Saving Through Coupons

I envy people who reside in America because of coupons. From what I know, every newspaper printed there has loads of coupons, which can be clipped and used accordingly. I know many friends, who I have yet to meet personally, who are into clipping coupons. They are addicted to doing so. Why wouldn’t they be? By cutting coupons from newspapers and even magazines, they are saving loads of their hard-earned money. An online buddy of mine was able to buy a brand new LCD TV at 40% off by using toshiba coupons from a magazine she is subscribed to. Amazing right?

Here in the country where I live, coupons are not that popular. Although I know one company that consistently gives out some through their annual calendar. Every New Year, Mercury Drug gives its loyal customers a calendar, which contains coupons for different brands. Each month has a different set of coupon. You already have a new calendar, you also have a chance to save when you buy medicine from them through the use of coupons. Smart!

How I wish many companies give coupons an idea.

Into Rings

I have mentioned here before that given a chance, I would invest in jewelry. Actually, we have this ring project that we just have to push back to prioritize more important things. I wanted to have a thicker wedding ring so hubby and I said they when we have extra money, we will look for a ring maker. We will have our current rings melted and included to the metal that will be used to make our new wedding bands. That was the plan.

Maybe since that has not come to life, I keep on checking out rings at jewelry shops and even online. I actually found one that I would love to have. I saw mothers rings and one has a stackable birthstone design. I am thinking of having all our birthstones in one ring. Cool, eh? Not only that, I really think it is very fashionable and can really draw anyone’s attention. I wonder how many stones can be stacked.

Maybe I will put that in my wish list for the coming celebrations. Valentine’s is next week, impossible to get it as my message has not yet crossed. Maybe for Mothers’ day. I wish!

What Does Your Name Mean?

I was asked this question many times already. I really think it can be a great conversation starter, if only the person who asked genuinely wanted to know and the person asked knows the answer.

I anticipated that my children will also be asked the same question in the future. I am actually practicing already in my mind how I will explain to them where their dad and I got their names. No, they are far from celebrity baby names but they are meaningful for us.
