Vocal Point

If you've never signed up for Vocalpoint you're missing out! It came to my attention a few weeks ago that I've never blogged about Vocalpoint. So now I have and you can consider yourselves informed!!!

Vocalpoint is a company that sends samples out to its members. The samples almost always come with several coupons. Many times at least one if those coupons is for a completely free item. The other coupons are almost always high dollar coupons!

There's no catch and no fees, just free products and free coupons. I've been a member for about 8 months and have received at least 5-6 items/coupons that I can recall!

You can go here if you would like to learn more or sign up!

Have a great evening...

Practical Tip Tuesday

It's Tuesday again!! Does anyone have any tips??? Keep in mind your tips can be anything even if you don't think of them as "practical" We still want to hear them!!

Leave your link below!

----------------------

Mine this week is to save your paper towels and wash your windows with...

Yep Newspapers!!

I was reading this online last week. I know I've heard of this before but have never really tried it. Well I tried it and I love it!! It really does work the only bad thing is that it makes your hands a little black... no big deal to me it washes right off! It leaves no streaks and no lint on the window like paper towels do. And best all it saves paper towels! I always have PLENTY of newspapers on hand since I get 4 Sunday papers each week. Why not put them to good use !

---------

This will come in very handy with Spring Cleaning coming up!!

----------------------

I really enjoyed your tips last week and can't wait to hear what you came up with this week! Just leave your link below or you can also leave a comment.

Also if you have always wondered if there's a better way of doing something you can also leave a question and maybe someone will have an answer next week!!
