BzzAgent Campaign - Bic Soleil Savvy


I am a member of Bzz Agent and if you are not familiar with them, you need to check them out! It is a great way to get selected for campaigns, and get to give your feedback on products.  I recently did a campaign for BIC® Soleil® Savvy razors.  They sent me a razor to try and some coupons to share with my friends.  I am not a fan of this razor.  For me, it felt more like the razor was ripping my hair out instead of a smooth glide like other razors I've used.  I used it regularly for the duration of the compaign and my opinion stayed the same.  One positive is that they are a more affordable razor - and with the coupons, you got an even better deal on them!  Have you tried these razors?  What did you think of them?

Here's a brief blurb about Bzz Agent - I get to try products and services at no cost with samples, coupons and stuff like that. Then I make my voice heard by sharing my honest opinions with others, including some of the largest companies in the world. Want to learn more and sign up to join in the fun?

Savings Information - and more Bloggers!

A lot has happened since my last post over a year ago.  I now have 2 boys!  I've been very busy - working full time, and being a mom.  I've been struggling to get into a good groove with my day-to-day activities.  I'm still not there, but I'm getting closer to making it all work!  Here are a few more of my favorite bloggers to follow:

Freebies 2 Deals

Freebies 4 Mom

She Saved

My first savings tip is:  Don't try to rush out to get every deal someone posts about!! If it's something you use regularly, then sure - go get it if it makes sense to do so.  But don't feel like you HAVE to go get every deal someone blogs about.  I am not one of those people.  I do my shopping either Friday or Saturday, and that's it! We usually just go to Target and Meijer.  I don't go to lots of different stores.  Sure, I could get better savings if I went to 5+ stores to get each deal, but that's not how I shop.  Each person is different, so this is not saying one way is better than another.  What is your typical shopping week like?

Maybe next week I'll start sharing some photos - my stockpile and how I feel about stockpiling, my shopping trips and savings, etc.
