3 Ways to Score FREE Personal Care Items
Tweet |
Saving money on personal care items is one of the easiest and most effective ways to cut your grocery bill in half. Just think about how much you spend on soap, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. The money just adds up but there is good news, you can start saving on those items today! Not only will this help you increase your stockpile, but these are also great items for donating!
3 Ways to Score Personal Care Items Free or Nearly Free:
1. Know Your Prices This is key to saving money no matter what you are purchasing. It's always important to know your prices so you know if you are getting a good deal or not. Simply tracking the price of the items you purchase over time will help you realize the retail price, sale price and rock bottom price. Remember, we're looking for the rock bottom price so we can score the best deals.
2. Combine Sales & Coupons Once you find that rock bottom price, that is when you combine it with your coupon. If your shampoo is $1.50 at it's lowest price and you have a $1 coupon then you have .50 shampoo. I would say that's a great deal and a stock up price. This is where having multiple coupons comes in handy. You can do that by picking up extra newspapers or printing from websites like CouponDede.com.
This is where people miss it and think that just by using the coupon or only shopping the sale, they are getting a bargain. The combination of the rock bottom price plus sale is what really brings the amazing deal. The "trick" is to combine as many savings methods as possible and that's what I am demonstrating here.
3. Use Store Rewards Programs CVS offers Extra Care Bucks and Walgreens offers Register Rewards and Balance Rewards, these programs are amazing and when you combine those with coupons, you have a rockin' good deal. The programs are easy to use and they're free which is even better. Again, the point is to combine as many savings methods as possible. When you combine a sale and coupon together plus earn Register Rewards (for example), you are earning free money that can be used towards something else. That "something else" could also be on sale and when you combine a coupon, you could get it for free or nearly free. All you have to do is get the hang of using multiple programs.
Start small and watch those sales, you'll be able to see the price drop and the coupons that can make them even better. Even if you only use your coupon knowledge to save on personal care items and nothing else, you'll cut your bill dramatically! Plus, you can donate as well. Enjoy the savings!
Hope you caught me on the news today on News on 6, News 9 , KMOV, Kens5, WGEM and KTXD:
I work 45 to 50 hours a week and my fiance works 60 or more. How do I find time to do all of the shopping around and coupon and sale finding?
Everyone choose to be practical in saving money. Rational individuals know that the number 13 isn't really unlucky. But the shaky, uncertain economy may make it seem like it at the beginning of 2013. But by adopting a few easy tricks, you can save just a little every single day. How successful is that?

A prostatectomy is a surgery to remove the prostate gland. The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system. It makes and stores the milky fluid that forms part of semen. The gland sits below the bladder and in front of the rectum. The urethra (the tube that flows urine out of the body) runs through the protate gland.
The procedure may be:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A simple prostatectomy may be done to remove an enlarged prostate that is non-cancerous. A common cause of this type of growth is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It can interfere with the flow of urine out of the body. The surgery is done to allow urine to flow through again.
A radical prostatectomy may be done to remove a prostate gland containing cancer.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Before surgery your doctor may do the following:
Leading up to the procedure:
General or spinal anesthesia will be used. With general anesthesia, you will be asleep. Spinal anesthesia will make a specific section of your body numb.
The procedure can be done as:
An incision is made in the lower abdomen. The doctor will be able to see the prostate through this incision. The inner part of your prostate gland will then be removed. This procedure is not as common in the United States. It is considered when you have a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate.
An incision will be made in the lower abdomen between the belly button and pubic bone. The prostate gland and pelvic lymph nodes will be visible through this incision. The prostate will be detached from the bladder and urethra. The urethra is then reattached to the bladder. A main goal of treatment is to try to preserve nerve function related to bladder function and erections. Lymph node tissue may also be removed for testing. Your doctor may use these test results to decide whether or not to remove more tissue.
An incision is made in the skin between your anus and your scrotum. The prostate can be detached and removed through this incision. This is a less common surgical option because of some limits such as:
Five small, keyhole incisions are made in the abdomen. Robotic arms and a small camera will be passed through these incisions. The robotic tools allow wider and more flexible range of motion. The robotic arms will be controlled by a doctor at a console. The prostate and other tissue will be cut out with these robotic arms. This type of procedure may cause less scarring than other methods.
