Another word about Walgreen's Register Rewards...
They are great. If you do only one money saving act each week- do this:
check the Walgreens ad for the Register Rewards.

I got $18 dollars of merchandise free, plus $18 in "Register Rewards" I can use on almost anything at Walgreens.
Maybe I'll spring for those pads with wings or those "pearl" tampons. : )

The site below even does the work for you - you just have to shop.

Free Spay/Neuter Packages! (for pets, silly!)
In recognition of National Spay/Neuter Month, and with the help of
Cook County’s Spay/Neuter rebate, Tree House is offering free and
discounted spay/neuter surgeries for cats and kittens, dogs and
puppies beginning February 1st as part of our annual “Sex and the
Kitty” campaign. Each participating household can receive two free
services.

Tree House encourages the public to not only spay/neuter their pets
but to practice TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), the only effective and
humane way to manage feral cat colonies. With an estimated 700,000
stray and feral cats in Cook County, this must be a priority if we are
ever going to reduce these numbers.

Free and discounted services (two per household) include:
FREE spay/neuter surgeries for the cats of low-income guardians
FREE feral cat packages
$10 spay/neuter surgeries for other pet cats
$40 discount off all spay/neuter surgeries for dogs (50 lbs. and under only)

Tell Me More!

Call 773-227-5535 to schedule an appointment. Prices and services vary
depending on your pet’s situation and needs. Services include
spay/neuter, vaccinations, parasite treatment, pain medication,
micro-chipping, and virus-testing.

In addition to the free Spay/Neuter program, Tree House helps promotes
the importance of Spay/Neuter all year through an educational outreach
program and our Feral Friends TNR Program.

Earn Cash For Surveys With Pinecone Research

Surveys sites offer a great way to earn a little extra pocket cash, and Pinecone Research is one of the best companies around. They pay $3 per completed survey via PayPal and occasionally will mail out products for panelists to test.
I’ve always found them to be pleasant and responsive to work with, and they pay very quickly.
Pinecone is a pretty exclusive site, and it’s not often that they open up their membership registration, so I’d recommend applying now if this sounds like something you’d be interested in!

They are beginning to mark down the winter clothing.
