Coupon codes for the pervert in you

I was on the PayPerPost site* (use my e-mail savvysunshine@hotmail.com for referral) and I found this opportunity for coupon codes by Coupon Chief.com. Naturally, I had to find the raunchiest coupons to post about and I did!

Check out these coupon deals for Frederick's of Hollywood (yup, Frederick's of Hollywood!) - Who'd a thunk that they would have a coupon for Frederick's? Pretty good deal actually - $10 of $75 purchase or a $20 gift certificate with a purchase of a bra. I know Tara would appreciate me purchasing something from them and with a coupon - fabulous!

Should you not be a pervert like me, they have a wide selection of merchants to choose from, like Target.

*To be read as, "Yup, I'm getting paid for this post."

What? I get paid to blog?

I think it's time I came clean:

I use PayPerPost!

*gasps and hides from Maidink*

I also have other supposedly money-making thingies (yes, very technical, I know) on my blog. These are otherwise known as Google Adsense and Amazon Affiliates postings. Occassionally, I use other forms, too.

*running screaming from Maidink because she is chasing me with her sarcastic wit and telling me Google Adsense is the devil's spawn*

Calm down Maidink (and everyone else out there who feels the same way)!

Before you get your panties (or boxers if you're like Tara) in a bunch, let me tell you why I choose to monetize my blog. I got bills, I mean lots of bills (I'm talking over $9000 in cc bills, not to include student loans). I also have dreams and aspirations - I want to travel, I want to get married to my baby, hell, I want to afford a ring for my baby. With those bills, my dreams are stifled big time (what the hell can a person do when they pay $400 a month in cc bills?).

So, I use the money that I make to put toward my bills and my dreams.

Is $4 or $5 or even $10 gonna make a huge difference with those bills? Nope, but it will make some difference and that's what matters. Plus, I'm already at work, farting around, so I might as well make some money while I'm doing it.

For what it's worth, I've only made $20 so far because I'm so picky about the opportunities that I choose.

Please note, I will NEVER write a post that I disagree with or that can't somehow be related to my overall topic (granted, I'm pretty good about relating random ish to this blog - remember this?). There are a LOT of posts that I could write that would make me a buttload more money (a few people have made over $3000). But I choose not to. Read my Disclosure policy for more info.

Incidentally, if you'd like to join, use my e-mail address (savvysunshine@hotmail.com) - I get referral money and I'll split it with you if you'd like. I found out about it from one of the many Personal Finance Blogs that I read.

Alright Maidink, let me have it!

I'm a two-fisted drinker!

Last night, Tara and I went out to dinner (Subway). Afterwards, we briefly stopped by Publix (our local grocer) for their Holiday Feast - food tasting-thingy. Tara knew that it was going on, but she wasn't sure if we would be able to make it - so she surprised me in a round about way.

Anyway, it's cool because they let you sample all of the food and drinks that they are trying to sell for the holiday season. They even give let you sample wines. Normally, I don't try the wines, but this year, I've decided to be a bit more mature and I tried them all! There were a bunch of different types and such. After drinking the equivalent of maybe a HALF GLASS, I got TIPSY! Yup, folks, I'm a lightweight!

And by two-fisted, I mean two of those itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie sample cups!

Incidentally, there were none of the diet wines that this cat mentions on his (or her) site. I'm not sure I get the entire concept of diet wines. I mean, unless you're an alcholoic, do you really need to worry about the sugar content? In any event, go check out the site. It's pretty interesting, although there are a few typos and the formatting needs some work. But don't let that bother you; it's still informative. (Plus, they have a wine gift basket feature.)

OKMG - Related - Musicbox

OK, this is so cool. It's a music box that plays voice-recordings. Basically, people call in to an 800 number and leave messages. Someone in charge picks the best recordings (important if you have 100 people calling and leaving messages). Then the company, VoiceQuilt, puts it all together; they create a playlist and put it in a music box that you pick. Obviously, this is great for a wedding *ahem*, but it will also work for an anniversary or milestone b-day (hello, I'm gonna be 30 soon...eep!).

Anyway, as it relates to OKMG (I always bring it back, yo!), this would be really cute for T as a surprise for her b-day or Christmas or something (Hello - 6 year Anniversary!). Hmm, when T and I make it through this and OKMG is a success, this would be great for song clips and little sweet somethings (versus nothings). She loves it when I do stuff that is a surprise and that makes her mushy...

I would have put a pick up to show you, but I couldn't find a small enough one. Check the website for the demo.

OKMG – Related - Snapfish Memory book...?

I don’t want to rely on the same ideas/tricks to execute OKMG, so I’m trying to keep my ideas fresh. (This also allows me to use the tried and true ones when I have no other option!)

I was thinking about some stuff to do and I remembered that T has asked me several times to make her a memory book or a calendar out of some of my favorite photos and, true to form, I’ve never done it. I noticed that Snapfish has 2-for-1 memory books (You can also save $5 off a $15 order - click here for Snapfish coupons.). I’m not so familiar with online photo sites, so I don’t know what it would involve.

Plus, I’m concerned that it would take up a bunch of time and we know that’s something I don’t have. But, maybe because it's online, it won't take that long. I think this is something to put in queue to do when I have some more time – Oooh! Can we say Christmas or Chanukah? (No school!) Hello, I am so smart!

PS I found the coupon on this coupons site. There's a bunch of other coupons on there as well. Check it out, yo!
