Saving a couple bucks!

When I was on maturity leave with my first child I was part of a couponing group! We traded coupons and shared deals for local retailers.

It's not always about just using coupons to save money, you stack your coupon with the lowest sale price of item to save the most money! In this time I've been able to stock pile Shampoos, deodorants, razors, pasta, pasta sauce, frozen foods, crackers, toilet paper, Kleenex and paper towel!

Now that the technology age is here there is two apps for the iPhone and android phones that allow you to upload you receipt and save on special items for that week.

Checkout 51 and Snap Saves. Once you accumulate $20 on your account you can request a cheque mailed to your address. Seems to good to be true right? I have saved over $100 using checkout 51, and $19.50 using snap saves (just became a member this year). By using these apps you are still allowed to use printed coupons in store which means CANADIANS can stack coupons!! Woohoo!

Checkout 51 uploads new offers every Thursday and snap saves uploads offers over the weekend.

Another website that I use to help me save money is Smartcanucks.ca. Many users all across Canada upload flyers early, share deals and of course trade coupons!

Become a member of all three to help save money!

Host with me!

Host a Scentsy Party! When you bring together friends and Scentsy products, it happens naturally—laughing, sharing, and reminiscing! Fragrances evoke special memories and have different meanings for everyone. That's why our products can't be explained—they have to be experienced. And that's why Scentsy parties are so much fun!

Party Types

There's more than one way to share the Scentsy experience. Whether you want to throw a traditional party, host an open house, or invite your friends to do some online shopping, I've got the perfect party style for you.

Just choose an option from the list below, pick a date, and invite a bunch of your favourite people. I'll take care of the rest—product displays, samples, and party ideas! It's that simple.

• Traditional Home Party
• Scentsy Open House
• Scentsy Basket Party
• Outside Orders

Host Rewards

For all you die-hard Scentsy fans out there: the wait is over! Host a Scentsy party and sample each of our new Fall/Winter 2011 fragrances, signature warmers, and a fresh twist on wearable fine fragrance, Scentsy Solid Perfume. As the Host, you’ll enjoy unbeatable rewards for free and half-priced items! What better way to stock up on all your new favourites for fall?

It’s so simple. Just bring together a group of friends and family and allow me to share the new sights and scents of the season. Your Host Rewards are based on the dollar amount of product sold at your party, excluding any sales tax or shipping charges that may apply. Even if some of your invited guests can’t make it, collect their orders before your party and count them toward your Host Rewards! Just reference the handy chart below to see exactly what you can earn.

Guest Sales (US)	Guest Sales (CAD)	Credit Towards Free Products	Half-Price Items
$150 - $249	$200 - $299	10%	1
$250 - $399	$300 - $499	10%	2
$400 - $999	$500 - $1,199	15%	3
$1,000 and up	$1,200 and up	15%	4

Don’t forget: for every guest at your Scentsy party who in turn chooses to book their own Scentsy party, you receive an additional half-price item for attending their party! We call it the Perpetual Party Reward, and it’s just our way of saying “thanks.”

Here’s an example of how it works:

• If guest orders at your Scentsy party total $500, you would earn $75 (15%) in FREE Scentsy products,
  as well as 3 items at half-price.
• If guest orders at your Scentsy Party total $300, you would earn $30 (10%) in FREE Scentsy products,
  as well as 2 items at half price.
• If two guests at your Scentsy Party book their own Scentsy Parties, you get 2 additional half-price items.

Been along time....

Along time has passed since my last blog post.

In that time I have gotten married, had a child, spent a year on maternity leave and am now back to work full time.

Being a full time mom and full time worker can pose many challenges. My husband is a referee and sales manger for an automotive parts company.  With my full time job I work 2 nights a week posing a problem from picking Quinn up from day care! Thankfully I have many great family members close by.

I wanted to start blogging again about our lives and things I started doing to help make life easier!

Check back often! Lots of exciting posts coming your way!
