Just have to vent a bit… I contacted a company yesterday to inquire a product review/ giveaway. Not an expensive item, most of their items are under $40. They emailed me back, well not really, the PR company was sending out an email to another person, saying they do not think they need a blog post done by a Coupon Princess…
So, was I offended, yes… Just because I use coupons does not mean I am cheap and do not like name brand items. Believe me, I do like name brand clothing, shoes, jewelery, purses and more! (Did you all see my Coach Bag post awhile back, where I directed you all to a 20% off coupon!) Anyways, will not go into detail with all the name dropping etc.. I am not a braggy kind of girl. (Which my favorite winter shoes are UGG’s by the way) and thinking about purchasing a North Face Jacket! (My boys got theirs for their Birthdays, and high quality warm jackets are a must around here in the winter)
So, girls and guys… PR people, companies and brands, don’t by pass us frugal money saving sites for your giveaways, because we save money on the small stuff, so we can have the nice luxuries of life. Since we save money with our coupons and so do our readers!
Thanks for letting me vent… I feel much better now!

I like to think of myself frugal, but not cheap. Which means I do like good quality items, I just look for way to get items at a great deal! I believe couponing is for anyone and everyone, it is an easy way to save money on things you already use on a regular basis. In 2009, I was picked by Savings.com to be a deal pro. It was such an honor, and I met some great frugal bloggers. I was chosen again for the second year in a row for Savings.com Deal Pro for 2010! During this past year I attend the Disney Moms Social Media event 2010. So far 2010 has been a great year. {
