We've moved to "That Went Well.net!"

We're giving away $50.00 gift cards every day for a week! Come by and win yours!
Hey, you know all those amazing women who have coupons for everything in their basket? Have never spent more than 30 cents for an article of clothing? Can make a 16 foot Christmas Tree out of dryer lint and elbow grease?
I am SO not one of those women. (This is not new information to anyone who knows me.) But what I DO have are two things: an increasingly expensive family and an increasingly dwindling income. So I am getting off my slacker fanny and figuring out the whole budget thingie.
If you already have your coupons beautifully alphabetized in your color-coordinated folder, you’ll find plenty of goodies here. If you’re shoving them in your glove box and patting yourself on the back if you remember to bring your reusable bags into the store (autobiographical, that!) there’s lots for you, too.
The ONE really great thing I have to offer? The Sneaky Inside Tip: Since The Todd and I have our own morning radio show, I often hear of deals and discounts early. Or maybe one of our clients wants to send the love your way. Or maybe I tried something out first and really messed it up so I know what worked and what didn’t (also, autobiographical.) But the end goal is the same: finding you ways to save money, save time, find some balance, and maybe even live a little more luxuriously than you might have before.
That’s a GOOD goal!
If you’re looking to make money to help out your dwindling paycheck, you’ll find some options here! I try to post only what I know is authentic and reputable. Click onto “Surveys and Reviews 4 Profit” for more information.
Um, they said I had to have a bio. Here goes…
I tricked the world’s most amazing man into marrying me. We have glorious twin boys who are long and gangly, just like their daddy. I’ve never eaten a birthday cake I didn’t like. I spend most of my waking hours trying to be ingratiating enough to keep people listening to our radio show–we’re “Todd and Erin” on B98.7 in Salt Lake City. You can also check out toddanderin on Facebook and ToddandErin on Twitter. Same great taste, less filling.
Seriously! Head over! www.thatwentwell.net!

We're Moving!


WWW.THATWENTWELL.NET

I'm thrilled to show you the new Blog--still called "That Went Well..." but with a new address and piles of new features! It's easier to navigate, and there's faster ways to find just what you want, like Organics, or Making Money At Home, Giveaways, or Free-Bees, etc. It's still a bit of a work in progress, but I'm so excited to share it with you! Comments and opinions always appreciated, and THOSE are easier to add, too. ;)


We'll be giving away a $50.00 gift card to Lowe's this week and will draw on Tuesday, 9.15.09 To celebrate the blog's new launch, we'll have SEVERAL $50.00 gift cards to places like Home Depot, the Gap, Old Navy and Kroger's to offer next week. Stop on by, set a spell, bookmark us! C'mon, we're family!

Money-making at home...

...The Todd is obsessed suddenly with at-home survey companies that help you make a little extra cash. Because I love you, I try to test everything out before I post it here, and because I'm occasionally a moron, I'm pretty sure I've found all the sleazy companies that aren't worth your time. Here's one that's good and reputable--you'll get $5.00 for every survey and they're prompt about sending your checks. It's called "MineField Online." Sneaky inside tip: if you DO participate in any of the free introductory offers, KEEP A LIST RIGHT BY YOUR COMPUTER SO THAT YOU REMEMBER TO CANCEL BEFORE YOU ARE CHARGED! Remember also to open a free gmail account specifically for your online adventures so that your regular or family email account doesn't get buried in spam.

Lowe's Kid's Workshop

Another cute Free-Bee this Saturday at Lowe's! You'll want to sign up early, the free clinics fill up fast...your kids can make this cute drum! https://www.lowesbuildandgrow.com/step1.asp

Dragging through your morning?

This is an interesting idea--an energy patch! It entertains me because after getting up for our morning radio show at 4am for the past 20 years--I've tried every caffeine delivery method but intravenous...and a patch. The pack includes a 4 patch sample. Spot On Energy Patches combine energy ingredients—B vitamins, green tea extract, caffeine and taurine. To get them free, add them toyour cart, and you'll then need to start the checkout process and fill out your mailing info. Shipping is FREE too, and you will not have to enter any credit card info!

CVS has an up to 90% off summer clearance sale!

I trotted into our local CVS yesterday for some big beach towels and sunscreen for our Lake Powell trip--and they had a summer clearance sale for 75% off! However, several of the items (flipflops, towels, etc) rang up for 90% off! It's a great time to stock up for next year! Sneaky inside tip: it's NOT worth stocking up on sunscreen to hold it for 9 months--it actually expires and loses it's effectiveness sooner than you think.

Gloating from Kim: kim said...
okay so I hit CVS on my way home because of this post, and got the cutest hooded towels. A shark a frog a monkey a crab.. For 2.50.... i know they are summer timey, but they are gonna be christmas gifts for all the little kids in my family!

AAAAAH! Uggs at 80% off!

My twins live in these during winter--I've never seen prices like these! http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3278587-10536629 These cute crochet boots are usually $110.00, they're only $22.00 here! Jump on this if you're an Uggs fan, I don't think we'll see prices like this again.

Another cheap photo deal!

With any 1 hour print order at Walmart--you'll get a FREE 8x10 print! Order your prints online and choose free in-store pick up. http://photos.walmart.com/storepage/storePageId=Prints

50% off Sale at Crazy Eight Kid's Clothes!

Halloween Fiends? This is for you!

I'm sorry, but since this blog is only a couple of months old, you haven't heard yet about my filthy love of all things Fall and Halloween. Unfortunately, I can't control myself, so please bear with me. If you're like me, I'm about to become your new best friend through the next few months.
Buycostumes.com is offering a special deal every weekday right now where you find 5 costumes for under $5!! They will offer 5 new costumes each weekday, Monday thru Friday, starting at 9am CDT (7am PST/10am EST). Sneaky inside tip: they offer only 5 costumes for less than $5 AND there's a limited amount available daily. Make sure you check each morning to see what they have available that day! Go HERE to see the $5 costumes!

Apparently, once the Five Dollar beauties are gone, they're gone. By the way, these costumes show retail prices from $39.99 - $219.99, so you're picking up an amazing bargain if you catch them on the five dollar page!
Thanks to my favorite Halloween Internet Fiend: Marcus!

Free movie night, baby!

Redbox is offering a code for a FREE movie today on Labor Day! Here's the code: T46T3Q7. Make sure to select "Enter promo code" on the first screen before you checkout.
