Paperback Swap!

Remember when I blogged about Books Free? Well now I found something even better! The Paperback Swap website!

I can't wait to get started. Just the other night I went through one of my bookshelves and picked out a pile of books to get rid of. This should be fun! =o)

More Coupon Stuff

Saw another coupon thing on tv tonight. This one was on inside edition. A lady named Chrissy (Crissy?) who cuts coupons, looks at deals and can feed her family on $10 a week. She said she never buys pasta, that it is always free. Her website doesn't have much on it.. but here is one of the websites she links to:

http://www.hotcouponworld.com/

Found out about This Site where you can just get coupons without buying a paper. =o)

ETA: Apprantly Coupon Mom Is similar to the grocery game, except free.

Great BPA/ Sippy Cup article..

Have you heard the news that came out recently about BPA (bisophenol-A)? Unless you are a Mom you might not have, but it's a hot topic on many mommy oriented forums. BPA is a hormone/chemical most often found in polycarbonate plastics. (i.e. baby bottles & sippy cups are made of these). I stumbled across a great blog today.. "Battle of the BPA free sippy cups" at Nature Mom's Blog. She does a great job breaking down some of the information on BPA!

When Avery was born, we started out using Dr. Browns bottles made of polycarbonate. I knew that there was stuff going around about BPA, but had not really read any of it myself and just thought it was people over reacting. Then I found out Canada outlawed it and had pulled it from all of their shelves. I started reading the articles, and finally decided that I'd rather make a change then risk giving my baby hormones in her bottles. I had stumbled across another great article talking about how only the bottles and not the inserts, etc. on the Dr. Browns bottles had BPA in them, and how they could be used with Evenflo plastic bottles which are BPA free (and $2.99 for a 3 pack at target) after trimming the straw-looking part of the inserts. My husband Randy trimmed them for me and we've been using these bottles ever since.

Since this time Dr. Browns has come out with a BPA free bottle. We love our Dr. Browns bottles, so I recommend the BPA free kind if you are looking for any. =o)

One Red Paperclip..

I don't know just how long ago it was when I first heard about One Red Paperclip. It is all about a guy who traded a red paperclip.. and just kept on trading and bartering until he got a House! All from One Red Paperclip. If you haven't heard about this check it out!

The Grocery Game..

I stumbled across the grocery game last night while going from website to website. I'm very interested in this! My husband and I have a 5 month old daughter, and our budget has tightened recently. Outside of that we do have some debt we have been working to pay off along and along... so I constantly keep my eyes open for ways that we might be able to save money. I thought we were doing pretty good with our grocery shopping.. but this looks even better. Make sure to watch this video about it too.

I've just signed up for the 4 week $1 trial. I will keep you posted. =o)
