Free Cats

Our local Humane Society is offering 2-for-1 cat adoptions. Sadly they are receiving too many unwanted cats and not enough homes. I used to voluteer at one of their locations and these cats are so sweet and just want a good home. 2 cats isn't much different than 1 as far as supplies and work. Please help keep the pet polulation down and unless you are a breeder have your pets spayed or neutered (I'm not trying to be Bob Barker, I'm totally serious). I used to get so mad at my own mother for letting her animals have litters.
You are saving the cost of the second cat by getting it for free from the Humane Society. Since I am forever trying to save money and/or get free things I would say you can just find a free cat in the paper or on the side of the road but cats from the Humane Society have already had a complete check-up for diseases, received shots, been spayed or neutered and have one of those microchip implants (the size of a grain of rice) so much cheaper than a free cat plus vet bills.

Almost 250 Digital prints for FREE

Summer vacation has begun and some of us have free time with our kids. Why not do some crafts with pictures, create a memory book, or get started on some birthday/Christmas presents! If you don't already have a membership to the sites below you can get 245 digital prints mailed to you with only the price of shipping. I mentioned in the CVS blog entry about 50 free prints...now I will tell you about some other sites.

Snapfish you get 50 free prints for joining and you only pay shipping (around $1)
Winkflash you get 50 free prints for joining and you only pay shipping (around $1)
Kodak Gallery you get 20 free prints for joining

These sites changes their offers all the time. Earlier this year Kodak was offering 75 free prints. I've seen as little as 20 and as much as 75. Once you are a member there are always great deals for prints, collages, gifts, photo books, etc.

GET CRAFTY!

Free Movie

One of my new interests is Historical Fiction (books by Phillipa Gregory who wrote The Other Boleyn Girl). Now that I am just about finished with her series I have moved on to Marie Antoinette since I don't know much about her other than her name and she liked sweets. (History and Politics have always been my weak areas.) I did a search with my library (see 1st blog entry) and created a list of books and movies about her. I rented (from the library for free**) a recent movie titled "Marie Antoinette" staring Kirsten Dunst and while it wasn't full of informative historical facts it had amazingly vibrant colors and fabulous clothes. Check it out if you are into that sort of thing....cake, champagne, shoes and cool dresses that is.

**Aside from free DVD's from your local library here is a code for a free rental from Redbox per credit/debit card good until Monday, June 8 DEVRY6268

Record your shows - Burt's Bees Lip Balm

I don't know what I would do without my DVR (sometimes known as TIVO, but that's just a name brand). I basically watch 3 shows (Survivor, So You Think You Can Dance, and Jon & Kate + 8) but they typically come on during our bedtime routine so I have them automatically set to record. It might take a few days but I eventually get to them and it's lovely "me" time. I despise commercials and love to fast forward through them - I mean, why do we have to have commercials anyway? The radio in the car is free and therefore we have commericals. SIRIUS doesn't have commercials because you have to pay for it. Ummmm, I totally have to pay for cable so why must we get inudated with commercials, most of them being gross movie previews or stupid drug companies trying to sell us sleep aids and depression meds. Geez. You might be wondering is this a rant or is there a money saving tip in here somewhere? Well they say time is money so watch your favorite shows in almost half the time and get something else done in the time you save not watching TV's terrible commercials :)

Also, every day between 9am-noon EST Burt's Bees is giving 1000 FREE LIP BALMS away until June 20th. We love Burt's Bees and use it on the babies and I love the chapstick.
