What to Expect

For a long time now Kohl’s has been my go-to store. In high school I discovered, and fell in love with their junior’s department. Back then I was all about MUDD, Levi’s and Unionbay—and Angels were my favorite brand of jeans because they came in so many embellished styles with rhinestones, sparkles and funky stitching.

My style has changed since then, it was a strange day when I first wondered towards the women’s section and discovered a new love for SimplyVera denim, although I still rely on Levi’s for a great fit too. As my figure and tastes have changed shopping at Kohl’s remains fruitful.

Where I once preferred camouflage pants with a long purple hoodie—Kohl’s junior’s—now I prefer an elegant wrap dress with a neutral cardigan—Kohl’s women’s. My look is completely different, but it’s nice knowing that I can come back to the same spot and find what I want right now.

I also shop Kohl’s for my work-wear, and what’s really strange—so does my mom! But the selection is wide enough that we both come out looking elegant, put together, and age-appropriate.

Another area in Kohl’s I’ve discovered since high school is the Kitchen & Dining Department. They carry amazing products designed by all of my favorite chefs from the Food Network as well as a million gadgets from KitchenAid. I love exploring and finding new kitchenware I never knew I needed.

And don’t forget the bath and bedding. I’ve looked at every store imaginable and Kohl’s carries the highest thread-count cotton sheets, at affordable prices and in a million different colors. The same goes for towels. It’s so easy to decorate a home when you can mix and match from so many options.

When the holidays roll around I not only rely on Kohl’s for gifts, they seem to have something for everyone, but also my seasonal décor. They always have elegant ornaments and classic, as opposed to cheesy, Christmas decorations.

If there’s one thing Kohl’s is famous for…it’s sales! It seems like at least one department is always on sale. When you combine the already low prices with the Kohl’s coupons from ShopAtHome.com—and the cash back on every purchase—you can’t beat Kohl’s!

Easy Entertaining

Kroger is the grocery store store that I've relied on for my weekly groceries for years...but I never thought of them when I was having company over--which just seems crazy now. I used to go to restaurants and purchase expensive hou d'oeuvres and then have to go to a liquor store for my wine--that I had to choose with very little help.

One day it dawned on me...I was at the store, doing my regular shopping and already thinking about a dinner party I was planning for the following Saturday. Suddenly, I saw a woman carrying a large tray away from the deli area. I was close enough to peek--the tray was decked with olives, pita, roasted red peppers, mozzarella, stuffed grape leaves and hummus! It was gorgeous, and I knew right away I had to have it for my party.

I went to the counter to ask about the tray and learned that it was a steal compared to what I had been getting from restaurants! I told the gentleman at the counter I would be ordering one for Friday and he was kind enough to fill me in on a little secret--he told me to check ShopAtHome.com for Kroger coupons before ordering! He asked if I would need anything else and I told him what I had in mind for the party. The gentleman from Kroger also recommended the Mediterranean Platter, to compliment the one I would already be ordering--which includes crostini, tapenade, hummus (you can't have too much hummus) and bruschetta!

Next he told me about the online Wine Pairing Tool...it is a device on Kroger's site that recommends what type of wine would be good with whatever it is you happen to be serving!I searched under vegetarian, then garlic and tomato and discovered that Merlot was the best bet for all of my Mediterranean flavors!

After visiting ShopAtHome.com for coupons and Kroger's site for useful tips, I realized that I was saving enough money on everything else...I could buy a cake too! So when I put in my reservation for platters I also ordered an Italian Creme Cake, which I knew would finish off the Mediterranean platter perfectly!

The next time I entertain I might go with the Fiesta Dip and Chips and have a Fiesta! Or I might pair the Deviled Eggs Platter with the Spinach Dip Basket, a very large bread bowl filled with creamy dip! Either way, I know it will be simple and convenient for me to pick up right when I need them ...and so inexpensive!

In the Bag

It's Saturday afternoon, you're headed for the grocery store with the usual weekly dilemma--how to plan a week in advance for a family of 3-5? Without fail, when I do a week's worth of shopping in one day I always manage to forget the one crucial item that prevents me from making several of the fabulous--or dismal--meals I had planned in my head.

Luckily I have discovered an alternative solution. When I am pressed for planning time, feeling less than creative, or just don't want to bother making my own grocery list, I rely on Kraft 1 Bag 5 Dinners. Visit Kraft's website and you'll find there are many options, so you won't be rotating the same 5 meals each week.

It's as simple as click and print. Choose an appetizing week, and they all are, and print the list with recipes. Before you go to the store, make sure you're not already stocked up--many of the ingredients tend to be handy to have around anyway. Then head for the store and pick up what you don't have...done!

