"Pinching your pennies"

On Monday, I was at work and sorta bored, so I decided to go through the sale adds in the Sunday newspaper. I cut out coupons and by the end had a whole little envelope full of coupons. One place that had a lot of coupons was Walgreens. I know my mom loves the deals at Walgreens and so I cut out a lot of coupons from there. I then went shopping there yesterday after work and used my coupons. I was able to save $15 there but was the annoying woman in front of you in line who is sorting through her coupon purse, trying to locate each coupon for each item. I was pretty proud of my savings.

So then this morning I saw this link called Pinching your pennies ,went to the site and was impressed with the deals. It is laid out like a blog format and it easy to sort through. This site also gives you a heads up on deals in the area such as Panda Express has a coupon that is good for only today to try their new honey walnut shrimp entree for free and you can just click on the coupon link and voila.

I will be checking this site everyday for great deals and just thought I would share.

Email us at simplychicblogs@yahoo.com Price of Backgrounds We are happy to supply these fun backgrounds to you for free. All we ask in return is that you add our link to your blog and let all your friends know where you found your cute background! If you download a background we would love for you to leave us a comment. Thanks! How to Change Your Background Our backgrounds work best if you use Blogger's 'minima' template. First you must sign into to your blog and click on 'customize' at the top of the page. Once you have done that you then need to click on the 'edit html' tab. Scroll down in your html to where you see this: body { background:$bgcolor; margin:0; color:$textcolor; font:x- small Georgia Serif; font-size/* */:/**/small; font-size: /**/small; text-align: center; Change that part of the code to say this: body { background:$bgcolor;background-image:url(direct link);background-position: center; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; margin:0; color:$textcolor; font:x-small Georgia Serif; font-size/* */:/**/small; font-size: /**/small; text-align: center; Now all you need to do is choose the background that suits you and copy the link underneath it and then paste it in your html between the parenthesis where it says direct link. Preview your changes and then once you have checked that everything looks right be sure to save your template. Voila! An Extra Help... Depending on your computer screen our backgrounds may not stretch the entire width of your blog. You can find color codes for several colors to customize your side wrapper color at this website: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/colors/article.php/3478921. Simply choose the color you want, copy the code below it and then paste it into your html to replace the existing code. Below is what it should look like. You will be pasting your new code where you see the yellow code bellow. body { background:#DEB887;background-image:url( http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll175/simplychicblogs/pinkflowers.jpg);background-position: center; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; Labels Animal print (1) dots (3) floral (8) Holiday (4) other patterns (5)
