So yesterday was my birthday.  And for the last two weeks I have received many, many birthday e-mails.  I encourage everyone to sign up for various company websites for fabulous freebies on your birthday.

I received a coupon from Crest/Oral B for $10 off a $40 Oral Care Purchase, a few coupons for cleaning products and excellent discount offers from beauty products, here are the offers I received.

Bonefish Grill - Free Bang Bang Shrimp or Jamaican Coconut Pie 

Taco Johns - Free Order of Cini-Sopapilla Bites

I know there  probably were more that I didn't print out yet.  But just to give you an idea of what you can get just for subscribing to their website.  Not too bad, huh? They all have expire dates, most expire about two weeks after, so print them out and start enjoying your complimentary food.

                                                            

Have a great Saturday, and Go Big Red!

A New Year with A New Start

The other day at the grocery store, I found the most amazing magazine.  It's called "FIRST".  Every single article is very informative or interesting or something I didn't know. I am an avid coupon clipper, I'm always looking for a great deal or ways to save on time or money. Here are a few things I found rather useful from this magazine. 

Did you know you can save those condiment packets from the fast food restaurants, ie: ketchup, BBQ sauce, mayo, etc and keep them in the freezer for bruises or burns you get in the kitchen?  Fast, convenient and easy to just grab and use. 
Or a sure cure for the hiccups is peanut butter.  The effort it takes to remove the sticky peanut butter from the roof of your mouth interupts your breathing pattern, thus putting a stop to those stubborn hiccups.
One more, did you know that cutting out milk in your diet may help ease nasal congestion?

There is a great article about rev'ing up your defenses against winter germs with these.  Candied ginger powers up white blood cells, Kiwi battles bacterial infections, pink grapefruit speeds recovery time by 3 days, sweet potatoes fortify your lungs, or that blue cheese can jump-start your immune system and cut your risk of illness by 24%.  On top of all these great findings, they also post many healthy recipes. All these great ideas in just on magazine.  I will definitely be buying a full year's subscription to this one.
