Fairfield City To offer Prescription Card?!?!

Okay so as I was looking through the local newspapers website, Journal News, I found this story.

The city of Fairfield is going to offer a FREE discount prescription card to its residents and any city employees. You cannot combine it with your insurance but it can be used for items that are not covered by your insurance if you have it.

If you do not have insurance it can save you up to 20% off your prescription.

It will also cover some pet prescriptions.

There is over 60,000 locations that take the card and 11 in Fairfield.

You can pick up your card from the City building on Pleasant Ave starting February 1. Call (513) 867-5350 for any questions. Check out the whole story here.

I am really impressed that the city is going to offer this. I am not sure how much it can save us, but if anyone has any additional information, please share. I guess we will have to see just how much this card can save us.

Ways To Earn- P & G Market Reserach- Cincinnati Area

So I thought with all the market research studies and surveys I have been doing, I would share with all of you where to start making money yourself. Each week I will post about a certain company to help you make a little extra cash.

P & G Studies
This is a local company that is just wonderful!! I have done studies for them for about 2 years. I have done everything from diapers, wipes, maxi pads to fabric softener.

For your time your will be paid with gift cards from either, Kroger, Meijer or La Rosa's Pizza. Plus you will get FREE products. It has been a little slow right now due to the holiday season.

What you need to do is call 513-626-2852 and you will leave your name and address on their voice mail. They will then send you a packet of information and paper work to fill out. Make sure that you fill out a form for each person in your home. They have studies for every person in your family, some more than others.

It will take a few weeks but then you will notice emails from them letting you know of studies that you may qualify for. Fill out the email and then they will usually call you to set up a time to come to their facility. It is that simple.

They ladies that work there are always so great and they do offer babysitting for certain studies if you need to take little ones with you.

FREE Desk Top Calendar!!

So did you check you email from Walgreens today? Well if not, don't worry I will share mine.

Starting today until January 23 get a FREE Desk Calendar by using promo code FREE4U at checkout.

There is a shipping cost of $5.99, but still a pretty good deal!!!

So go to Walgreens and start making your calendar now!!!

My 2010 Goals

So I thought that if I posted them, I would feel that I would have to complete all of my goals for this year. So some of these are for my blog, my family and for just myself!!



Blog

*Make it grow- Getting the word out is my main task to make my blog grow. I have added it to Facebook and have business cards coming. I really enjoy finding deals and looking for the best prices and sharing them with my friends and family.

*Get More Followers- I would like to see more of my friends and family using coupons and getting the great deals. Everyone I talk to always says, I wish I could do that. Well do it. It is a little confusing at first but then it really all makes sense and you will see a huge difference in your spending.

Family

*More Family Fun Time- We bought a YMCA pass to give us more to do. If you sign up before Jan 31 you do not have to pay the enrollment fee of $125, plus they offer refer a friend. If you refer a friend and they sign up for a pass, you get a month free. Our girls love to swim so it is nice that now we can swim year round. We have even talked about getting a King's Island pass but with the little one still not 2 yet, it makes it hard to have her still not be able to do too much there.

*Lower our Grocery Bill- For last year on average we spent $80 a week. I would like to get that to $60 but we still have diapers to buy, so that may be hard for alittle while.

*Donate More- I really would like to get into a routine to donate to the Fairfield Food Pantry at least once a month. Right now it is every few months and I feel with all the stuff I get FREE or really cheap we could do more.

*Stockpile More- We have a really good stockpile going but I really want to make it expand.

Myself

*Relax and Slow Down- With everyone in the family always having activities and things to do, I feel that we are always on the run. Dance, Cheerleading, Basketball, Soccer, PTC meetings, work, dr. appointments and so on and so on. There is very few moments to really just sit and relax. Even when we are not busy, I feel that I still need to go in fast mode to get the daily things done. So I want to slow down and just relax. Maybe read a book instead of doing that last load of laundry, or play more boards games with the kids instead of dusting the baseboards, it will all still be there tomorrow.
