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

* 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.

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.
