New Puter Checking out the Digs

Well here I sit in my new home. I do have to say I like the large desk

that I have acquired. It looks pretty good on me. Of course there is so much around here I have to get to know. Being the newest computer in the house takes some getting use to.

Now I know that there is a lil net book that sits on top of me when it is here. It seems that she (being pink I know it is a she) is only a month older than I am. And that I have take the place of the 10 year old Mac that was on the desk. I hear it has been 'relocated' to the bedroom for games. I am glad to know I am used for more than games.

I am pretty nice looking being the newest and youngest of the bunch. Yeah, I have the speed that comes with it too! Whoot! Sleek and black, compact and full of space to expand as I grow. Looking good is how I see it.

Well in the searching around here I have found a few things on the desk that can be quite useful. First I have come across a whole bevy of pens that was hidden away. Someone is always swiping a pen so is good to have a cache stored. Then there is that large desk pad with a calender on it. Always good to have a place for a doodle or too. And it seems that any number of items have been plugged into my extra outlets. Just this week I have uploaded photos from the camera, charged a blue tooth, heated a cup of coffee and downloaded some ring tones onto a cell phone. Pretty versatile lil dude ain't I.

And here are some extras too. I found a deal for y'all . $30 off orders $150 or greater at HP Home Store. Use coupon code SV2132. I knew you would want a coupon code! Have fun with it!

FREE is the Word

I know that all of you frugal moms are looking for all of the Freebies
just like I do. You take the samples that come in the mail and use them for you travel packs too. Right? We even use the small sample packs for stocking stuffers at Christmas.
Free Samples are also something that I enjoy. How do you use them? I have sent them in care packages for my College Girl. We have also collected them as groups and made up baskets of goodies for the residents at the local nursing home. You would be amazed at how happy you can make an elderly woman when she can not go out and shop for herself. Sample sizes of hand lotions, bath soaps and soft socks can make a ladies day no matter who she is. (It does me!)
So, how do you get Free Stuff? Are you on a mailing list? Do you belong to web sites? Or do you just wait for you lucky day?
Student Freebies are something the College Girl never passes up. She collects all the coupons that are sent to her. CG also enjoys the specials at local restaurants and grocery stores. When there is a really good sale you can expect her there. She understands that because she is a student some companies do cater to her. She is not silly at all, she enjoys those things. Of course it works because CG remembers who caters to her when she can shop. SO it works.
Well I found a weekly newsletter (it's free!) that shows you all the places you can go for your freebies. Just let me know when you find a really good deal.

Are you a SLACKER?

I have to confess, I am a slacker. REALLY and you can be too!

Slacker Radio Plus is going to give away three, 3-month premium subscriptions to my readers.

College Girl reviewed Slacker Radio Plus this week for me. She thought it was pretty cool and loved all the options and all the genres available. She loved that it was easy to use and that there was such a wide selection. There was one just for kids and she loved it for time for her lil sister. So often there is not that availability quite often. She felt that whatever your musical taste is you could find your favorites. CG loves show tunes so we have had them on all week. You know she is kicking up her heels at that. She has also enjoyed the comedy that she could listen to. She said there is even a Monty Python channel.

This is what Nessa over at Ramblings had to say:
"I was recently given a 3 month subscription of Slacker Radio Plus to review. I have had a free Slacker Radio account for quite awhile and was excited to try the plus service. I have not been disappointed! With the Plus service you get no ads, unlimited song skips, unlimited song requests, and complete songs lyrics. They have over 2 million songs and real live DJs programing the stations. No matter what your taste in music, you will most likely find a station you will enjoy. They offer kids stations, big band, classic rock, new country, and more!"

Here are 4 FREE stations that might be just right for your family!

Top that off with Slacker is giving away free Blackberry Curve smart phones to listeners in celebration of the overwhelming success of the Slacker Radio mobile application. For listeners who want to take Slacker with them everywhere they go and want to be able to get a smart phone that can do it, Slacker is making it easy with this offer. All major carriers are available (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile) and every offer features a Blackberry Curve smart phone. The offers aren't all identical, but they all offer the ability to get a free Blackberry smart phone with either a new contract, or an extension (depending on your carrier and where you are in your current contract). If you go to any of the carriers directly, you would have to pay to get a Blackberry Curve smart phone, so with this offer Slacker is covering the difference so people can get the phone for free.

Now how do you win?

Win Free Sunglasses Using Twitter

I found a good summer fun deal. If you follow the link and become friends on Twitter you get a chance to win:
Free Sunglasses - 30 Pairs in 30 Days
With the UV rays out there I am not aware of anyone who could not use sunglasses. And it is even more fun when they are free.
Each day they will have a fun activity to do on Twitter to qualify to win your sunglasses.
Good Luck!

Free Tomato Seeds

I found an ad for Campbell's that I thought I would share. If you go to Campbell's you can get FREE tomato seeds. And also try and win a community garden for your area. You can purchase a can of condensed soup to be qualified or like me just take it out of your pantry. Or just click an icon to help contribute seeds at no cost to you at all.

Heck, I love tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. And we are currently trying to do a garden. So it seemed a win win situation. If nothing else you can help your young one grow a tomato plant as an at home project.
