5 cool things to do online

The Web is full of useful tools. These programs can help you do almost anything you can imagine. But some defy categorization. I’ve picked some cool tools that do cool things you may not have thought of. They’ll make your life easier and your work better.

Paper Rater—You want your writing to look its best. It could be a college research paper or a business report. It always helps to have someone else look it over. But you don't always have someone to be your proofer. That's where Paper Rater comes in. It will check your grammar and style. It also tests for signs of plagiarism.

Autodesk Homestyler—Redecorating or remodeling your home is a lot of work. It helps if you start with a good plan. But it can be hard to visualize everything in different places. This tool lets you build a 3-D model of your home. You can then fill it with furniture and decorations. You can move walls around. When you’re done, fly through the model to see how you like it.

Bing Translator—We often think of English as the common language online. Most of the sites you visit seem to confirm this. But the Web is a global destination. You'll find content in every language imaginable. If you run into a foreign-language site, grab the URL and head here. Bing can translate between dozens of languages.

Free OCR—We live in a digital world. But we still have to deal with paper documents occasionally. You can use a scanner to get them onto your computer. But you don’t always have one nearby. This site is a nice workaround if you're in a jam. Take a photo of the document and upload it to the site. It will extract the text. You can paste it into a new file for editing.

Bender Converter—The Web has revolutionized the way we make and consume video. More video is stored on YouTube than ever existed before the site. And you can watch it all online. But maybe you'd like to download your favorites. You could watch them online or carry them on an iPod. This site will convert YouTube videos to the proper format. You can then download them to your computer.

Cost: Free
System: Windows XP, Vista and 7, Mac OS X

Sears and Kmart - Shop Your Way Rewards

I just got an email ... and it looks like Sears and Kmart are about to start offering "Register Rewards" like Walgreens of "Extra Care Bucks" like CVS.

HERE'S THE SCOOP:

The latest major retailer to start their own non-credit card-based rewards program is Sears/Kmart, who launched Shop Your Way Rewards yesterday. It's free to join, and you can sign up online at ShopYourWayRewards.com.

Here are the benefits:
- Returns without a receipt on purchases at Kmart and Sears.
- 1% of your purchases at Kmart, Sears, and mygofer.com will be refunded in the form of store credit to your loyalty card ("available within weeks of earning" -- not very clear).
- Chance to get a Kmart K'Ching Surprise (random gifts awarded on your register receipt after swiping your card in-store at Kmart while making a purchase).
- Special offers tailored to you based on your purchases and your answers to the More About Me questionnaire on the site. (Site's author was offered triple rewards on footwear at Sears and Kmart, 5% back on furniture and outerwear at Kmart, and some other various double rewards offers.)
- Combinable with Craftsman Club and KidVantage benefits, and with coupons and other special offers.

You can find more info HERE

HOT Stamp Out Hunger NOW

Did you donate to your mailman today?! Poor guy, between all the freebies I load him up with, now he has to tote a million pounds of cans and such.

TODAY (5/8) is the "Stamp Out Hunger" food drive! Great time to sort through some of the stockpile! So gather up all of your extra non-perishable food products, put in a bag, and place by your mailbox.

The mailman picks it up and delivers it to local food banks/pantries.

Check out the details here!

Kim Komando - Daily Download

One million free e-books, and then some

We’ve been hearing a lot about e-books lately. That’s thanks largely to the Amazon Kindle and Apple's iPad.
These make it easy to read books on the go. You don’t need to lug around a stack of books. Your Kindle or iPad will hold hundreds of books. And they’re not much bigger than a paperback.

Of course, you don’t need to buy a reader to get e-books. You can read them on your computer. You may even be able to read them on your phone.

Now for the really cool part about e-books: You’ll find plenty of free ones online. For example, there are millions of free public domain titles at Google Books.

Public domain titles are no longer under copyright. So, you’ll mostly find classic works. You can download them in PDF or EPUB format. Just click the Download link when you’re viewing a book.

Google Books isn’t just limited to free titles. You’ll also find previews of copyrighted works. These can’t be downloaded.

Hint: Finding the free titles can be hit or miss. That is, unless you use the advanced search tools. You’ll be able to limit searches to free titles.

Cost: Free

DISCLAIMER: I do not know Kim or her team any other way than having aired her syndicate on WDBO in Orlando. I LOVE her and I think she is brilliant! Listen to her, take her advice and sign up for some of her different newsletters at Komando.com. She also hosts amazing giveaways year-round!

Soft Scrub Captian

So a few months ago I signed up to be a Soft Scrub Captain.

