Free health and beauty products are fun to collect regardless of your economic status.  In addition to being able to try new products without spending a dime, you can often score money-saving coupons to use on future purchases.  Many major manufacturers provide free samples … Continue reading →

Free Family Entertainment

My 8-year-old is hooked on retro cartoons. I have the Smurfs to thank for that. Ever since the blue guys debuted on the big screen and I told my daughter that I grew up watching them on TV, she’s been obsessed with viewing animated shows from the 70s and 80s, including the Snorks, Hong Kong Phooey, and Heathcliff. Retro cartoons are fun to watch as a family; however, the pleasure can really put a dent in your wallet if you are not careful. When my daughter expressed interest in watching the same cartoons I grew up with I offered to … Continue reading →

Movie Ticket or Lottery Ticket?

Last night I was cleaning out my purse and came across a couple of movie passes. The little pieces of paper have been sitting in my wallet for months—ever since my young daughter fell asleep during “Charlotte’s Web.” She was so looking forward to seeing the film when it first opened back in December 2006. A few days before Christmas I broke down and bought tickets for us to see the show—-she ended up falling asleep on my lap about five minutes after the theater lights dimmed. (Note: It was the early showing, but I figured all the excitement leading … Continue reading →