A catheter tube will be inserted to drain your bladder. Water may be flushed through the catheter to reduce blood in the urine.
The catheter may be left in place for up to 3 weeks. This will let you urinate more easily during the healing period. After a radical prostatectomy, a drain may also be placed to help fluid drain from the surgery site.
2-4 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is 2-3 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
You will monitored in the recovery room. The hospital staff will check your breathing, blood pressure, and pulse. Right after the procedure, you may be given medication such as:
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
Complete recovery may take up to 6 weeks. During this time you may have to change or restrict activities until your doctor says it is okay. Arrange for help at home for a couple of days.
You may be given specific exercises to do at home to promote healing and maintain strength. Pain can be managed with medications.
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Standard Deviation: measures the degree to which a fund's performance has varied from its average performance over a particular time period. The greater the standard deviation, the greater a fund's volatility (risk). Sharpe Ratio: is a risk-adjusted performance statistic that measures reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better a fund's risk adjusted performance. Alpha: measures the difference between a fund's actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta. Beta: measures a fund's sensitivity to market movements. The beta of the market (Russell 2000 Growth Index) is 1.00 by definition. R-Squared: measures how closely a fund's performance correlates to the performance of the benchmark index (Russell 2000 Growth Index), and thus is a measurement of what portion of its performance can be explained by the performance of the index. Values for R-Squared range from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates no correlation and 100 indicates perfect correlation. Tracking Error: measures how closely a fund's return follows the benchmark index returns (Russell 2000 Growth Index). It is calculated as the annualized standard deviation of the difference between the fund and the index returns. Information Ratio: measures the excess return of a fund divided by the amount of risk the fund takes relative to the benchmark index (Russell 2000 Growth Index). The higher the information ratio, the higher the excess return expected of the fund, given the amount of risk involved. Upside Capture %: explains how well a fund performs in time periods where the benchmark's returns (Russell 2000 Growth Index) are greater than zero. Downside Capture %: explains how well a fund performs in time periods where the benchmark's returns (Russell 2000 Growth Index) are less than zero. EPS Growth Rate (3-5 year forecast): indicates the long-term forecasted EPS growth of the companies in the portfolio, calculated using the weighted average of the available 3-to-5 year forecasted growth rates for each of the stocks in the portfolio provided by Factset Estimates. The EPS Growth rate does not forecast the Fund's performance. Price/Earnings Ratio (trailing 12-months): is a valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its actual earnings per share over the last twelve months. Price/Book Ratio: is a ratio used to compare a company's stock price to its tangible assets, and it is calculated by dividing the current closing price of the stock by the latest quarter's book value per share. Price/Sales Ratio: is a valuation ratio of a stock's price relative to its past performance. It represents the amount an investor is willing to pay for a dollar generated from a particular company's operations. Price/Sales is calculated by dividing a stock's current price by its revenue per share for the last 12 months. Weighted Harmonic Average: is a calculation that reduces the impact of extreme observations on the aggregate calculation by weighting them based on their size in the fund.

This ring is very thin and delicate looking and that is exactly what I was looking for ! It looks delicate but it also feels very sturdy.It matches my engagement ring perfectly.I am very very happy! I just wish they had an option for a little better quality diamonds! They are sparkly though..The ring I think is also comfortable.The price fantastic!
The ring is beautiful. Matches my engagement ring very nicely. There are one or two diamonds that I wish were a bit brighter... the coloring is pretty bad. It's sad too because if it wasn't for that one diamond I'd rate this product much higher.
Sweet LITTLE ring, but I had to return it, because it doesn't come in half sizes, and it was too small. I was hoping it would fit, but sadly it didn't. However, I'm still fighting to get a credit for the ring; the warehouse has had it for 8 days and still no credit! But that's an Overstock.com issue not a ring issue!
I really like my ring because the rose gold color is vibrant and the diamonds really sparkle. The only disappointment is the width of the band- - very narrow.
Ring was pretty ,Sizing was right.It was so small.,so I sent it back.
Pretty ring. It is understated, the diamonds are small but it's perfect for everyday wear.
This is my wedding band. Best value and absolutely gorgeous AND in style! Spend the rest of your wedding band budget on food, booze or music! ;)
Perfect feminine bands for an engagement ring Have had so many compliments and saved a ton Diamonds have really stayed sparkly
The band is very delicate, and the diamonds and rose gold compliment each other very nicely. I love this ring, and have been looking for a rose gold ring like this for a while. It is the best deal I have found, and is exactly what I was looking for! If you like simple jewelry that makes a statement, buy this ring!
