Shoppers Voice

Most of these blogs are quick, simple, and short. Because quite frankly, no one wants to sit there and read a bunch of mumble jumble before finding out if the information is worth while....

From my own personal expirience with this company, I've had a GREAT time! They ask you to fill out usually 2 surveys PER YEAR, and send you a few envelopes at random, full of amazing coupons! So check em out!

Potato Cakes - Easy Recipe, and DELICIOUS!

I came across this recipe on Pinterest. I can't wait to make a bunch of these for our weekend away in June!




Ingredients:
- Instant mashed potatoes (made from 1 full packet — follow directions on the box)
** You can obviously use homemade mashed potatoes too. That will probably taste even better. I don’t usually have any though, because I always just eat every last scrap of potatoes I make. But, FYI, 1 packet of instant flakes makes about 3-4 cups mashed potatoes, so if you’re using homemade stuff, adjust your other ingredient measurements accordingly.
- 2/3 cup Colby Jack cheese, grated
- 1-1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp chives, chopped

Steps:
(1) In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until everything is uniformly incorporated.
(2) Using your hands, scoop out generous portions of the potato mixture, and shape it into patties.
** These can be as big as you want. My patties were about 1 inch thick and 2 inches across.
(3) Spray a large pan/skillet with Pam and set it on the stove over medium/high heat.
(4) Cook mashed potato patties 3-4 at a time, about 1-2 minutes on each side.
** If you’re using a pan/skillet with a cover, put the lid on when you’re cooking each side. This will trap the heat and cook the patties all the way around, even on the edges.
(5) Serve warm, with sour cream and bacon bits.

Coupon Sites - Refresher for those who forget :)

Also check out the Facebook pages of the companies you're looking for. A lot of them offer coupons in their offers section of their facebook pages.

Don't forget to actually visit the company websites aswell. Or simply pop a nice eamil off to the companies you enjoy (drano, ziploc, etc) and some will send you out a nice selection of coupons.

Prize Zombie , Gift Hulk, Swagbucks.....

These sites are all relatively related to each other.. Not so much as they say they are, but the fact they are all basically the same.... Search, and Win.

By no means will you get rich quick with these.. but hey, a few extra bucks here and there helps. I personally save mine for Amazon.ca giftcards, so I can order Books for the Kids for Christmas. Afterall, Amazon books range from $5.99 - $15.99... Which is a lot cheaper than buying the SAME book at Chapters. I've also ordered other items from Amazon.ca. So why not join them, and join me in saving some cash at Xmas, or cashing out for Paypal to transfer to your bank account, which in turn can be used for Vacations/bills/ etc .... I've been saving my Paypal aswell... For my yearly trip with the ladies!

Come join me!!

LISA DEVOST - PLEASE HELP BRING HER HOME!!

********** Just an Update, She has been found safe and sound!





This is a girl I once knew. She was fun loving, happy, and a wonderful person to be around. I haven't seen her in years, but I would love a little help here. Share this with everyone and anyone... Please bring this Mommy back home to her beautiful daughters and her handsome son!!!!

Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!

Another year has come and gone. Have you stuck to your resolutions from 2012? I know I broke a few of mine.

I've surpassed my goal of learning the secrets to life. I've become a happier, healthier me over 2012, and I'm sure to continue with my weight-loss goal for 2013. It's nothing drastic, or major. A few extra pounds isn't so bad, now is it? I know, I'm not barbie doll pretty, nor am I super model thin. But thats not my goal. I just want to be healthier. So I can be here a little longer for my children.

You have to take what life throws at you, and make the best of it. We're not here forever!! Over the last year, I've loved, lost, missed, cried, yelled, screamed, and wanted to break down. I've come to realize who I can count on, and who I can't. Who's always there, and who never was. My family and friends have been a huge support through out this rollercoaster year. For that, I thank each and every single one of them!! 2013 is going to be a wonderful year!! Especially if everything will finally go smoothe. We Will see!!!

Last year I made a promise to myself to save where I can, Spend a whole lot less, and keep my shit together so I know regardless, I can and will make it through another month. You can't get anything unless you work for it. I managed to coupon more, spend more time with my babies, and say yes whenever I could, to help a friend when they needed. I've learned that money really isn't everything, and its more important to love what you do, rather than do what you hate just to earn a paycheque. 2013, is my year to make happiness happen! I'm not looking for love, I've got all the love I need.

I still can't comprehend half of what happened last year. Or why it happened. I just know, it won't happen again. A new me, with a bunch of the old me's charm and wit, is in store for 2013! I've decided to take it for what it is. If you don't put fourth the effort, please don't expect me to. I'm no longer chasing people who clearly have better things to do. Just one more sleep until its back to school! I cannot wait !!!!!!!

Anyways, a friend of mine from Save-a-Loonie shared this idea of saving a little here and there for 52 weeks. You can always change it up, and save the bigger amounts first, so that come December, you're only putting a few dollars into the savings.

Happy Saving! & Enjoy, Embrace, and LOVE 2013! It's only here for 12 months!!
