Tight Wad in Utah

Anyone else a Brandi Carlile fan??  I AM!  She's one reason I become MORTIFIED if people ever say they saw me driving somewhere. :):)  I sing big..and loud..lol You can download the  WHOLE concert she did live with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra for FREE!  When you download you'll get 12 songs.  Check out Turpentine and her Hallelujah cover! :):)  LOVE IT!  Oh and The Story! lol AND...The Sound of Silence from Simon & Garfunkel is on there  -- great version!! Thanks One 2 One Network !!!!!!!! .

If you have any kind of blog you can get up to $40 in Emergency Essential Gift Cards!  Here's how: Add the Preparedness Pantry Button to your blog = $10 GC Post on your blog a review of the Food Storage Analyzer = $10 GC Submit a Guest post on a food storage related topic = $20 GC I've already done the first 2 and received $20 in Emergency Essential Gift Cards. I got the above for $6!  If you don't have a store near you, you can buy online as well. A lot of products have a 30 year shelf life - would even make a great gift!!  It's not to hard to imagine an emergency hitting us.  Earthquake, job loss, etc etc etc. Now is a great time to get ready, especially if we have people (kids) depending on us to be.  Looking at my kids always gives me motivation. :) .

UPDATE: I found the $3 off coupon again! I just barely made it to Staples.  I hope you printed off the $3 coupon I posted about the other day , because I can no longer find it . :(  If you have it, make sure you use it by the 11th!  They have tons of items for $1.  You can also get a 24 pack of water for $3.99 so $.99!!  And since most people don't have enough water stored to sustain them in an emergency this is a great way to start or continue your storing efforts! (above picture was taken at the SLC store today, so hopefully your store is stocked too!) They also have ponchos and mini first aid kids for $1.  So if you need to spruce up your Bug Out Bags (72 Hour Kits), this is a cheap way to do it!!  I got the above items and more for FREE by using my Staples Rewards and the $3 off coupon. .

You can get a FREE Father's Day card from PaperSnaps!  Plus FREE shipping! The site is a little slow, so I would suggest multi-tasking :)  --no credit card info needed. If you don't want to design one, you can choose a card without a photo. When you choose a card that you don't need to change you won't see the "Add to Cart" button unless you change something. --then you can just delete the change if you want.  Then the Submit Changes button turns into "Add to Card".   It took me a bit to figure that out, so I thought I'd share :):) Thanks Addict 2 Save ! .

Winner TruKid is helping kids create healthy habits with their many non-toxic, pretty to look at products.  They sell everything from sunscreen to body wash.  All of their products are safe and free of parabens, phthalates, gluten, BPA, SLS, 1-4 Dioxzane and fragrances. I tried out the suncreen and lotion.  Both of which I tried out on my kids and myself. :)  The Sunny Days sunscreen worked great!  It went on easy with a pleasant smell.  Kids played outside for hours and no burns.  The sunscreen is also listed on the EWG as one of the safest sunscreens available!! The Happy Face & Body Lotion smells SOOO good, I almost want to lick it.  My kids like it too.  It's nice to not have it be a fight.  My boy just rubs his face and says "ahhhhh"  lol. On the TruKid Website you'll find day and night Earn A Star Checklists .  It will help kids keep track of the good things they do.  Plus it's always fun checking things off. :)  That's why I make lists.
