New App for Weekly Circulars

As  I said before, I am still new to the iPad.  I have been playing around with it, and I love it!  A lot of what I have been using it for is to manage the house.  Since we are a single income family and we have Z in daycare twice a week, I do what I can to pinch pennies where I can.  Yes, I use coupons.  No, not like the Extreme Couponers on TLC.  My cousin Sarah does a great job, and I am doing what I can to learn from her.  Every Sunday I usually buy three papers, comb thru the circulars and coupons, and then wait to hear from Sarah.  :)  Sometimes I can do a trip or two on my own and do a decent job, but most of the time, by midweek I have misplaced the circulars or Z has gotten them in his grasp (and proceeded to shred them). 

Then, today, I found this app.  It is called "Weekly" and it has all the circulars from your area! You can even save a shopping list by touching the item you want to add.  I used it this morning to make a trip to CVS, and it was super helpful!

Best of all??  It's FREE!!

Who doesn't love FREE ebooks??

One of my favorite things is my Kindle.  I LOVE to read...always have.  I really didn't know if I was going to like having a Kindle--I am quite partial to having a book in my hand, turning pages, and having the ability to flip back and forth as I please.  It does annoy me that I can't just easily flip back a few pages or so to find something I missed or refresh my memory, but the ease of having a Kindle--or use of the Kindle app on my iPhone, iPad, and computer--really is something that I enjoy.  Plus all of my bookshelves are packed to bursting, so not having to find a spot for those books that I can't resist is quite helpful  :)

Now, if you are like me--either using the Kindle, or the Kindle app for the iPhone, iPad, or computer--then you are going to LOVE this website.  It is called Ereader News Today, and everyday they post FREE ebooks!! My ebook library has grown leaps and bounds because of this site, and I tell everyone I know about it.  I mean, who doesn't like things for free--especially books??  And no, it's not old books that you were forced to read back in school.  They are all different types of books--fiction, nonfiction, thrillers, religion, historical, romance, cookbooks, self help, business, children's books, young adult...there is something for everyone!

Also be sure to "like" them on Facebook to find out as soon as the next free books are posted!

Happy reading!

New Toy...

So today I got a new toy...an Apple iPad 2! I am trying it out right now to see how easy it will be to post to from it versus my laptop. I'm impressed at this point--a bit harder to adjust to typing, but nothing I can't get used to! :) Hubby has an iPad first generation, and has enjoyed his (only had it a very short time before I determined that I needed one as well...), and I'm excited to see what apps he designs! Yay for technology!
