ADT Child Safety Kit

https://www.adt.com/wps/portal/adt/about_adt/adt_in_our_communities/childsafety

As the world leader in security, ADT takes safety very seriously and, to us, it is more than installing security systems. ADT is so committed to safety, we created this guide for the whole family, filled with loads of tips and advice to keep kids safe at home, at play, and even online. Weve included a cool fingerprint kit, a magnet, a reflective sticker for kids to wear in the dark, and games, too. Were serious about safety but we also believe it can be fun learning about safety. ADT hopes this kit will help and encourage you to sit down and talk with your kids about personal safety.

ADT is pleased to be offering a free child safety kit. Designed for children up to 14-years-old, the free kit includes a variety of safety tips for children and advice for parents.

To request your child safety kit, please fill out the webform. (One child safety kit for every child under 14 years old in each household.)

Turn off that shower!

(borrowing this post from Moni's Random Raves)

Turn off that shower! I seem to be saying this like one buzzillion times a week. My kids take the longest showers. Hello, the cast for High School Musical has already been picked and the movie made. The hot water can not possibly last that long. I don't know, maybe the California Raisin look is in these days.

Any who.... I was wondering if there was any sort of shower timer out there and to my amazement there is!!!! Now of course I could just set a cooking timer, but that would require me to add one more thing to my already too long list of things to do. I know the kids would never do it themselves.

I found The Shower Manager, a high tech device that attaches between the wall and shower head that is set for 5, 8, or 11 minutes for full flow water. Near the end of the set time of full flow a beep sounds then the water goes into a half flow mode signaling that it is time to get out. Once turned off for 5minutes the timer will reset for the next shower. Sounds nice but it is a little pricey at $114.99 and I don't know if there is a shipping fee (probably)....WHY?...Because they are all sold out....hmmmmmmmm

So the question here would be is the savings in water worth the cost of the device????
Wouldn't you know.....they have a water conservation calculator.

Saving with Coupons

My sister-in-law is a coupon user and is able to save quite a bit each month. She cuts coupons but also gets coupons on Ebay of all places. I had never even thought of it but try a search. You can get 100 coupons for about $1.oo -$1.50 and free shipping. That is amazing!!! You will not use all the coupons, but I am sure you can find more than your dollars worth to save. Maybe all the left over coupons can be donated or you can resell them on ebay. There are also Coupon Exchange clubs or you can start your own coupon club.

If you need more coupons there are sites like Coupon .com. There is also a site called TheGroceryGame.com. It is not free there is a fee per store list ($10 one store, $15 for two stores, $20 for three stores every 8 weeks). You get a weekly list (called Teri's List) of the lowest-priced products at your supermarket matched with manufacturers' coupons and weekly specials -- advertised and unadvertised.

Every little bit adds up to a years worth of savings!!