Last week I did the Chicken & Seafood Bag: Monday was Delicious Broccoli-Cheddar Chicken Bundles; Tuesday we ate Cheesy Shrimp and Rice; for Wednesday we had Toasted Tuna Melts; Thursday was Creamy Chicken Pasta Toss; Friday they always suggest an easy open and your done meal, like Mac & Cheese or a frozen pizza--which I agree with!

The lists are always short and affordable. My shopping list was composed of 15 items, several of which I already had--like Miracle Whip--others were familiar reliable products I have trusted for years--like Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Oscar Meyer Bacon and Shake'n Bake--and the rest of the list included produce, to keep my family healthy and eating right.

Sometimes when I am feeling a little more creative--but not entirely--I'll mix and match meals or search Kraft's site for different ideas. Doing this I have found lunch and breakfast ideas too! I have found recipes for breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches and ideas for ways to make boring old pancakes exciting--like the Dutch Boy Pancake recipe I made last Sunday, it's an oven-baked pancake topped with fruit and cream cheese sauce!

Kraft Foods makes my week so much easier by removing the stress of planning for what I will make a week ahead. Their ideas are healthy and affordable--plus, when I go to their store page at ShopAtHome.com I get extra savings with Kraft coupons for most of my grocery list!

Breakfast All Day!

Sometimes, you just need pancakes...at 7 o'clock at night. Breakfast is irresistibly craveable. There are few foods that when I think about them long enough, I can literally smell them cooking...like bacon or sausage. And then I think about Pancakes, waffles, French Toast with orange juice and coffee. Yum!

IHOP is my favorite place to go to satiate my breakfast cravings. Their menu is extremely affordable and offers a wide variety of breakfast goodies. When I need pancakes...and I mean need, I can choose between blueberry, strawberry with banana, chocolate chip! If I feel like being healthy, which is doubtful, they have the Harvest Grain 'N Nut Pancakes served with blueberries or apples in cinnamon. And i have to mention the Pumpkin Pancakes that I look forward to arriving every fall!

Sometimes I have to have French Toast, and their basic version dusted with powdered sugar is always amazing... but if that's not enough I can get raisin French Toast, stuffed with cream cheese. Or I can get them unstuffed and topped with strawberries and whipped cream. The Belgian Waffles are noteworthy as well...also topped with fruit and cream.

When i want a little bit of everything I rely on IHOP's Signature Favorites. The Breakfast Sampler provides pancakes, bacon, sausage, ham, eggs and hash browns. The 'Rooty Tooty Fresh 'n Fruity is the same plus fruit and cream on top of the pancakes. My favorite, when I'm feeling indecisive is the 'Split Decision Breakfast--two eggs, two crispy bacon strips, tow sausage links, two pieces of French Toast AND two buttermilk pancakes!!

If you're not a sweet breakfast person, IHOP has a million omelet options! There's the Hearty ham & Cheese, which describes itself, the Chicken Fajita, the Spinach and Mushroom, the Garden Omelet, and the Colorado which is a meat lover's delight with bacon, sausage, beef, ham, onions, peppers and cheddar! Or build your own Omelet with a wide selection of ingredient to choose from.

If you need a heartier breakfast there's always the T-Bone Steak & Eggs served with pancakes or the Big Country Fried Steak & Eggs, substitute chicken if you prefer, smothered in gravy and served with pancakes. There's also the Thick-Cut Bone-In Ham & Eggs if beef's not your thing, served with hash browns and--of course--pancakes.

Every once in a while I run into a person who doesn't share my fondness for all things breakfast; I assume it's for people like these that IHOP bothers serving Cheeseburgers and Chicken Strips--but there you go, they have them.

I almost failed to mention the crepes! Available in sweet or savory; French, Swedish or German styles; the crepes are amazing! I go here enough that I have discovered ways to make the affordable menu downright cheap! Before you go, visit ShopAtHome.com for IHOP coupons and enjoy!

The Only way to Travel

I used to spend a lot of money going to travel agent when I vacationed. When I realized how much money I was wasting, I started booking my vacations myself online. So instead I was wasting a ton of time planning my vacations, rather than money. Recently I discovered a new way to travel, that's much more exciting, incredibly affordable and takes no time at all!

I've started impulsively booking trips on Expedia.com...I know, that sounds ridiculous, but it's actually great. When I have vacation time coming up I start scanning Expedia's site. The Deals & Offers Page will allow you to search for the perfect vacation. Try the Featured Deals, for example, and you'll find amazing vacation packages. You can even narrow down the options there by activity. Imagine if you know what you want to do on your vacation, but not where. Why not try out somewhere new?

