Thousands of coupons to be found at the Deal Locker

by

If you’re on a tight budget I’m sure you have a keen eye for great deals. Even if you aren’t on a budget there’s nothing more satisfying than knowing you saved some money when you’ve made a purchase. Am I right?

If I am then you’re going to love the Deal Locker. This is a site where you can find coupon codes for tens of thousands of items. There’s also listings for savings at thousands of well known stores.

Considering that there are so many free online coupons and printable coupons listed at the Deal Locker it would be a shame not to visit the site before you begin shopping. Wouldn’t it be disappointing to find out after you’ve spent your money that you could have saved an extra 15%?

When you visit the Deal Locker site you can type in the name of the item or store that you’re looking for, or you can use the tabs across the top to search by store or category. It can take as little as a few seconds to find a great deal and begin saving money.

One thing that I really like about the Deal Locker is that it’s interactive. If you sign up for a free account you can add coupon codes that you’ve found on the internet and you can also rate coupons that you use on the site as to whether they worked properly or not. It’s certainly nice to search through the site and know that the majority of the coupons on the site have been rated by fellow users and that they are most often marked as having worked well.

As you probably already know Chris and I have been busy renovating our house. Soon … I hope … we’ll be thinking about purchasing new furniture and other home decor type of items to add that extra touch to our newly renovated rooms. So I decided to take a look at Deal Locker to see if I could find any Home Decor coupons or even some home improvement coupons and I found several coupons that I can use now or in the near future when the renovations are finished.

I was able to find Ace Hardware coupons and coupon codes for other well known hardware or handyman type home improvement stores, and home decor stores.

All in all I was quite pleased by how easy it was to find some coupons that I could use. I’m in Canada and yes there are listings for Canadian stores, US stores, as well as stores in the UK, Germany and even Australia.

Visit the Deal Locker. I’m sure you’ll be pleased by what you find. I know I was! I’ve bookmarked the site already.





Showy Canna Tropicana

This weeks theme is Rows

Canna Tropicana Leaf

What other tropical leafy plant has more rows in it’s colorful leaves than a Canna Tropicana? None that I can think of!

I love this plant. It’s foliage is so vibrant that it’s a pleasure to grow in the garden. You can brighten up a patio or an empty space in your garden bed with one of these lovely plants.

It’s flowers are just as showy. None of my cannas have begun to bloom yet this year. They are being very slow for some reason. I’m sure they’ll bloom soon though.

My husband thinks I’m too sick for house guests

by

My brother called his brother this morning to tell him to shorten his visit at our house.

He did this because I had a terrible night. Obviously I was productive and got a lot of posting done on my sites, but I was in pain the whole time. When I finally tried to go to bed I was still in too much pain to sleep and was in fact still awake when my husband left for work at 9:30 this morning.

I slept, but got up at 2 pm so that’s not too much sleep. I’m sure that contributes to my continuous pain cycle. I think I need to actually be knocked out for several days in a row to reset my whole body.

Anyway, my husband called his brother to tell him how awful I’ve been feeling and to suggest that his visit at our house not be too long.

I feel terrible about that. I didn’t want him to tell his brother he can’t stay here long. They don’t get to see each other all that often and who am I to stop them.

As far as I’m concerned the three of them – Chris’ brother and his two teenage kids – can come and visit. If I’m not feeling well then I just won’t participate in whatever they are doing. I know my niece wanted me to go out with her on a big shopping spree, but I never really thought that would happen and now that I’m still feeling so horrible it won’t be happening, but there’s no reason to cancel or shorten their visit.

It looks like I’ll have to call Chris’ brother myself to let him know that it’s ok to visit.

Expensive break down

by

My husband called his parents house earlier this evening to see if his brother ever got there. His brother had been driving from Chicago through the night Wednesday and into early Thursday morning.

He made it, but sometime during the day his car broke down! Actually I’m not sure if it happened just before he reached my husbands home town or if it happened long after he arrived. Either way his car broke down and it apparently cost about $900 to get fixed!

He’s going to need a cash advance! A big one!

What a drag eh? I mean he’s lucky it didn’t happen in the middle of nowhere while he was driving from Chicago, but still that’s an expense that I’m certain he wasn’t counting on. What a way to spoil a holiday.

I missed out on a trip to Florida in May

by

You know, I missed out on an Orlando vacation back at the end of May. The company was supposed to hold Postiecon at that time and I was going to go. I would have enjoyed a short trip to Florida at that time of year.

Now their event is going to be in November alongside Bloggersworld in Las Vegas. I’ve been invited to go as a panelist since I’m one of the top earners but I haven’t heard a thing as to whether they’ll be paying for my hotel or anything like that. You’d think that if someone wants you to speak at a large event that they might at least put you up in a hotel?

I guess I’ll have to write to them about it and find out what’s going on. As I mentioned in an earlier post I haven’t bought my tickets for my flight or reserved a hotel room yet and this is one of the main reasons why I haven’t. I suppose I could go ahead and make my reservations and if they were going to pay for anything they could reimburse me, but still … it’d be nice to know in advance.
