Here is my comment!!

Anonymous said...

I second that...you ARE awesome!

I just left a comment/complaint at the Juicy Juice site. They are not the only ones who do this, however, so I need to start leaving these comments in other places:
"I do not like the way your coupons print out. We are on a very limited budget and can't afford the excessive amount of colored ink that is wasted on the large photos of your products that are displayed beneath the coupon. Also--it would be nice to know the limits of the coupon before we opt to print it--such as exp date, amount of discount, and number of product necessary to qualify for discount."

♥ Queen said...

I already follow and I believe you're on my favorite link list as well!!

♥ Queen said...

Something about me: I'm 21 and I have three kids - ALL GIRLS. People seem to get all bug eyed when they learn my age.. and then ask me why I have three kids ;) That's not hard to answer though!

♥ Queen said...

I would also like to know how you are able to do freebies!

something about me... I'm turning 31 on January 18th. I can hardly believe I am so old. I feel like I am still a teenager. sometimes i feel like I should be acting as an adult, but then i realize that i own my own home, pay bills on time, have a career job, and have a family. I guess i am a grown up.

Beth/Mom2TwoVikings said...

My question: as a phobic computer geek - I really really REALLY hesitate to download sites' software to print coupons. Do your fidn that your printable savings/convenience/etc. make it worth the risk?
