Loving my new Bounce Dryer Bar!!
September 30th, 2009 | 
Author: 
I just purchased my first Bounce Dryer Bar last weekend using a coupon I had for a while and now I am hooked! I am so glad I finally purchased it. I have not had to put fabric softener in my wash at all this week and my clothes still smell fresh! With two teenagers, we do a lot of laundry – several loads a day! This is not a smoke free home and for the first time in a very long time, our clothes, towles and sheets don’t have the noticable odor that they have in the past even with other products. My favorite thing about the Bounce Dryer Bar so far is the fact that I don’t have to remember to put fabric softener in the wash or dryer sheets in the dryer. I can forget about it for a month or two until it’s time for a replacement. Thank goodness I bought 4 of these! I am enjoying mine so much that I want to share with my visitors so be looking for my very first giveaway soon!

Puppy Product Review: Chef Michael's dog food
A few weeks back, some of you may recall the coupons in the Sunday paper for a free trial size of Chef Michael’s dog food. Well, being one that loves trying new things and more importantly, new FREE things, we decided to try out the new food on our picky pups. We decided to first feed it to them as treats and I have to tell you these two could not get enough of the stuff! It made hubby and I feel as if we had been depriving our babies all this time with their regular food so we decided to use the $3.00 off coupon on our next shopping trip. I typically buy two papers so I was able to use the coupons to try both flavors. I couldn’t say that they prefered one flavor over the other – the liked them both equally!. I decided to sit down one evening and write the company a note thanking them for offering the coupons for us to try this new product. They had us sold! Well, yesterday I find in my mail, 3 coupons for any of their dog food products!! Yay for Purina (no, I am not connected with them in any way except that my pups love their food!) and yay for coupons! I would still purchase the food with out the coupons but this sure did make it easier on our one income budget. It was a nice surprise. With all of the freebies & samples out there for us humans to enjoy, it makes a mom feel good to be able to treat her “fur kids” to something nice for a change! My first CVS trip – 9/27 Deals!!
