RE: Day Care

joeleitz — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:47:42 GMT

Thanks for all of the awesome advice! This site really is a wealth of information and great savings tips!

When my sister had a child she decided that she would save on daycare costs by starting her own daycare. She was going to be a stay-at-home mom anyway so she decided to look after other peoples' children and earn additional income for the family. So far it has worked out great for her and she has been doing it about 4 years now. The biggest thing was finding out about licensing, getting her house in order and getting the appropriate daycare furniture. Plus she had to consider the various home safety options to have everything run seamlessly. Anyway, my point is that if you have the time and resources you can not only save on daycare costs but also create a viable business for yourself (if you're so inclined).

My husband needs a new pair of glasses and I was wondering if anyone could give some good advice on the best/cheapest place to go. He needs an exam and new frames/lenses.

A couple of deals using coupons from this past Sunday's P&G coupon insert:

Gillette Body Wash is on sale for $3.33 . . . using the $2 off coupon makes it $1.33.

Crest Pro-Health mouthwash is on sale for $4.49 . . . using $2 off coupon makes it $2.49.

The hefty bags are $1 a box= 13 ct gallon size and 18 ct quart size- they have a 15 cent cpn on them making them .85 cent apiece- not bad in my opinion

Anybody have a coupon for a make-your-own pottery place that you don't need? I would be glad to send you some coupons in exchange.

Thanks for the heads up! Fyi, I once had a HT cashier tell me that she was not allowed to post on SD after starting to work there - you might not want to post your insider tips under your real name We don't want to see anyone get in trouble.

You might want to put this over in the LF forum - that is, unless HT is doing Fresh Rewards now?
