I Don’t Understand All This Lingo.

I Can’t Get Coupons To Print.

This happens a lot and is usually fixed by switching browsers.  If you are using Firefox, trying printing the coupons in Internet Explorer and vice a versa.  If that doesn’t work, try clearing your cache/cookies and then try again.

Why Was My Comment Deleted?

I moderate comments in order to keep my site pleasant and upbeat.  Comments that I deam to be rude, harrassing, meant to spark a debate, suggest using coupons in an innappropriate manner or are left for the sole purpose of advertising will more than likely be deleted.  I try to run an upbeat, ethical and encouraging blog.  I hope that you can understand and accept this.  If not, you are more than welcome to find another blog that is more your style.

Can I Copy Some Of Your Posts and Put Them On My Blog?

Blog posts and images I create are legally protected by copyright, the same way books, magazines and newspapers are. Feel free to quote a few phrases (with a link back, please), but please do not reprint an entire blog post, in electronic or print form, without asking first (including for newsletters, etc.) You are welcome to use buttons and images I create, but please link back to me.

How Do You Get Multiple Coupons?

You can buy several Sunday papers in order to get multiple copies of the coupon inserts.  I recommend you read this post HERE for more ideas.

I Sent You An Email, But I Didn’t Hear Back.

I’m sorry.  Blogging and being a mother keep me pretty busy. While I’m not able to respond to every message, I want you know that I do read and appreciate every single one I get. If you have a question, please consider leaving it in the comment section, so that other readers have the opportunity to respond and benefit from your question!
