Esa and Benny
I am honored that Stephanie invited me as a guest blogger while she & her family are on vacation!
Stephanie and I are neighbors (there are about 3 blocks between us), and we met because of our pups. Now, our husbands are constantly together on the weekends watching sports. I work full-time as the Assistant General Manager at Westfield Concession Management at Dulles Airport where I oversee the retail program and all of the concessions marketing. I have been blogging since 2005, with Yahoo!360, MySpace and now at The Adventures of Esa and Zed. I mostly blog about our life, our pups, and how I save money.
- I consider myself a “moderate” couponer. I make a game out of how much I can save during a grocery shopping trip. Where I start – using Coupon Mom to match up coupons with sales items.
- My favorite “coupon community” is Hot Coupon World. It lists all the different stores and sales, coupons, freebies…everything!
- My favorite income/rewards site is My Points. I’ve been a member since 1997 and have earned many giftcards on there.
- I’m addicted to Diet Coke, so when Coke came out with My Coke Rewards, I was pysched! I’ve gotten Best Buy gift cards, DVDs, and coupons for free Coke.
- One of my splurges is on my hobby of scrapbooking – paper & digital. I love Creative Memories tools and their digital software. Each Friday, they post free digital downloads.
- Another one of my hobbies is genealogy. I have a subscription to Ancestry.com, but even if you don’t have a paid subscription, you can still create an account and research your family tree. Several times a year, they have free weekends where you can see all the records. I researched as much as possible before purchased a subscription and I was able to discover a lot this way.
