More Samples

Well I always love free sample of any kind. It allows me to try the products before I go and spend the money on them. I am also very glad if I try the sample and I realize that I do not like it then I saved myself from spending money on something that I would not use. In this case I already use a lot of these products but here are some general samples that you might use as well. they are again good for vacations.

Looking for Parts?

Have you ever had a jeep? I have never had one before. I actually have not really had many cars in my lifetime. I guess I have not really needed them. I always wonder why some people think they need a new car every year. It always made me wonder if they really loved always making those payments and never being finished with them. I would think that if you were always upgrading your car then you would have to start over with your payments every time. I sure am glad when we mail our last car payment in to the bank. I would surely not want to have another payment for many years if ever at all. I guess I would have to if the car broke down but not before that's for sure. Ken and I always look for parts to fix our cars if they need something replaced. They have jeep accessories online if you need them, as well as any other vehicle you may have.

Something I use

Now this is actually something I use all the time, it called True Lemon. It can be added to bottled water for that fresh lemon taste or you can use it in your cooking. I happen to like it on chicken when I make lemon pepper chicken on the grill. I am a huge fan of lemons as I eat them as a fruit. However I don't always have them in the house and I do not like the artificial taste some give. That is why I am a huge fan because it actually does taste like a true lemon with out any artificial ingredients.

Clean Teeth

Clean teeth has to be one of my favorite feelings. I love that when I do to the dentist my teeth feel great. I always catch myself running my tongue across them and feeling the fresh feeling. I have been going to the dentist since before I could talk. That is one thing that I always remember my parents making me do as a child. I did not go to the doctor unless I was sick but the dentist was always a must. There was no missing an appointment. I remember when I meet Ken he always used to go to the dentist school at the community college. He would absolutely hate it because it took all day just to get his teeth cleaned. Well one day when I told him I had an dentist appointment he thought I was going to be gone all day. I never was there for more than an hour I told him. He was shocked and finally decided to go to a real dentist and actually use the dental insurance he was paying for out of his pay check. Finding a dentist is really not that hard. If you happen to live in Texas you can check out a Plano dentist and see if you live near them. You can even make an appointment with them right online as well as giving them a call. They can help you get that fresh dentist feeling.

Free Calendar

When ever you go to the stores now you just happen to see they are selling calendars. Well that is not to amazing considering that the end of the year is right around the corner. I however never buy a calendar because I always have about ten of them free from the mail. I sign up for them and then share them with my family if they need one. That is one thing I don't think I would every buy. Here is a link to get one for yourself.

Got a Truck

One thing that I have always liked are really big Trucks. I'm not talking about a semi but the regular trucks people drive around town. I have always wanted a truck myself but I don't really think that would work for us right now with three small kids all in car seats. I just might get a truck someday when the kids are all older. When I was younger I always loved taking my dads truck places. I thought it was really fun partially because I got to sit int the front seat because there was really no back seat to the truck. Then when Christmas came around I would always want to buy my dad truck accessories for his gift. The one thing I always would buy him every year was a truck seat cover. He needed one because after a year they would wear out. I just might order my dad one this year as a matter of fact. I remember his truck seat needing a cover.

Free toothpaste

I have a free sample of toothpaste for you. This is one of the samples I like to stock up on so that when my family takes a vacation we don't have to bring a huge tube with us and I also don't have to go to the store and buy the travel size. I like to take a couple samples so that I can toss them on my way home. When you go on vacation you always return home with more than you came with so I try to always keep the load light. Here is the link to get yours.

Precious Memories

Did you ever notice that with a digital camera it is always so easy to just put the pictures you have on your computer and save them without ever printing out your images. Well I do that all the time the only thing is with me I also always take my camera to the store and burn them on a cd before I delete them. The reason being because my pictures are so important to me that I would be devastated if I lost them. It is so easy to forget though since we now have so much technology that we no longer use actual film. That is why online backup is so important. It protects all of the contents on your computer so you will never loose anything you will miss. Ken is pretty good at always backing up the computer every couple months just in case something should happen. Don't loose everything that is important to you. Back your computer files up just in case a virus should strike.

