My Coke Rewards Program
Many people drink coke products, few people take advantage of My Coke Rewards. If you are not taking advantage, go to http://www.mycokerewards.com/ and sign up. Every time you buy a 12 or 24 pack (or various other single serve items)- log on and enter your code (code is on the end of the box or under the cap). Points add up quickly and you can spend them on entering sweepstakes or obtaining merchandise. I get many magazines subscriptions for free using my reward points, and recently was offered 50 FREE 4 x 6 photos from Snapfish through My Coke Rewards and wasn't even required to use my points to obtain them. If you drink Coke products, you need to check it out.

Please Use Around The Town Links When Purchasing through Daily Deal Sites
Many of you have mentioned to me that with inundated email inboxes, you appreciate how I aggregate the best of the daily deals for the day so that you don't have to go through your inbox every day scanning each offer. What you might not know is that I am an affiliate with many of these companies, so if you purchase through Around The Town's links, I may get a small percentage of the sale as a thank you from the company. So my request to you is that you use my links when you order your daily deals from companies such as Groupon, Living Social (and others), and print your free coupons from coupons.com, etc. When I share a deal with you, I always post a link as well so it's right there for you- no searching for it. When you use my links it helps me do giveaways and prizes for my subscribers, which I love to do! Thanks so much everyone for taking a moment to read this and for using my provided links when you place your orders. Barb

Organizing Your Daily Deal Certificates
Do you love to find a great offer on the daily deal sites like I do? I have quite a stack of vouchers going and I want to give you a few pointers on keeping yours organized and share what's worked for me.
1. DO take advantage of the fabulous deals offered on the daily deal sites because you can save a lot of money and be introduced to some fantastic local businesses.
2. Always print your voucher as soon as you order them. If you order on your iPad or phone, make a note for yourself to get it done that day so you don't forget.
3. Organize your vouchers by expiration date, ones that expire first placed on top.
4. Make a list organized by expiration month to pin somewhere prominent that lists your deals you have available and the date they must be used by, and always be checking.
5. This is just me, but how I do it. I keep a stack of vouchers in the car for places that I will definitely use while out and about and I want to make sure they are on hand. I keep vouchers that require a little more planning inside the house. Review both stacks often and make your plans around them.
