Monday Mailbox Plus FREE Valspar Paint Sample- 4/09

Thrifty Momma Ramblings Monday MailboxAnother edition of Monday Mailbox is here! My wonderful Valspar Paint Sample came in the mail last Thursday. Sorry but I was so exhausted last week from lack of sleep and then the holiday weekend. I wanted to post it along with the other freebies I received. I love that paint sample. I’m not sure if they are still offering it anymore.

Monday Mailbox
This past week I received Cosmopolitan Magazine from a Books-a-Million promotion back in January. I receive 3 magazines completely free for 6 months I think. There wasn’t much too choose from, but I am donating them after I’m done to my library. It’s a small branch so they are excited to receive them for free for the other patrons to enjoy. I also received the Berry Scented Gud Lotion and Miracle Grow sample. Not too much this week, but I have more on the way. I have ordered lots of samples in the last three weeks.

I am beyond thrilled with this paint freebie. I received the color City Lights which is a beige. I also receive a $5 off a gallon of Valspar Paint, complimentary color samples, and the cute little paint tray with rollers. These little rollers are great for trim work!

 

I forgot to mention I received my scanner from National Consumer Panel! I am now earning rewards for scanning all my weekly purchases. It’s a great program so if you are interested then click on the Paid Surveys or Reward Program link at the top of my blog (next to freebies and coupons). The program is not a scam and you really do receive the scanner. It might take awhile depending on availability as it took almost a month after I signed up. Have patience!

What great freebies did you receive this week? Enjoy!

TMR Frugal Living Tip #24: Bring Samples on Vacation

monday-mailbox-610

Today’s thrifty tip is bring samples on vacation. Why carry all those full size containers of toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, shaving cream, shampoo, and such? It would be much easier to bring the smaller travel sized samples. Unless you have a coupon to make it either free or under 50¢ cents, then don’t buy the travel size items in the store.

Just spend a little time daily requesting free samples. Look through my FREEBIE LIST HERE to find many samples to request. I post new ones daily.

You also get great coupons that you can buy again for later. Some coupons do have the wording “not good on travel or certain size items” so do read the fine print.

If you bring the smaller items, then you will have more room for your souvenirs. Less chance of having something leaking in your suitcase. If you leave behind a travel size item then you won’t be so upset compared to leaving behind a $5 or more item.
