It looks like there will be two inserts in the paper this weekend ... a SmartSource and a RedPlum. You can check out what coupons are on the national line up -- but keep in mind that we may see slightly different ones in our own area. Want more coupons? Here is an easy way to get them: COUPON CLIPPING SERVICES You can always use a clipping service to get more insert coupons or ones that were not available in your local paper. I recommend these 4 sites Now that the Dollar Tree no longer carries the Sunday paper for $1.00 - it's time to talk discount subscriptions. (sigh) Check it out HERE to see if you have any special offers in your area. **This is a sponsored post.

Do you have expired coupons? Do NOT throw them out -- you can still put them to good use!! Our military families give up so much for us, that there is one simple thing we can do to give back to them: send them our expired coupons! I know, it sounds wacky - but they can use them for up to 6 months past the expiration date at the Commissary (for edible items) and their PX (for personal care items). Here are a few things you need to know -- It takes a while to get them to the people who will use them, once a package is shipped over seas. That means all coupons have to be mailed with at least 4 months to go. All coupons have to be sorted into two groups: things people eat and things they dont. That is the difference between the Commissary and PX. You can only send manufacturer's coupons -- no store or restaurant coupons. Operation $40K has adopted a base in the UK through the Overseas Coupon Program and will be sending out monthly packages...you are more than welcom

STUCK is a documentary about the need for international adoption reform is showing TONIGHT night in Fitchburg (Our friend Jessica is the City Host). Would you please spread the word? They have a bunch of donated tickets for high-school and college students. An awesome movie about the need for adoption reform that is serious and long overdue! www.stuckdocumentary.com A movie about the struggles of adoption.  

It is no secret - going out to the movies now has become tougher for a lot of families as the prices have jumped on tickets and at the concession stands!

Gofobo - You simply enter your zip code and how far you would travel then select a movie to see if there are free movie tickets available near you. Be sure to register so they can contact you if a new screening becomes available in your area! WildAboutMovies  - (drives me nuts - it has a ton of ads!) SeeItFirst - This is where you can find free movie tickets for Disney movie screenings!