I am so very pleased with this ring! I just love rose gold and have been on the look out for a rose gold eternity band that was quality, so that I could wear it every day, beautiful, so that I could look down at my hand and feel special, and affordable, so I didn't cost my boyfriend a ton of money. He said that I could pick out whatever I wanted for our one year anniversary and this ring is exactly that! The only thing I wish is that it came in half sizes. I have extremely tiny hands and while I decided that I wanted to wear this on the middle finger of my right hand; a seven is still too big. I was worried that a six would be too small, but now I wonder. That is the only thing that I would have changed about the product; but otherwise-BEAUTIFUL! I very much recommend this ring if you want a delicate look or are pairing it with an engagement ring.

The Day Care Trick is a trick that can be used in almost any version of the Pokémon games to level up Pokémon in the Day Care while you are not even playing the game.
- Pokémon Game
- DS/ DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL, 3DS
- DS/ DS Lite / DSi / DSiXL / 3DS Charger
- Pencil or Tape or String or Rubber band (for the 3DS circle-pad)
- 7 or 8 hours
The goal of this is to tape or tie down a button in a way so that you will either continuously walk or walk into something, and then be sent back, so that it counts as a step. Each game has a secret place to do this, and the locations are listed below, for example find a whirlpool on Route 41 and run into it repeatedly. Tape the button down and leave it, it will take some time [approximately 1 step per second (one step equals 1 exp point)] but it does work.
Place your Pokémon in the day-care, then walk up to the mud-slide thing that you can only go up on a full-speed mach bike. In order for this to work, make sure your character is not riding the Mach Bike whilst attempting this. Tape or tie down the button so that you move about half-way up the slide, then come back down, or use the pencil to hold the button down, then close your DS, plug it in, and leave it while you sleep for the night, or while you are at school or away from home for a few hours during the daytime.
Use the teleporters at the Aqua Hideout. Use the top teleporter in the room with heaps of teleporters and go to the one directly below it it is also slow but it works (2 steps every 3 seconds).
Fire Red/ Leaf Green
Go to the eighth gym, where there are move tiles. Find a tile in a place that will push you up against the wall of a stop tile, and tape, tie or use a pencil to hold that button down so that you move into the move tile and get sent back a few spaces and walk back up to the move tile. Plug in your DS Charger and leave overnight or for a few hours.
Actually, it's better to do it in the Rocket Hideout in Celadon; You can tape down the B button and run there and there are move tiles there, too.
Go to the Fuego Ironworks, just north of Floaroma Town and do the same thing as in FireRed/LeafGreen. Tape down the B, Button if Nessesary. Plug in DS Charger and leave overnight or for a few hours
Walking forward from the entrance of Ecruteak Gym will drop you into the chasm and teleport you back to the entrance, so you can tape up on the dpad and accrue steps this way.
Black/White & Black/White 2
Go to the Gear Station then get in the second-outer most column (this is because if you are in the outermost ring, you will walk into a machine) and hold down either the up or down arrow. Plug in DS charger and leave for a while.
To solve a $$ issue go to Cheren once daily (B/W only), battle the Elite Four, or Bianca on weekends (B/W only). If you have stones or items like that, you might as well sell them. Check a Pokédex guide and make sure you do not need it first. You obtain $200–$20,000 for each relic item. Also millions of high-price items in cave on way to Giant Chasm.
If you are in a cave and doing this, you may encounter wild Pokémon.
If you don't have a lot of money, don't try this. The equation for the amount of money you pay is as follows:
100 + 100*x= Price x=amount of levels increased
If you put a level 2 Zigzagoon in the day care and raise it to level 100, it would cost 100+(98x100),which is 9900 Pokémoney. That may not sound like alot, but with two Pokémon to level 100, it could be bad news for you. Use the Maniac in Icirrus City to sell at double prices.
D/P Mudslide
The Mudslide trick on your bike does not count as steps in Diamond and Pearl. The Mudslide only works in Ruby and Sapphire but it does not work in Emerald.
Hardware Issues
Note: the buttons can suffer damage during the use of the tape technique if it is not done carefully.