With Expedia, you can search for road-trip destinations--by how much of one gas tank you'd like to use getting there. If you're looking for something bigger...search the all-inclusive resort packages! Expedia will help you find the perfect resort location, whether you're looking for special activities or spa services.

If you're feeling especially adventurous, search Expedia's Last Minute Deals. You can get amazing deals when hotels want to fill empty rooms...I just found hotel rooms in Las Vegas for $30! Search flights leaving from your area...I found a round trip flight to Vegas for $200. Together, that means you could take a two-week vacation in Las Vegas for around $600! That's amazing!

Expedia also offers a special service for business travel. Hotels recommended with professionals in mind...usually located conveniently close to the airport, with features like free shuttle services and Internet access. They have special offers on car rentals for professional travelers too, rent a car in Chicago for $50 a day, or in L.A. for $30!

Maybe Expedia is so easy to use because it was originally created by the brainiacs at Microsoft. It's the original online vacation planner and the most reliable. they offer flights, packages, and deals all over the world. No matter where you want to go, Expedia can get you there for less. Stop by the Expedia store page at ShopAtHome.com for extra deals with Expedia coupons. Plus, when you shop Expedia through ShopAtHome.com you get cash back!

Costco Is the Leading Wholesale Grocer in the Country

Three years ago I purchased a membership for a near by wholesale grocery store known as Costco. I prefer wholesale grocery stores because they focus on selling products at low prices, often at a very high volume. These goods are usually bulk-packaged and marketed primarily to large families much like mine.

I only had to pay $50per year to become a Gold Star member for Costco, which can be upgraded to Executive membership for an additional $50 per year. I recently upgraded my membership to the Executive status because I can now receive additional benefits such as car purchasing savings, home loans, car insurance, and even check printing services.

I chose Costco over other wholesale grocer stores such as Sam’s Club because of the exceptional benefits I receive! As a member of Costco, I even receive an annual “2% Rewards Check” of up to $500 from all my purchases made through Costco, excluding select items such as gasoline, alcohol, and tobacco.

Now that I am a member of Costco, I don’t have to bother going to an electronics store for a new computer or cell phone, because Costco offers the lowest prices around for the best name brands. Costco.com is currently offering a brand new Toshiba L675 17.3” Laptop Computer Intel Core for only $599.99 delivered after $100off!! Find this exact deal plus more summer sale deals like this only online at Costco’s homepage.

Becoming a member of Costco has helped me save thousands of dollars over the span of just three years. Find great deals with Costco Coupons, along with helpful reviews and feedback from other Costco shoppers right online at ShopAtHome.com.

ShopAtHome.com is a great place to find feedback and additional savings while shopping at Costco.com. For example, a customer posted a comment saying that Costco.com is offering great summer sale deals that are only available online for a limited amount of time. So I went to the Costco website and, sure enough, I was able to purchase a brand new Kodak M575 14MP 3.0 LCD Camera for $40 off if I ordered it online!

ShopAtHome.com is a helpful resource for any shopper. Find great Costco Coupons, and read reviews and personal posts from other shoppers.

Winter Work-Wear Worries

It's easy to dress for success in temperate weather, blazers and suit pants seem intended especially for pleasantly moderate weather conditions. Summer, though not so simple, has dressing techniques easily mastered--a good deal of cotton and linen will get you through the dog days of summer without too much embarrassing perspiration. Winter, however, is another matter. If you live in an area that has any kind of winter you'll know...it's very difficult to look like an attractive, well put together Eskimo.

The solution is finding a store that offers a variety of layering options and attractive outerwear--one such store is Eddie Bauer. Founded in 1920 by the store's namesake, Eddie Bauer was a true outdoorsman and initially intended his company as a sporting goods store. But when he patented the first down jacket in America Eddie Bauer stores quickly became known for clothing. Today Eddie Bauer offers a wide selection of outerwear, but also suiting, denim , and accessories--but all with a sense of reliability and practicality handed down from their sporting origins.

The key is to layer, beginning with Eddie Bauer's hand-knitted sweaters and cashmere cardigans. These thick layers are perfect for throwing over suiting pieces and basic button downs. Available in a wide variety of colors and styles--my favorites have knitted ruffles along the buttons--it's easy to look polished at work. A usual fear is that adding a sweater to an outfit everyday will make your look monotone, and no one wants to look the same each day. Be sure that your wardrobe includes a wide variety of sweaters--v-necks, cardigans, crew necks, pull-overs and vests--and you will easily avoid this pitfall.

