Fall Repairs

While the typical summer weekend consists of yard work, it seems that Fall brings home repairs. Those last minute weekend warrior fixes before the snow starts to fly. My wife and I just bought a new house (we had previously enjoyed the peaceful bliss of condo ownership), and now I'm trying to replace many of the tools my ex-wife absconded with. I found some Tool King coupons recently that helped ease the strain on my pocket book as I restock my garage. They have some great discounts on Bosch and Porter Cable tools.

Oh, and speaking of restocking. We're also restocking our kitchen now that we have some real cupboard space. Cooking.com is offering $2.99 shipping through the end of the end of the month. Take a look at the Cooking.com coupons here!

Ranting about advertising

Do you get fed up with the shear number of ads you see each day? So do we. So it was a refreshing change to find a blog that highlights the rediculous, the clever and the just plain lame ads from around the country and world. AdRants.com is a great site with a daily email newsletter you can sign up for.

Back to school season

It's a time of joy for parents and one of misery for children across the country. Yep, it's back to school time! And while parents everywhere are relieved to be sending their littleones back to school, we are faced with the inevitable back-to-school shopping.

We've found some great back-to-school savings from several stores. For computers and electronics, check out some great HP coupons at CouponSmarts.com. CompUSA coupons are also available. Save as much as 15% off your school supplies.

As every parent knows, backpacks are all the craze. You can find some great deals with eBags coupons (save as much as 25% store wide and $10 off backpacks).

Save on shoes with Shoes.com coupons. They're currently running a promotion featuring 10% off.

Car and Truck Accessories

I recently found a great new site dedicated to truck accessories. TruckAccessory.com is written by the quirky and irreverant Cleveland Mike. He's also pointed out a site that has some great coupons and discounts for car, truck and SUV accessories. You can find Stylin' Concepts coupons, as well as coupons from other retailers, like eBags coupons, HP Shopping coupons and many more.

For those of you who are interested in cars and trucks, I've also found a couple of other great blogs related to the industry: truckaccessory.blogspot.com and the Truck Blog.

Stylin' Concepts also has a great bunch of articles, including installation articles, how-to, buyer's guides and Q&A. You can find there articles at www.stylinconcepts.com/articles/.
