Mojosavings

When I first decided to learn how to use coupons I searched the web and found http://www.mojosavings.com/ . I love this site. It is full of tips on how to use coupons to get the best deals. Also on the site is a list of coupon blogs. These people really know what they are talking about. They break down how to get the best deals at places like CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and Target. Also most of them are from all over the country so stores like Public are also on there.

In the middle of the page are the more popular deals. Like free samples and how to get stuff free from different stores using coupons. If you friend Mojosavings on facebook it will list the best deals right on your page. I use my Iphone to facebook so all I have to do is scroll down the deals. I have learned what great deals you can get at CVS buying the things I have always bought. I just never bought them at CVS.

Mojosavings led me to other ways to make money, like Swagbucks and MyPoints. Both great ways to make money doing nothing but what you do anyway, like surf the web and buy things online.

Now I just go to the blogs written by the people who know how to save money and read them so I know what I need to be doing. The other thing I learned is that not all stores will take computer generated coupons so check with them before trying. You might need to just go ahead and buy the Sunday paper so you have the real ones. CVS does take computer coupons but a store here in Oklahoma that does not is Crest. But then again Crest has great deals without coupons too.

Kara? Really?

I just want to say I am so excited about Ellen joining the show. I can't wait to see her when she finally joins the show. I really think Ellen is a good choice. She is to funny. She knows how to tell it how it is but in a nice way.

Until then I just want to say Kara works my nerves. Always with the same response "Honey, I just don't think this is for you" "Honey, you look nice but I don't think". Kara you don't think, you look around for one of the other judges to have an opinion and jump on that, even if they ask you first you go with what you think they will say then once someone else makes a comment you jump on that band wagon.

Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest. I am going to miss Simon so much. He is funny. Sometimes he is a bit much, but he is honest. I think he is gonna miss Paula, which I know I will. I loved Paula. I hope she does join his new show!!!

Here is to the new season, and possibly the last good season. Without Simon and with Kara, I don't know how far Idol can make it!!!
