Iheartthemart.com

Iheartthemart.com is promoting a great thing especially in area that do not do double or triple coupons. They are signing an online petition for walmart to do double coupons days. YAY!!! I just signed and hope they will bring doubling to Florida! Between Price matches and (if this goes through) I might shop more at Walmart again.

Reached my goal!!!!!

My goal was to get 450 swag bucks for a $5 gift card for Amazon. Today I reached that goal,  Score!!!! I will be getting some much needed baseball card holders. Also, personal score, I was able to teach my mother how to coupon using the simplest and fastest way I know. Through the Southern Saver and Coupon Mom systems. Just put the date on the inserts put them in their own special box and when you need to go to the store go to either one of the sites, and click the store and yours list. The list will tell you what coupon you need to get from what insert (that is why you put the dates on the inserts) and you done. You could even Label the box with the cover page I designed for the Binders, so you can always find it. (and everyone knows not to touch the box with the green picture and the lady. lol)

Tanga

Tanga is now offering a DenTek Complete White Professional Whitening Kit for $2.99! The DenTek Complete White Kit will give you professional level whitening in 7 days and gives you touch up gel to keep it that way for 12 months.

Even after shipping, you get it for $7.98 which compared to the Walgreens price of $18 sound great to me!