When a sweater isn't enough, Eddie Bauer's outerwear is the next step in winter warmth. Depending on the climate you live in, there is a wide selection of options from Bauer. For example the Leather Quilted Bomber jacket is an excellent option, with premium down quilted in an elegant diamond pattern and a soft lamb skin leather with princess seams. Or if you need a winter coat with full coverage a great option is the Christine Down Trench Coat. A fusion of a classic suiting piece, the trench, and down comfort warmth, this coat is made of water-repellent cotton for comfort.

Eddie Bauer was born to be the go-to store for sporting and outdoor apparel and goods--the store that clothed the first Americans to scale Everest and fit American pilots in WWII with down flight suits--it has since evolved into something more eclectic. Eddie Bauer is the store to rely on for functional yet attractive and professional clothing. Already affordable, especially for the high quality, Eddie Bauer coupons are available online from ShopAtHome.com--as well as 5% cash back on all of your purchases. You can count on Bauer clothing to hold up, keep you warm, keep you dry and keep you looking classic.

Forever Friday

On Monday, Friday seems like an eternity away...the monotony of the work week can feel endless and after work, you just with it were Friday. The goal of T.G.I. Friday's is to fill that mid-week void--and when Friday finally come, celebrate it!

T.G.I. Friday's is a great place for families because everybody's happy. We can take the kids there, and they'll always find something they like--and so will we. I like ordering off of the Right Portion, Right Price menu, where I can pay a little less and have a smaller portion of T.G.I. Friday's wonderful entrees. My favorite, by far, is the Parmesan Crusted Chicken--marinated in Caesar dressing, grilled and crusted with a Parmesan topping, served with tomato and mozzarella salad and a handfull of cheese tortellini! It's delicious, and afterwards I don't have that awful, "I ate too much," gross feeling.

My husband likes the summer Caribbean menu...like the Caribbean Steak; i tried his Tropical Salad, it was great! The tropical flavors, some spiked with Captain Morgan Rum, are intense and so summery. They are the perfect way to rejoice in the warm weather.

When it's just my husband and I, and we want a big night out--without going over budget--we order off of T.G.I. Friday's 3 for $12.99 menu. It's a real 3-course dinner for a ridiculously low price! For starters, I like the Italian Wedge Salad, my husband goes for the Fried Mozzarella. For the main entree, they offer the Parmesan Crusted Chicken I like so much, but next time I'm going to try the new Sizzling Chicken Mexicali. my husband usually either orders the Cheeseburger or the Dragonfire Chicken--if he's feeling adventurous. For dessert, I get the Brownie Obsession--it's a chocolate lover's dream!--and my husband loves the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie.

Occasionally, I go out for lunch with my coworkers, and T.G.I. Friday's is my favorite go-to spot because of the Endless Lunch. All you can stomach soup salad and breadsticks! It's wonderful, with three soups to choose from, including a rotating soup of the day, I never get bored and the salad makes the breadsticks feel a little healthier.

When you eat at T.G.I. Friday's, everyday is Friday. With such variety, and low prices--which are even lower when you use T.G.I. Friday's coupons from ShopAtHome.com--there's no reason everyday can't be Friday. I just found a coupon for a free $10 gift card when you purchase 2 entrees and another for a free appetizer when you join T.G.I. Friday's Give Me More Stripes card program!

Pictorial

Long gone are the days of running your film to the photo mart and having to wait a solid hour for their return. It's almost impossible to find a film camera on the market. We've all made the switch to digital, and now we're exploring all of the wonderful possibilities digital has to offer. One of the newest resources for digital photography worth taking advantage of is the online photo service Shutterfly.

Shutterfly offers the ability to upload and store your digital photos online. Your photos will never be deleted or altered from their full resolution.

Choose to upload your photos and have Shutterfly automatically place them chronologically or customize your book yourself. Choose from 100s of backgrounds; personalize your font and cover.

I'm taking an idea from Shutterfly's online site this year for Christmas...I'm going to make my mom a recipe Photo Book! Using all of her well-used index recipe cards and digging up old photos of us baking and eating the recipes to present beside them. I think she'll really love it and I'll love that it's useful, beautiful and extra special.

Start slowly with Shutterfly's free online storage and image sharing...later take advantage of their photo printing services with Shutterfly coupons from ShopAtHome.com. i found great opportunities like free shipping on orders over $30, 30% off puzzles, posters and books, and 20% off cards.

Festival of Footwear

Some shoe stores specialize in their name brand product, and sell nothing else. Other stores carry low cost, low quality, off-brand shoes. Few are like Shoe Carnival and carry a wide array of well-known brands at exceptional prices. Both the brand exclusive stores and the discount shoe outlets have spotty records when it comes to carrying adequate supplies of popular sizes as well. Shoe Carnival stands out for stocking popular shoe brands in fashionable styles in bulk, so your size is always there. But what makes Shoe Carnival extra special is the Shoe Carnival MC, who livens up the shoe shopping experience with games, trivia and the Spin' N' Win Wheel. Spin and win the chance for extra savings on your favorite shoe brands.