They sent me FREE Soft Scrub and asked me to try it out! I did.

I didnt even have to scrub the tile and grout in the tub, the plastic tub part though didnt clean up as well as I had hoped. If I didn't scrub THAT, then it streaked. So my finding is that it is AWESOME on hard surfaces, tile, sinks, toilet (omg wonderful!) but not so much on the tub. In comparison to other cleaners, it takes the cake!

Have you tried it? Comment and let me know what you thought!

Huggies - Little Swimmers - stackable coupons

$1.50/1 Printable Coupon
$1.50/1 Target Coupon

Walgreens - Free 8x10 through Saturday!

Just go HERE and enter coupon code “GOODTHOUGHTS” at checkout to receive a FREE 8×10 photo from Walgreens. Good through Saturday May 8th. Pickup in the store to avoid shipping charges.

*Thats the one we are getting. And for some reason the code is not working for me, but when I call they accept it. So you may have to call to get it to go through.

Thanks wild for wags

RedPlum - Printables

ughh I finally have a referral link for RedPlum... do a girl a favor and click on it for me. Do yourself a favor and click through to get some coupons you might have missed.

Smokey Bones - buy $25 gc, get $5 off meal, plus get $10 coupon

Buy a $25 gift card at Smokey Bones and get a bonus $10 coupon free plus if you are dining in at the time of gift card purchase, you get $5 off your meal instantly.

Rumor has it that the $10 coupon might be a gift card. Back in November/December it was just an extra coupon and NOT a gift card. The difference is that a coupon expires, a gift card does NOT expire. (around Christmas you had about a 2 month span before it expired.)

ALLURE - Friday Freebie - NOON

Allure is again offering some great daily freebies through Friday, May 7th!

You must go HERE at exactly 12 Noon (EST) each day to be one of the first 500 to enter to get the freebies. I would get there a bit early personally.

Make sure to select “NO” next to the magazine offer!

Friday, May 7th | Avon Perfect Wear ExtraLasting Lip Gloss in Eternal Rose.
This pretty, flattering pink has a little shimmer—and much more staying power than many longwearing glosses.

HOT Facebook - Nabisco B1G1 coupon

Go to Facebook to like Nabisco’s Fan Page and print your BOGO 100 Calorie Packs. Hit the back button and do it again! Coupons are limited to 50,000 so hurry!

Food Lion Internet Printables - "FLIPs"

Most Publix will take these as a competitor, ESPECIALLY if there is one nearby, otherwise... YMMV (Your manager may vary)

Food Lion Coupons 4/28 – 5/11
$1 off 3 bags of Rice A Roni
$1 off 2 Bags of Food Lion Brand Trail Mix

Savor energy savings in the kitchen

10 penny-pinching tips from Progress Energy Florida to save money and electricity in the kitchen

Cooking up energy savings in the kitchen can be quicker and easier than clipping coupons. Energy-savvy cooks can whip up economical meals while reducing energy use and lowering their monthly electric bill with these simple tips from Progress Energy Florida:

1. Pick the right pot. Match your pot size to the burner because heat is lost when small pots are used on large burners. Over 40 percent of the burner’s heat is wasted when a six-inch pot is used on an eight-inch burner. Using the right sized pot on an electric range can save about $35 a year according to the U.S Department of Energy. If you have copper-bottomed pots and pans, use them as they heat more efficiently.

2. Keep stove reflector pans clean to reflect more heat upward.

3. Turn off the oven or burners when the food is almost ready and let existing heat finish the cooking.

4. Shorten the cooking time and save energy by using tight-fitting covers on pots and pans.

5. Keep the oven door closed. Oven temperatures drop 25–30 degrees every time the door is opened to check on food.

6. Use microwaves, crock pots and toaster ovens whenever possible and save up to 30 percent of the energy required to cook in a conventional oven. An oven costs more than 30 cents an hour to operate. A toaster oven costs just about 7 cents per hour to operate. Microwave cooking uses one-third to one-half of the energy required to cook most foods.

7. Choose the air dry setting on the dishwasher to save energy and keep your dishwasher from heating up your kitchen.

8. Set your refrigerator temperature between 35 and 38 degrees to keep foods safe and energy-savings high. The refrigerator uses the most energy of any household appliance.

9. Shop in bulk and stock up during sales to keep your freezer full. A full freezer uses less energy than an empty one. For maximum savings, consider filling your freezer with containers of water when space permits.

10. Keep your refrigerator running efficiently by regularly vacuuming the coils.
