Don’t Hate Me For My Celebrity Lifestyle, Part 3,002
Sooo, The Todd is out of town on a fishing trip. I have to host the Wine and Cheese Festival at the Sundance Resort–you know, Bob’s place. (Editor’s note: they do not call Robert Redford “Robert” at the ski resort he owns–all things are started by: “you know, that’s Bob’s favorite wine.” Or, “Bob prefers the scallops.” My MacLean accidently gave me a massive head-butt while swimming, so I have a cut on the bridge of my nose and a black eye that makes me look like I’ve been in a bar fight.
I wiggle (thank God for Spanx!) into a cocktail dress, go down and host the thing. I come back to my white-faced nanny, who is pointing dramatically at the backyard. Apparently, The Todd set out rat traps before going on his trip, and two of the traps…well…tripped. I teeter out in my 3 inch heels and Vera Wang cocktail dress to clean up the rats. One has been there a couple of days and is…juicy. See evidence.
While balancing in my 3 inch heels, I fall into the rat. I’m now power-gulping a glass of wine and trying to figure out what cleaner will accept a dress covered in juicy rat.

Looking at snow tires?
Global warming so far has affected us here in Utah with depressingly endless winters. Thank heavens Zach and MacLean like to ski or we’d never get out of the house. If you need new tires, snow or otherwise, Midas is offering a $100.00 rebate off a new set of tires, see the info here: http://www.midas.com/AboutMidas/Offers/BridgestoneFall2009Offer/tabid/825/Default.aspx
Pillsbury coupons!
Join the Pillsbury email club and get access to a pile of really nifty coupons! If you’re just starting out on “joining” for coupons, deals, etc. I strongly suggest opening another free email account just for that. In case you get one that’s a little too enthusiastic with emails, you’re not burying your family’s account. Sneaky inside tip: not only can you refresh and print two of all the coupons from Pillsury, they can be paired with instore coupons, too! http://recipes.pillsbury.com/?WT.mc_id=paid_bannerad_3665340_666510&ESRC=14272
Great new sources for Organic coupons!
Centsible in Seattle has a great post today about several new sources for organic coupons. I try to feed the twins organics as much as possible, but spoilage seems higher and it’s often so expensive…sigh. Every savings possible really helps, here. There’s so many little ones now with compromised immune systems (see post below) that the less pesticides and gunk we feed them, the better. http://centsibleinseattle.blogspot.com/2009/09/organic-coupon-sources.html

Ready To Coupon?
"Extreme Couponing" on TLC has done one thing for all us would-be frugalistas--while no one I know wants to be quite that crazed, couponing is looking more attractive, am I right? Here's your coupon options in a tidy, almost shamefully easy format:
Cellfire loads coupons directly to your card. Scan that bad boy at checkout--no clipping!
Coupons.com, hands-down my favorite for ease of navigation and big fat coupons. You'll need to download a toolbar to print. Do not fear the toolbar, it will bring you many goodies.
Coupon Deals Daily.com offers 50-90% off items locally available. Worth checking often, since nothing lasts for long.
So, "catalinas" are the slips of paper-style coupons you get at checkout along with your reciept to use for next time. Print them on Coupon Network.com, and use them THIS trip. Clever you!
No insurance? Or does your lousy coverage refuse to pay for certain medications? Enter the Pharmacy Coupons--this network allows you to print coupons for up to 75% off your prescription costs. In the economy? A literal lifesaver.
Red Plum Coupons cover a huge variety--everything from grocery to your local tire store. Take a look around by clicking below.
Do you have estrogen? Then you will love Woman Freebies.com. They send free girly samplys and piles of high-value coupons. No catch!
