My Laminator

Great deal today on Amazon.com if you are in the market for a home laminator ...

Scotch Thermal Laminator $17.99

It's not super fast, but I bought this same model last year and it has been great for doing the few small number of things I need to do. This is a great price too -- I actually only paid $16.99 a year ago, but I haven't seen it that cheap again since then. It has a pretty small footprint and having one at home means that I don't have to run to Staples to get something laminated and risk being tempted to buy more office supplies I don't need!!

This does laminate full 8.5x11 sheets, so you can laminate signs or flyers. Don't just think of lamination as a way to protect something for multiple uses ... also think of it as a way to add body. Like a volumizer for paper. :)

Living Rich With Coupons

I've been playing around with cutting coupons and my friend turned me on to this great website:
http://livingrichwithcoupons.com/
If you are interested in saving money on your grocery bill, I suggest you check out this site. She has some fantastic ideas.
The basic concepts are:

1. wait til something goes on sale to use your coupons


2. 'stockpile' enough of frequently used items so that you don't have to buy until it goes on sale again (sale cycles are approx 4-10 weeks)

There are tons of coupons available online that you just have to print out.

I have already gotten a bunch of stuff for 70-90% off original price -- even gotten some things for FREE!