Change your Filter

Every month is actually the rule when it comes to changing your air filters on the furnace. That is one thing that I did not know when we first moved into our house. I was working one day at Menard's and I was talking to a fire man and he was telling me that you are suppose to change it once a month. He was saying that people do not realize the extra money they are forking over every month just because their furnace has to work over time to get the air out because their filter is blocking it from coming through. From that day I always make sure to have the filter changed every month. Ken actually does it on the last day of the month every month. We always buy about a dozen filters at a time because some months you can not get them as easily. The air still gets pushed through the filter when the aid conditioning is on so a filter change is necessary then as well. Change your filter and notice the difference on your energy bills.

Green Tea

I myself am not much of a tea drinker. It's not that I don't like tea because the truth is I have never even tried tea before. I don't know why but it reminds me of coffee in which I have also never tried. I have a fear of staining my teeth with it. I also hate it when people have coffee breath and I don't want to be one of those so I stay away from the drink. Green tea is suppose to be really good for you. So here is a free green tea sample.

Where to stay

I have always been one to stay in hotels. I remember when I was little we would always take a family vacation every year. My parents would plan it out all year every place we would go to make sure that we seen all the historical sights in the area as well as the fun places to go. Sometimes we would stay in hotels and sometimes we would stay in my grandparents vacation houses they had. We would always stay in their house when we went to Florida. It sure saved us a lot of money but now that they have passed we need to find daytona beach hotel deals so that we can still save money and have a great time. The way I figure it is that if you save on your hotel you have more money to spend on attractions, and when I go on vacation I love to visit all the attractions.

Breath Right

One thing that I have never tried was the breath right strips. I don't really know why but I just always assumed that they were for people that would snore really loud. I know it is not a healthy condition for people to snore. That's is one reason that I am super glad that Ken and I do not snore. I remember my mom always sleeping with ear plugs because my dad used to snore so loud that she could not sleep. I never want that to happen to Ken and I. I did however see that these strips are also used for congestion. I sure would have liked to know that last week when my sinus infection was terrible and keeping me up at night. Maybe I will give them a try since I am sure Ken or I will have another one before winter is over. Here is the link for a free sample.

Ping Pong

When I was a little girl on thing that we always had was a ping pong table. I don't really know why all of us kids thought it was so much fun but we really could all play for hours. May parents had a table and so did my grandma and grandpa. On the holidays all us kids would have competitions with one another and it was always a good time. I guess that is why I still really enjoy playing games with my kids and my family. I think that games bring a family much closer than watching a movie or television together. They have some really nice ping pong tables online that I would love to have for our basement. Now if we just had the extra space to play down there I would surely order one. I just know the kids would love it.

A new Bath

This is for sure going to be our winter project. I would like it to get done something this year but you never really know what will come up. Ken has been wanting to rip the tile off the walls of the bathroom. I know it will be a bigger project than it seems because all the dry wall will have to be replaced after the tiles get torn off. I did find these Toto toilets and think that it will be a nice space saver in our small bathroom because it does not have the big tank on the back of the seat. That means less area to hold germs and faster cleaning for me. I think I might look into one of these toilets. With five people using the same toilet it gets pretty dirty fast. I will have to run it past Ken and see what he thinks.

Free Diaper

When you have a baby nothing beats a free diaper. That is one thing that I always sign up for even if I don't need the size or maybe it is to big but I will always use it down the line. If the diaper is to small I always pass it down to Madison and she uses it for her baby dolls. She is always asking me for Aidan's diapers and it is much less expensive for me to give her all the samples I get in the mail. She also thinks it came just for her baby which is also a cute reaction I love to get. So here is a free Costco diaper sample.

The Stroller

When Ken and I first found out that we were having our first baby we were very excited. I now have three kids and I have to say nothing is as exciting as the very first baby. The first time is when you go to all the stores and register for all the different little baby item most that you never even use. It is amazing at how with your first baby everything seems like a good idea but you soon realize that the wipes warmer you thought was a great idea really is not worth having to add water to every day just to change a diaper. I did notice thought that it would be a great idea to have a stroller that had more that one function. For one it saves time and space, and it also saves money so you don't have to buy so many different baby products. I was really impressed with the Baby jogger city select because it has over 16 different functions. It goes from a stroller to a bassinet. Now that is impressive and worth the money. It sure would be on my list if I was in the market for a stroller.

Free Dental Floss

I have to tell you that I am such a teeth person. I love brushing and taking care of my teeth and my kids. I brush at least twice a day usually many more times than that. I also am using dental floss picks every night. I however have to use certain ones because my teeth are so closer together sometimes I can not get some brands between my teeth. That's why when it comes to my teeth I like samples to see if it is going to work for me. Here is a sample I just found.
