Groupon Deal! Woodbridge, VA: Unlimited Car Washes for $35 for 3 months Hurry! Ends soon!

Groupon, Uncategorized
  Winter is coming and it is super important to keep your cars washed especially when the salt and chemicals appear on the roads. In the past several years we have had some amazing snow falls and in the Washington Metro area including Northern Virginia the salt trucks and chemical trucks put it down BEFORE the storms comes so it is a great idea to wash your car as soon as possible and frequently when it is above freezing.  Otherwise, dealing with exhaust leaks is a big pain! My hubby and I came across this Groupon and I thought I would  share this with you all.  Smart Wash is located in Woodbridge VA in Prince William County which is very close to Potomac Mills Mall and not to far from…

How to find Toilet Paper Deals?

Coupons, Uncategorized
When my daughter was born, I started to notice prices on diapers and shortly after that I realized I could save a lot using coupons and that began my blog and the rest is history.    I started finding deals and sharing my deals with others.   Even during my pregnancy with twins I worked as hard as I could to keep up with coupons and now that my babies are 5 months old I'm still finding minutes of time in between playing with my kids and doing household obligations to find deals and run to the stores. However, my stockpile has dwindled and I just realized this week that I'm almost out of toilet paper and paper towels. Scream! What is this frugal family of 5 going to do? I'm on…