A bit about a few of Shoe Carnival's most popular brands:

Sketchers are a favorite Shoe Carnival brand known for brightly colored sneakers as well as utility-style, durable work boots. Although there most recent incarnation is in the form of Shape-Ups, a shoe designed to help you exercise while going about your day. Walking normally in the Shape-Ups can help you burn more calories, tone muscles, improve posture, and reduce joint stress.

Converse, the quintessential American sneaker, has been making shoes since 1908 and has become a staple in the shoe world. Their most popular style, hands down, is the Chuck Taylor All Stars--named for the basketball player who made the style popular in 1917. The shoe has since become a rock and fashion icon available in countless designs--a friend of mine was recently married and the entire wedding party was fitted with personalized Chucks, and they found them all at Shoe Carnival!

There is an interesting story behind tow of Shoe Carnival's most beloved brands; Adidas, prominent for their line of shell-toed basketball sneakers, and Puma, producer of colorful running shoes: were originally one. The initial company was founded by two German brothers shortly after WWI. Rudolph and Adi Dassler had a falling out after WWII and split the company. Rudolph called his new company Ruda, using the first two letters of his names, and it was rebranded much later as Puma. Adi used his nickname and the first three letters of his name to come up with Adidas; later the name was said to be the acronym, "all day I dream about sports," as a marketing tool. Ironically, today these brands are once again sold side by side at Shoe Carnival.

My personal favorite Shoe Carnival shoe brand is Blowfish, which I love most for their wide selection of flats. They are all gorgeous, some are open toes, some are not; all are affordable and all are comfortable enough to walk in all day. Not that Blowfish heels should be overlooked!

Shoe Carnival carries the best brands and they carry enough of them that you can count on them having your size! Their prices are the lowest you'll find--but additional savings from ShopAtHome.com with Shoe Carnival coupons. Use your coupons in store, and don't forget to Spin' N' Win more savings at Shoe Carnival.

All Dolled Up

In the past, there were two ways to shop for makeup. One option was shopping at chain stores like Target, Wal-Mart or pharmacies and purchasing low-price (but often lower quality) makeup. Another option was shopping at department store makeup counters for high-priced name brand makeup. unfortunately the limited choices in makeup shopping left women in a tight spot between their wallets and their skin care.

Choosing department store makeup usually meant higher quality brands that were better for overall skin health--but one had to pay premium prices for such products. If a woman chose pharmacy sold makeup she was likely choosing product heavily supplemented with talc and cornstarch to make them less expensive. The poorer quality could mean poor performance, makeup that needs to be monitored and reapplied often--or worse yet, serious skin issues resulting from cheap ingredients.

What Sephora really offers their customers is the chance to shop a multitude of brands and products in one convenient location--and now, online as well. No matter what you're looking for; makeup for eyes, cheeks, lips and whole face; the Sephora beauty line alone offers everything you could ever need, plus the makeup tools for application. But Sephora also carries popular makeup lines Urban Decay, Bare Escentuals, Laura Mercier, and many, many others...including popular sets that are essentially dummy-proof makeup how-to kits.

Sephora is also noteworthy for its large supply of skin care aides. If you shop Sephora online you can try their Skincare Consultation; answer a few quick questions about your skin type and Sephora will recommend cleansers, creams and sun blocks to match your skin. Perricone MD, for example, is a popular brand for sensitive skin with normal skin issues like acne, dryness, and dark spots.

Hair products at Sephora are just as specific. Find shampoos and conditioners specifically for your hair type and trouble. Also find hair styling tools for every fashion--including GHD products, not available anywhere else.The GHD Purple Indulgence is the top of the line in ceramic straighteners, but this one also curls, thanks to pivoting plates and a rounded 1 inch barrel. use it to achieve sleek straight hair or perfect bouncy curls, without damage to delicate hair.

The wide selection of all natural products is another reason to shop Sephora. All natural and organic products are available in makeup, hair care, fragrance, bath and body. The fragrance selection at Sephora is worth exploring, especially with their Fragrance Finder, which allows men and women to shop fragrances by note.

Sign up as a Beauty Insider with Sephora and receive gifts and special offers. In addition, ShopAtHome.com has Sephora coupons for free gifts with purchase like a skincare sample kit, sample collection of Bare Escentuals, and a deluxe sample of Stila Black Diamond Mascara as well as a coupon for free shipping on orders over $50. Sephora also offers free returns on online purchases.

