Get Clean Indoor Air Without Cleaning Out Your Wallet

I've never had allergies, and being a non-allergy sufferer, I always thought the only solution to wheezing and sneezing was to take an pill. A co-worker of mine set me straight the other day. He swears by a pretty cheap and easy solution for indoor allergies in the home: upgrade your furnace filter.

For most of us, our furnace is the main air filtration system in the house and according to him if you replace the standard filter with something better, it really makes a difference.

With you allergy sufferers in mind, I'm posting a chance to join Filtrete's "Clean air Club" where you'll be the first to know about any discounts and coupons they send out for their amazing filters. They cost $12, and sometimes they offer $3 coupons. That's a 25% savings!

$5 CVS Gift Card!







Thanks to MomSavesMoney.net for this fabulous CVS gift card giveaway!

Turns out, MomSavesMoney.net has a gift card but no CVS store where she lives.

Do you shop at CVS? If so, go to www.momsavesmoney.net and enter to win the gift card! There are a ton of different ways to win...

$5 coupon when you buy $15 of meat at Stop & Shop!






I've been away for a while, but have been busy scouring deals and figuring out the best way to make my blog as cool as some of my favorites like Wicked Cool Deals and The Thrifty Mama. I'll get there someday!

In the meantime, I had to share a fantastic coupon I saw on WickedCoolDeals (thanks WCD!) for $5 off of $15 of fresh meat at Stop & Shop.

She points out that they're also having an unheard of .99/ lb on split chicken breasts, so with this coupon, you could get split chicken breasts for .67 per lb.

Don't need 15 lbs of chicken? Split it with a friend!

Here's the link for the coupon again - and it's super easy to print. No hoops to jump through!

Local BlogHer MeetUp

Saturday, I went to a local BlogHer event to meet some nearby bloggers. What a fun afternoon! Here's a quick rundown and some of my favorite blogs from the event:

I was met at the door by Janice Newell Bissex, one of the women behind a fantastic healthy eating/cooking and recipe site called "Meal Makeover Moms." She's got a very professional-looking site and even her own radio show. She'll stay on my radar for sure!

Next, I met the wife of a man who was representing the "BlogHim" demographic and has a blog called "Daddy Scratches" (www.daddyscratches.com). Yes, my mind went to the gutter immediately at the thought of his blog's name, but apparently it's a reference to his scratchy face when he doesn't shave - a kid thing.

While munching on fruit salad and mingling with fellow bloggers, I heard that there was someone named "The Coupon Goddess" in the other room. She was someone I definitely had to meet.

I made a beeline for the sun porch and planted myself at a table of bloggers, including The Coupon Goddess.

Melanie, as she's known IRL is a SAHM mother of 4, who puts Coupon Mom to shame in terms of the amount of mind-blowing deals she gets each week. Her blog is primarily a journal of how and what she saves.

A typical day out for her can include spending $31.35 and saving $341.19. Seriously. She ends up getting a lot of stuff for free, but it doesn't sit in her basement, gathering dust. She supports an entire troop of soldiers in Iraq and sends them boxes of goodies each week.

She's one of these women that you just have to stop and admire. Four kids, gorgeous and polished, and she also makes this phenomenal savings sound so easy.

Some quotes from her yesterday:
"I haven't paid for a cleaning product in over 10 years."
"I actually earned $400 by shopping at the grocery store last week."

She even answered difficult questions like how to save on Kosher food and how to save on organic vegetables and meats. Watch her space. I think she's got huge potential.

Her site again is: www.thecoupongoddess.blogspot.com

Two other women at the table who have great blogs include Susan, who writes a completely charming "travel blog" that's not always about far-flung destinations (www.transienttravels.com) and Megan, who has a fun shopping blog (www.agirlmustshop.com).

I hope to get to meet all of them again soon. And,who knows? Maybe we can even work together one of these days...
