It’s been a while since I’ve had reason to CVS or Walgreens (esp now that WG no longer has their FAR program), but I haven’t lost my appreciation of a good deal.
To go you one better, MoneyMateKate is combining good deals with good deeds: the products of her coupon/bargain labor goes to the needy of NYC in the form of Care Packages. She’s expanding her couponing efforts, and if anyone can help her with packets of coupons, they’d be much appreciated. (Mine is in the mail, Kate!)
Take a look at this post which explains her coupon needs, and continue to follow her adventures as she scoops up merchandise for nearly or all the way free to share with those less fortunate.
In this prolonged recession, I’m sure that many are grateful for the basic necessities she’s provided since the usual channels for charity have been overwhelmed with more supplicants than donors. It’s a great way to give, doesn’t take much more than some minimal effort on your part to print and mail, or clip and mail, the coupons and directly goes into the hands of people in need.
She’s also fun and entertaining when she’s not couponing, so you should follow her if you don’t already, anyway! š

- Getting drafts of apps together on Gmail during my breaks. I think it’s best to do that while I’m fresher during the day and send off at night. We’ll see what pans out.
- Trivia: Do you know who wrote and sang Same Auld Lang Syne? I do! But wouldn’t without Google. That song always used to make me tear up as an adolescent. Now it just reminds me of being a kid. And sticks in my head for hours after hearing it. Also, why are Greensleeves and Canon in D (Pachelbel’s Canon) in the radio station’s Christmas music rotation?
- While Ctrl+T is good for me, Ctrl+Q almost always screws me up. Thank goodness for Auto-Save because shutting down the whole program in the middle of a document drives me nuts.
- I know money doesn’t “buy happiness” but there are days I wish I had oodles to give away where it could really help.
It just occurred to me that it’s Wednesday. Payday!

Healthy or not, we’ve been toasting pizza rolls for breakfast this morning. Yesterday morning, it was tator tots, $5 for a five pound bag. It’s been rough of late, comfort food gets me through a day.