Thanks to Sephora, there's one place to go in store, or online, to find the entire spectrum of available makeup and beauty products available--including top of the line skincare products and a rainbow's palette of makeup choices. Shopping for makeup is fun again at Sephora.

Caring for Your Furry Family

My husband and I have one dog and two cats...they're quite a handful. The dog, Bogey, my husband adopted from the pound befoe we met. The cats, Berosus and Pyewacket, we adopted together, partially because our dog needed little brothers. They were rescued kittens brought in for a weekly adoption at PetSmart. It's very important to us that our pets are healthy and happy--so we completely spoil them, and PetSmart helps us do that.

The cats are pretty easy to care for, they keep each other entertained and the dog keeps them on their toes. We buy them Science Diet dry food for indoor cats and Friskies wet food for a treat--not that they don't get other treats, they really like Whisker Lickin's treats and Whiskas cat milk, it's lactose free so it won't hurt their tummies. We also get their toys from PetSmart. Berosus likes little plastic toys that bounce for chasing while Pyewacket preferes soft toys stuffed with catnip.

Bogey is a bit more difficult. He just gets so bored when we leave him at home while we go to work--I guess chasing cats only entertains for so long. We keep a supply of dog puzzle toys in the house and give him a different one every day. There's a Kong hollow chew toy, we fill with peanut butter, a soccer-type ball we stuff with treats, which randomly fall out while he plays. When we noticed he was eating too quickly we started putting his Science Diet dog food in Tug-A-Jug; it's a plastic bottle that unscrews on the bottom for filling, at the top the neck is protected by a rubber ring, so he cant break it, and stopped by a rope. To get his food he must play with the rope, as it moves in and out of the bottle food drops out. When he's motivated he can empty it out in less than half an hour!

Sometimes the toys aren't enough, and hte cats like a break from Bogey from time to time, so we take him to Doggie Daycare at PetSmart. While he's there he gets to play with the other campers while supervised by PetSmart trainers. We especially like taking him to PetSmart for daycare because they're willing to make special accomodations--Bogey can't stand small "yippy" dogs, so they only put him in with other large dogs to play. He's a Lab/Collie mix, a big ball of energy, but when we pick him up he's always tuckered out, so we know he had a good time.

There are also daycare add-ons: doggy ice cream, private trainning, they'll even wash and groom your dog before your pick up time for a small extra charge. Although, I just found online--at ShopAtHome.com--PetSmart coupons, including one for two free doggy daycare plays when you have your pet groomed at PetSmart!

Once in a while we go out of town, longer than we're willing to leave any of our pets alone for. The best place for them is PetSmart PetsHotel. They even have separate ventilation for the dog space and cat space, so they won't smell each other and stress out. PetSmart is the only place I trust to take care of my pets.

Great food, good company, and affordable prices is my ideal Saturday night with family and friends. Our favorite place to get quality American food is, of course, Applebee’s. We love to dine out at Applebee’s because they have the best American food in town and there are always great online coupons to get great deals anytime I dine out at Applebee’s.

A few nights ago I was searching for some Applebee’s Coupons online and stumbled upon some great Applebee’s Coupons on the website ShopAtHome.com. I found a coupon that offered a FREE appetizer at Applebee’s. All I had to do was click on the coupon, type in my zip code, and the website provided me with a Free appetizer coupon for Applebee’s within my local zip code. All I had to do was print out the coupon and I was good to go!

Last night, my family and I went to dinner at Applebee’s and we were apple to enjoy any appetizer of our choice for FREE. We simply provided our server with the coupon I had printed out the night before and got to choose any appetizer on the menu. Of course we chose the most expensive appetizer known as the Appetizer Sampler. Was large enough to share with the entire family, plus it included various samples of different appetizers that are all delicious. The Appetizer Sampler includes delicious mozzarella sticks, spinach and artichoke dip, a huge cheese quesadilla grande, and of course my personal favorite the boneless buffalo wings!

The Bottom Line on Diapers

In the confusion of the first few days with a new baby there's a lot to think about, though oodles of planning and preparing were probably done months beforehand, some things have a way of sneaking up on you--like diaper rash. What's worse, you're so wiped-out it's easy to let the little things slide, and some of those little things aren't always so little.

Diapers, for example, are easy to overlook...you're changing you're little guy, what seems like, a hundred times a day. Some of them need to be changed moments after they've been put on , how important could they possibly be? Chancer are you're using diapers bought in advance, way before meeting baby, not tha it's a bad idea to be prepared, but now it's time to buy diapers tailer to you baby.

