Finding the FUN in FrUgal liviNg!

Free Prescriptions and Free Delivery

Just as I was hoping to settle back into some sense of a routine at home today, my son threw me a curve ball.

After dropping my daughter off at school, he proceeded to cry for 3 hours straight, complaining of pain inside his right cheek. Not detecting anything myself (with my expert dental tools of a Gaither Homecoming flashlight and the back of a free toothbrush), I thought it best for both my son’s health and my own sanity that I take him to our dentist.

They did find 2 cavities, but couldn’t explain the severe pain, except to suggest a sinus infection can often cause pain in the mouth/teeth like that. So she prescribed amoxicilin and sent us on our way. Why do I bring all this up on this blog and not my family blog?

Publix Logo

I thought it would be an opportune time to remind you about the Free Oral Antibiotics that you can get from Publix. If you read my previous post on the topic, you’ll find all the specifics about what is included.

Walmart free deliveryAnother great medical freebie: Walmart not only offers many of their prescriptions for $10 for a 90 day supply, but they also offer Free Home Delivery of certain prescriptions! Read my previous Walmart post to learn more and to see a complete list of prescriptions that are part of the program.

For those of you wondering how the story ends, Britton cried himself to sleep on the way home and then promptly crashed on the bathroom floor for 3 hours. He woke up thirsty, but in much less pain. Now if only I can find a free manual for 3 year olds…

Coupon Inserts for 2/7

I just made an amazing discovery. Well, perhaps discovery isn’t the best word.

While I send many of you to Coupon Mom for your grocery savings (and believe she’s still a great resource), I’ve been noticing a lot of the coupon match-ups haven’t been accurate for us here in Nashville lately; so I started typing out all the coupons into an Excel spreadsheet each week. I was working on a plan to share them with you until…

My fabulous friend Kelly over at Faithful Provisions just blew me away at Blissdom this weekend by telling me that her and her wonderful helpers already do just that! So click on over to Faithful Provisions to not only see what to expect this week! Thanks for this awesome service, Kelly!

George-Duran-Sami-Cone
Well, I can tell you my mind has been totally swimming after being here at Blissdom. SEO, Tweets & DM’s are just a few of the things throwing me for a loop, so luckily I got back into my comfort zone this morning: volunteering to go on stage!

The Blissdom organizers surprised us with a special guest before lunch: TV host, Hunts spokesman and chef, George Duran! After demonstrating his new recipe for Grilled Eggplant rolls over tortellini, he asked for an excited mom to volunteer…ah, yes, I managed to raise my hand and shout a little “woo hoo” (I know, that shocks you all to know end).

Before I knew it, I was being asked to recreate the recipe. For my efforts, I was graced with a personalized copy of his cookbook. We even got to eat the actual recipe for lunch afterwards!

It’s like they always say: you can’t win unless you play. Sometimes all it takes to win something great is to simply be willing. What have you won lately? Or better yet, what opportunities have you passed by that could have lead to winning? Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there in the name of fun :)
