Mom's New Look for 2010

Notice anything new? YES! "Mom" had a makeover! Doesn't she look good sitting there at the desk with her coupons and coupon binder? (Just wish my desk was actually that neat and I looked that thin!)

This is the first of a series of new images we will be adding to update all the MomSaves sites. They were created exclusively for MomSaves by a very talented graphics design firm I found on Guru.com. These guys are great - very patient with me when I wanted to change stuff like which side the phone receiver was on or the color of Mom's glasses. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for great design at a reasonable cost. For details on how to contact them email me - mom@momsaves.com

Drugstore Deals this Week (1/10/10 - 1/16/10)

I'm not too excited about the deals at Walgreens this week. Here are my top three picks:


Buy Thermacare Pain Relief (1-ct.) $2.49
Get $2.49 in Register Rewards
Use the Thermacare printable coupon HERE for $1 off
Makes it FREE + $1.00 overage after coupon and RR


Buy Colgate Max Fresh or Max White Toothbrush $2.99
Get $2 in Register Rewards
Use $0.75/1 Colgate 360 Manual Toothbrush coupon from 1/3/10 SS
Get a new toothbrush for only $0.25

Buy Nivea Shower Gel - $4.99 - Get $2 in Register Rewards
Use $2/1 Nivea Body Wash for Women coupon from 1/3/10 RedPlum coupon insert
Get $4.99 shower gel for only $0.99 after coupon and RR

* Register Rewards are coupons that print out at the register and can be used on your next purchase of different items. For instance, you can't use the RR you received on the Colgate Toothbrush to buy the same item or your RR will not print. More details on how this all works HERE.

Not much excitment at CVS this week either but if you use Pantene products this is a pretty good deal.

Buy (2) Pantene Shampoo, Conditioner and Styler, 2/$6.97
Get $2 ECBs when you buy 2 (Limit 1 set of 2 products)

Blog Giveaways

I've had really good luck with winning blog giveaways - probably because there are less entries than in traditional contests.

Entry is free - all you normally have to do is visit a website and then make a blog comment about a product from that website. It really doesn't have anything to do with couponing - but when you win FREE STUFF you save money - right?

So I'm going to list a couple in each newletter. If you win please let me know so I can congratulate you in the next MomSaves newsletter.

We have been having extremely cold weather for Texas this year and I've noticed how much cold air comes in under the door to my garage. I'm using my discount code to order one of these today - maybe just ordering it will bring on a warm spell!

Last year I had several contests where I gave away whole inserts. I'm doing that again this year - but to save on postage I'm clipping the coupons for you!

Each week there will be a new blog post on MomSaves4U.com about the contest. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment about why you want more coupons. It can simply be "I never have enough coupons" or "My dog ate my coupons" or whatever you want (family friendly comments only of course).