I've found Huggies are the best overall option. You probably purchases a package of new born, size 1, in antcipation of the big day. But if the big day came a little early, those size 1s might be to big; premmies might be the best fit. Or maybe you're baby was a little bigger than average. If he's pushing 10lbs you'll need to go up a size for a comfy fit. Hopefully, you've also already discovered Little Snugglers, the gentelest line of Huggies diapers, especially made for newborns.

You might quickly discover that your baby has sensitive skin, even more so than the average newborn. Huggies are a breathable diaper, which should help with most problems, but if you find you're still having some, Huggies provides tips and tricks for every situation on their website--everything from pregnancy, preparing for the arrival, to entertaining a toddler. For sensitivity, Huggies recommends usng protective jellies or ointments, Huggies Sensitive Babywipes and, for concerns over irritants, Huggies Pure nd Natural Diaper--which are made of organic cotton, hypoallergenic and contain soothing aloe and vitamin E.

When baby gets going, it's time to switch to Huggies Little Movers to ensure that the fit is comfortable while they're taking off, and secure enough to stop leaks. Remember to always keep an eye on fit. Huggies offers many steps in sizes, so it's important that your baby is wearing the right size for their weight or you'll wind up with a ore bottom and lots of leaks.

When the day comes to lose the diaper, you'll probably still need them at night. For that Huggies offers Goodnites, diapers meant for older children who've mastered daytime potty use but not nighttime. Also give Huggies Pull-ups a try for the transition from diapers to undies.

Huggies offer a wide range of solutions for your baby's bottom needs--including helpful online tips--at an affordable price. You'll find many Huggies coupons available online; at ShopAtHome.com, for example, recently discovered a coupon for $3 off any Hugies product. When the big day finally comes, be prepared and rest at ease knowing Huggies has your baby covered.

Why Buffet?

Most of the time a buffet sounds like a good idea, particularly if you're very hungry--but it rarely is. The majority of buffets are made fast and cheap, the same way they're consumed, but the customer's stomach can pay the ultimate price. Not the case wit Golden Corral--they are dedicated to serving fresh, family-style meals at affordable prices. Here are a few examples of ideal buffet-situations, worthy of Golden Corral.

1. You and your spouse have been running around shopping with your brood of children, everyone is starving and the grocery store is the next stop. You know that if they don't eat beforehand your shopping cart will wind up twice as full. Lunch is the only answer. You take a vote...one wants chicken, another screams for hot dogs and the youngest want spaghetti--your husband suggests tacos, and all you want is something that you won't regret later.

At Golden Corral you can count on fresh, home-style favorites plus some. When no one can agree, take them to the Golden Corral buffet and let the kids pick and choose from countless items...your husband can get those tacos and you can hit the salad bar before indulging.

2. It's just the two of you, deciding on a restaurant shouldn't be that difficult. But what you're really in the mood for is tacos and spaghetti with a side of mashed potatoes, and your date is talking about pizza--but Chinese sound kind of good too.

When it's you being indecisive, Golden Corral is the place to go and not feel silly for mixing your food genres. You wouldn't be able to order fried chicken and popcorn shrimp off the menu at most other restaurants--and if you did you might have two full meals to eat, at a great price. Take your indecisive tummy to Golden Corral and fill your plate with bite-size, sample portions of everything your heart desires.

3. Your son has joined little league, the parents collectively promised to take them out if they won. But they lost, and now it seems even more important to take them out to boost morale. But where can you take twenty-some kids and their parents?

When you bring them whole team, make a reservation in advance and get a discount on groups of 25 or more! Everyone will find something and the parents can save some money.

Golden Corral may not be the place to go for a romantic dinner for two--not that I'll judge if it's your choice--but it is the place for a relaxing, family setting and home-style favorites at low prices. Visit ShopAtHome.com for Golden Corral coupons and more amazing Golden Corral specials.

No Need to Buy in Bulk

Anyone with a family knows, Costco is the best place to shop for savings--or perhaps if you don't have a large family, you've probably discovered savings to take advantage of at Costco stores. If you have shopped at Costco stores you'll know that the best way to save in store with Costco is to buy in bulk. Need tissues? You're bound to need them again, why not buy a year's supply! But only large families can consume 50 lbs of chicken fast enough to make the purchase worthwhile.

Those of us who do not have families that eat like a football team, or space for a lifetime supply of toiletries, have looked into Costco--and been awed by the potential savings--but realized that it's just not designed for our lifestyle. Until now. There is a new way to save at Costco--online.

