La Duni celebrates MY birthday.


Kristi reports that Dallas restaurant, La Duni, sends you a $10 gift card on your birthday AND your anniversary! She theorizes that one could sign themselves up on La Duni's membership club list (a card to fill out in the restaurant, I know, so old school this pen and paper thing) and sign up their husband. Then get $30 in gift cards (2 birthdays and an anniversary) and use them all in one night to get a free meal. Now, that's some math even I can understand (says the mommy who stopped being capable of checking her son's math homework starting in the 3rd grade).

Remember, whatever your city, you can order a book specifically for you and the restaurants, attractions, grocery store offers tailor-made to your area! Use just two or three BOGO restaurant coupons and you've made your money back. Use your $5 off grocery coupons and you're makin' money. Use all the completely free with no purchase necessary coupons and that's gravy. I definitely make my money back and then some.

DVR or TiVo?

Help a mommy out: DH will get me either a TiVo or a DVR service subscription for my birthday. I'm supposed to research both and pick one. Please give me your two cents on pros and cons of either by leaving a comment. 

Either way, I'll not be falling asleep in the last 10 minutes of the most fabulous Life on Mars and kicking myself the next day.

Buy one entree get one free at TGIFridays.


From now until March 1st, get one free entree when you buy one at TGI Friday's using this coupon. (You can print and use this coupon over and over again.)

We just went last week...steak for DH, sizzling chicken and shrimp drowned in cheese for me. Since the chicken was free we opted for some Guinness for daddy and Blue Moons for mommy. Luka decided he'd eat TWO kids meals all by himself. Oink.

Sign up for their membership club, Give me more Stripes!, and get even more swag. AND, with your card, you can jump to the front of the waiting line when there's a crowd! We just did it again Friday night. Now that's VIP treatment!

Pledge to be kind to your behind.


Well, besides my new squishy desk chair, the feather mattress topper on my bed, and the fact that I just stocked up on fleece sweatpants at Target's 75% off clearance sale last month (oh yes, I've let myself go and I'm not ashamed to say so), I am being kind to my behind by using Cottonelle. I even pledged to do so here and immediately got access to a $1 off any Cottonelle coupon (and I printed it twice using my back button).

And of course by now you realize that $1 off Cottonelle means FREE toilet paper at Kroger. Or, .19¢ toilet paper if it's not on sale. Thank you Cottonelle for being kind to my behind and the wallet that resides therein. You've really ponied-up with the coupons lately.

Windex for .59¢ a bottle. Hurry.


Hurricane Luka and I just got back from Home Depot where Windex 32oz is on sale for .99¢. Limit 6. Used 6 .40¢ off coupons from recent Sunday paper (yes, you can use coupons at Home Depot). So I got 6 for .59¢ each. That's a crazy price, and I won't have to buy Windex for a year now. And Luka got to drive the big orange car cart. A good morning had by all.

Thanks to Angie for texting me this deal!
