Walmart- Land O'Frost Deli Meat $1.50lb.

Pampers Coupons
I know how expensive diapers are and when I found some Pampers diaper coupons in one of the recent Sunday papers, and I wanted to offer them to one of my readers so someone can save a little money. The first person to email toobusyforcoupons@gmail.com with their mailing address will receive the following coupons:
$1.50/1 Pampers Extra Protection Diapers
$1.50/1 any Pampers Diapers or Pants
$1.50/1 Pampers Easy Ups Trainers
$.50/1 amy Pampers Wipes 60ct. or larger
These coupons expire 3/31/10 so you have plenty of time to use them. I will update the post when I receive the first email.
Money Saving Tips
I am always looking for ways to save money, I am also always looking for ways to be green. I like to reuse things around the house and I wanted to provide a list of some simple things to do around your house, apartment, dorm, or wherever you live to save money and reuse some common items you can find around your home.
1. Reuse old t-shirts as dust rags
2. Use plastic grocery bags (if you haven't made the switch to reusable bags) as trash can liners
3. Baby food jars make great containers for beads, screws, nuts and bolts
4. Comics from the Sunday paper makes cute wrapping paper
5. I use the unused envelopes from junk mail (credit card applications, etc) for almost everything, I'll write lists on the back, I use them to put coupons in at the grocery store, anything and everything
6. 2 toilet paper rolls make awesome binoculars
7. Fun tea cups or mugs make fun, funky flower pots
8. Rinse out an Altoids tin and you can keep buttons, loose change, or whatever odds and ends in it
9. Shoe boxes are great for mailing packages
10. Use a glass or plastic cup instead of throw away Dixie cups
Now these tips aren't going to save you thousands of dollars, but if you can save $10, $20, or even $30 by reusing things around your house I think it is totally worth it.
Do you have any tips on reusing items to save money? If so, leave a comment letting us know. I'm always looking for fun new tips and love hearing creative ideas from my readers.

Ideas for Free Baby Items
So I've posted a few Johnson's coupons and you can get free travel sized items, but say you don't have a baby... here are a few fun ideas so you can still take advantage of these freebies.
1. Know someone having a baby? These can be part of a gift for a baby shower. Make a gift basket of all travel items for mom and baby, these little freebies will be perfect!
2. Donate the items
3. Use them yourself! Who doesn't love the smell of baby products?!?
4. Do you work with anyone who has little ones? Pick up a bunch of free travel size items and give it to them. It's a nice gesture, plus one of the perks of using coupons is sharing the wealth with friends and family
Do you have any other ideas? Leave a comment and let me know!
