coupon! It may be JUST an ONLINE Coupon. When in Doubt, ASK your Local Angel Food Ministry.

ALWAYS Try the ACTIVE Coupons First, than you can try the less reliable coupons next.

I just seen at the VERY bottom of the list of coupons that you can now Sign up for E-mail Alerts when NEW coupons for your store are available.

That makes it EASIER for Slackers like me to get my coupons and codes and NOT be tied to my computer always checking the Retailmenot.com site!!
