Tonight my husband and I were out making our rounds looking for scrap metal and I hit the jackpot!

So we just started getting serious about scrap metal and went out tonight for about an hour and got a TON of stuff! An old broken grill, metal fan, walker, bike, metal TV stand, metal bed frames...and lots of other small stuff.
He said he thinks we have about $250 worth of metal in the back of the truck!

As If that wasn't cool enough...we found a house with a BUNCH of stuff on the curb...most all of it was in bags (good thing bc it raining here). I opened the biggest bag and realized it was full of clothes! Looked like they cleaned out their coat closet and just decided to throw it all away!!!

I got:
-A TOTES RAINCOAT!!!! YAAAAYYYY!!!!
-An Old navy hoodie
-A Ralph lauren hoodie
-Fruit of the Loom Plain sweatshirt
-Rt. 66 Hoodie
-Koman jacket (Men's VERY NICE!)

Hey guys! Most of you probably know that I'm into couponing. A lot of people have been asking for me to teach a class so here ya go!

The Deal Squeal (Jena Cumming) will be hosting its first coupon class!

Before I started "extreme couponing" I would spend an average of $80 each time I went to the grocery store.

I would pick up whatever I thought we needed and a few things I wanted. I would stand in the aisles of the store and look at different brand and do my best to compare prices. I would used a few coupons for the two or three items that I had planned on getting that I happened to have coupons for. I saved about $10 each month with coupons.

Since I started "extreme couponing" in November of 2009 my life has changed completely. I owe all of it to my friend Rosalyn who got me hooked with my first extreme deal. I coached her daughter in volleyball and she was our first ever booster president. She was able to donate everything that we sold in our concession stand that season, so we made a 100% profit!

I was so curious about how she was able to do this. One night after a game we started talking about couponing. She told me that there was a great deal on Tombstone pizza going on at Kroger. She handed me a stack of coupons and explained the deal to me. The next day I came home with 20 Tombstone pizzas and paid only tax! Then I remembered Roaslyn told me that Tombstone had a promotion going on and if you mailed them12 pizza UPC's they would pay $10 on your utility bill! I WAS OFFICIALLY HOOKED!!!

Since that day I have considered myself an avid "coupon queen", product sampler, secret shopper and rebate junkie. I am officially addicted to saving money! In 2010 I began to track my savings and saved my family over $7,500.

With a little help you can do it too! In November 2010 I started my own blog where I post daily deals,freebies, rebates and frugal living tips. Please subscribe to my blog and get ready to start saving money! www.thedealsqueal.blogspot.com

Do you want to cut your household budget in half, maybe by more? Do you want more in your pantry AND more money in your bank account?

The following questions will be addressed in our class:

-Where do I get coupons from?
-How do i organize my coupons?
-How do various stores differ in coupon policies?
-What stores have the best deals?
-How do I make the most of the coupons I have?
-How do rebates work?
-What stores offer worthwhile loyalty programs?

Everyone will receive a Class Booklet, lots of extra coupons, and you’ll be eligible for lots of door prizes.

Saturday, March 19th from 12:30 to 3 at Tuscany's Coffeehouse in Yorktown.

You can RSVP here -> Facebook Event- Coupon Class
The cost is $25. If you follow what I teach, you will save double the cost of the class in your first week!

Email me at coupon_jena@live.com if you are interested in a coming.

Summer is fast approaching and that means fleas and ticks! (Remember your pets should be on flea/tick preventative ALL year round)

Before you read further please note that this is for FRONTLINE PLUS ONLY!

The ingredients of Frontline PLUS are safe for both cats and dogs...UNLIKE some other products that if put on a cat will kill them. Not matter what consult your vet before any treatment of your pets.

The dog and cat frontline PLUS products have the EXACT SAME ingredients! You are simply paying more because you need more of the product to protect a larger animal.

Here is how I get the most for my money of Frontline Plus.

In my area (Hampton Roads) PETA offers 6 months of ANY SIZE of frontline for $60. This is a great deal in itself, because most places will charge you more for a larger dose...so I purchase the 89-132 pound dose.

I have one cat and a 50 lb. dog

1. As needed I open one vial and pour it into a glass blood collection tube (you could use anything, or get one of these from your vet or doctor or if you have a friend in the medical field)

2. I take a syringe and measure out the appropriate dosage for each of my pets (I have listed all of the doses below)

3. TAKE THE NEEDLE OFF the syringe

4. Apply FRONTLINE PLUS between the shoulder blades

Thats it! Just make sure that you are giving the correct dose, as to little won't protect against parasites and to much can cause sickness or death.

Frontline PLUS dosage

Cats 0.5ml

Dogs 11-22 pounds - 0.67ml

Dogs 23-44 pounds - 1.34ml

Dogs 45-88 pounds - 2.68ml

Dogs 89-132 pounds - 4.0ml

So I end up paying OOP $4.61 per dose!!! For $60 I get 8 months of frontline for my dog AND 5 months for my cat

Here is a picture of my little frontline application kit that I use. I store all of it in an old plastic cup. Green unopened vial of frontline, glass tube that I use to hold excess, syringe for dog (with line marked for dose), and syringe for cat (with line marked for dose). I also ALWAYS keep the sticky note with both of their doses on it just to be on the safe side. Hope this helps!