You can find everything you need at Costco online and save on all of it without buying large quantities, in most cases, anyway--they wouldn't be Costco if they didn't offer 20% off 8 bottles of dawn, but 8 bottles are better than 80! Visit their store page on ShopAtHome.com for extra savings. When you reach Costco's main page you'll see that you can search everything, or just sale items. My favorite shopping technique is the "treasure hunt" option...all the best buys on one page an categorized.

The last time I visited the site I purchased a new cat tree for my cat. I had the 55" Kitty Cat Jungle Gym delivered for $99--that's $20 off. All of the sale items available from Costco are exclusively online, not in store, which perhaps explains why you don't need to buy in bulk to save. I don't know what i would do with 10 cat trees!

It's not a bad idea to pick up the items you have to have around the house from Costco online either. Remember that lifetime supply of tissues? Well buy them from Costco online and you'll get 45 cents off of each and every individual box! If you purchase your items with Costco coupons from ShopAtHome.com you'll save even more.

Lately I've had my eye on the Epic El 2980 Elliptical--I'm way too lazy for the gym, but maybe if I had the machine in my home, within a few feet of my bed, I might actually use it. Right now Costco online has it available for $699 with delivery, a $150 savings, or $799 delivered fully assembled, that's a $200 savings. I'll probably go with the assembled option, because of the excess of laziness I mentioned earlier.

Great Deals On Shoes At Piperlime

Many people are interested in a variety of different hobbies. Some people enjoy out door activities like mountain biking, rock climbing, running, or skiing. Others enjoy reading books, poetry, and writing, but my personal favorite hobby is definitely shopping. It’s what I love, it’s what I do, and it’s what I am good at.

Throughout my many years of shopping I have come to discover the best stores in town. Stores that provide me with the latest style and fashion trends that I like for a price I can afford.

Over the years I have become a loyal shopper at stores owned the Gap Corporation. Stores like Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, and my all time favorite Piperlime. Each of these stores sell quality clothing, accessories, and apparel for men women and children. Each of these stores focus on providing their customers with the latest fashion styles for affordable prices.

The great thing about these stores is that there are always multiple coupons available online for the public. I always find additional deals and discounts for my favorite stores with coupons from ShopAtHome.com.

For example, I’ve been dying to get my hands on those new Sketchers brand Shape Up shoes for women but the shoes are over $100. So I went online to find some Piperlime Coupons, and sure enough, I found a coupon from ShopAtHome.com that offered 10% off those exact Sketchers Shape Ups! This same coupon also offered free shipping, and 12% CASH BACK!

I went straight to Piperlime.gap.com and purchased the Sketchers that I’ve been dying to have for so long.

With the use of these outstanding Piperlime Coupons, I was able to buy my Sketcher Shape Up Shoes for less than $90, had them shipped to my house FOR FREE, and received 12% cash from my total cost.

Piperlime stocks over 250 footwear brands, including designer brands like Alberto Fermani, Hollywould, Giuseppe Zanotti, Belle by Sigerson Morrison, Kenneth Cole, Steve Madden, Sketchers and Converse. So next time, you decide to go shoe shopping be sure to check out the frequently updated Piperlime Coupons at ShopAtHome.com.

A Fashion Attack…. The Retro Is Back

There is nothing better than getting great deals on the latest, cutting edge fashion. Apparel and accessories go in and out of season constantly, therefore its always important be cautious of what you are purchasing, where you buy it, and especially how much these items are worth!

It is such a disappointment to see so many stores increase their prices on the newest fashion trends. For example, one of the most popular fashion “must-haves” are currently leggings. Yep, those horrible spandex fit pants that my mom used to wear in the 80’s; along with scrunchies in her hair and neon colored sunglasses much like the black ones that Tom Cruise work in the 1983 movie Risky Business. Gah, I remember laughing at my mom when she showed me those pictures of her wearing those ridiculous clothes. But now, that retro 80’s look has bounced back into the spotlight!

Leggings, retro shades, and neon colored tops can be found in almost any retail store, but many merchants are charging way more than what its worth. I would never spend more than 10 dollars on a pair of leggings because they will eventually go out of style, plus the material is thin and can be worn out quite quickly.

There is no better place to purchase those 80’s style leggings than Forever21. I prefer to shop at Forever21 because they have an endless selection of cutting edge fashion that is well-constructed and affordable.

Forever21 has a huge selection of leggings that range from a variety of bright neon colors, to animal print designs. With Forever21 Coupons, I was able to find deals on leggings for under $10!

Other retail stores are selling leggings for double the price, and they have less of a selection to choose from. I found the best selection of neon fashion tops, retro shades, and 80’s style leggings all under $21 with Forever21 Coupons.


Now, every teen is walking around in these 80’s retro leggings and sporting the old school Risky Business shades. It’s a neon color attack, plus the leggings are back!
