Giving in to Facebook...

Ok, so I have finally given in to the monolithic, omnipresent Facebook and signed up!  What prompted me to do so?

SAVING $$$$$$$

Yup, that's right, Facebook saves you money!  For example: right now, if you "LIKE" Olay Canada they will send you and your friends free stuff!  Woo Hoo, who couldn't use more free stuff?  Especially makeup and skin care stuff? (SO, if you are my friend on facebook then I probably sent you an Olay invite to your mail box - open it, FREE STUFF!)

Ever since I saw the show Extreme Couponing on TLC, I have been fascinated by the idea of using coupons to save money and get free stuff.  It is much easier to accomplish this in the USA because Canadian companies are a bunch of tight asses much more conservative! LOL

HOWEVER, my Canadian peeps, there are several websites that you can go to to get coupons and they mail them right to your door!

http://www.websaver.ca/
http://www.brandsaver.ca/

There are also sites that send you FREE samples.  My fave is:

www.nexttonothing.ca/canadian-freebies.html

As you can see, I am a bit obsessed these days (my latest) and really getting a buzz from getting things for FREE!  Did you know that you could get free makeup and other products by mail in rebate?  Just look for items in the store with stickers or hang tags that say "free with mail in rebate" "full price rebate by mail" etcetera. 

Today I picked up these three items and will fill out my rebate forms tonight to get all my money back! 

(*always read what you have to do to get the rebate carefully, date and other restrictions may apply)

Kitty has over 70 videos you can watch to find out more about couponing and lots of what she has to say applies to Canada too.
