I tried it and Netflix.com and found Netflix to be better. It's faster delivery, more movies available w/NO wait. Blockbuster does have that online coupon but the reason I get DVD's in the mail is to avoid the whole store thing. -- Lora, 39, from FL *For a free Netflix trial, click here: http://www.mommysavers.com/deals/netflix.htm Decorating There are a number of paints mixed at home building stores such as Home Depot which were not accepted by the purchaser...so they are discounted considerably. The bonus is that the store will attempt to alter the colour to suit your needs - free of charge. It was perfect for my two children's bedrooms. -- Fiona, 40, from FL We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

I made the cake according to the directions, let it cool then put the icing on it. Then I put the gummy worms spread around the cake and the platter, crumbled up the cookies, and spread the almonds around it. To achieve a "maggot" look, I put the almonds in the freezer, thus making them turn white. I took a regular piece of cardboard and made a tombstone, and I traced my hand on some of the cardboard and cut it out and stuck it in the cake. It looked really neat, like a hand reaching out of a grave. My little girl thought it was the coolest thing and my friends and family thought it looked really neat, too. And the best part is, all the decorations can be eaten without having to worry about anyone getting sick. It didn't take long to do, and little people can help, too, crumbling the cookies and placing the worms and "maggots". -- Amanda, 23, from NB One of my favorite cheap Halloween decoration is to make ghosts and spiders with garbage bags. Ghosts are made with white garbarge bags: put a paper plate in the bottom and tie it at the "neck" to make the face. Draw eyes and mouth on the face. Hang outside for the wind to help your ghosts "fly"! Spiders are made with black garbage bags: Fill one with old crumpled up newspaper and tie closed for the body. Cut eight legs from another and spread them out from under the body. Makes a great big yard spider! These are both great outdoor decorations because they are really cute but cheap enough that it's not a big deal if they get messed up or stolen. -- Melany, 43, from NV ----------------------------- What's Cookin': Poor Man's Dinner 4 cups water 2 cups rice 1 tsp salt 1 Tsp butter 1 1/2 lbs ground beef 1/2 cup soy sauce Bring water, salt and butter to boil and add rice, lower heat to low and cover with lid, don't peek! Cook for 20 minutes and flake with fork. While rice is simmering, brown 1 1/2 lbs ground beef and drain grease. Add 1/2 cup soy sauce and toss meat with sauce well. Microwave 1-2 cans French cut green beans until very warm approx 5 mins. On a plate layer each individual serving as follows: Rice as the base layer, cover with ground beef mixture and then a layer of drained beans. put Soy sauce on the table for those who want more. I love to serve this with bread and butter. My kids love this and it is easy for me to make as well as squeeze into my budget.:)-- Michelle Guagliardo, Punta Gorda Florida For more recipes from our readers, click here: http://www.mommysavers.com/Recipes/recipes_from_readers.htm ----------------------------- Real Moms: Best Bargain Ever I bought 3 bathing suits that orginally sold from $69.00 to $80.00 at JCPenney. They were on sale for $1.77 each, and I had coupon they had mailed me so I paid .51 for all of them! -- Tracy, 35, from NC Recently I found a closeout place and bought two leather jackets (one was knee length) for my daughter. Both were slightly damaged. For example, one was scuffed. Like a leather jacket isn't gonna get scuffed. Anyway, I paid $10 a piece!! New ones, with the tags still on..One was regular priced at $119! -- Laura, 29, from OK I once bought an almost new La-Z-Boy recliner in a thift shop for $8 dollars because the back of it was off of its runners. When i got it home, i simply took the back off and inserted it properly---good as new. My hubby loves it. -- Monica, 26, from WA These great hints came from our Real Mom Profiles. Keep 'em coming!

Blessing boxes can be home made by decorating a photo safe box with photos, or in my case, I purchased a box with 4 places for photos on the outside of the box that was also meant to hold photos, tossed the inner photo holders, and put my blessings in it. I also gave one to a friend for her son's baptism with the following note: Blessing Box Keep paper and pen handy. Throughout the year, write down blessings or things that you are thankful for and place them in your blessing box. Blessings can be as simple as your child??™s smile, each other, or a friend. They are also special moments with family or friends, a job, enough food, or your health. Think of the best things in your life. Write each one down on a slip of paper, date it, thank God for it, and place it in your box. If you??™re feeling down, open the Blessing Box and read through your many blessings. Watch your mood and life improve, and thank God for your many blessings. A neat tradition to start would be to open the Blessing Box on Thanksgiving Day and read the many reasons your family has to be thankful for the previous year. Then you??™ll be counting your many blessings, one by one. You can either tuck those blessings away in an envelope to look back on, or put them in a scrapbook ??“ either as their individual papers or type them up as a list. Also, if you want to change out the pictures in your Blessing Box every year, put the old pictures with the blessings for that year. Enjoy your many blessings, my friends! -- Laura, 34, from GA ------------------------------ Please Visit Our Sponsors: SMART MOMS & DADS WORK FROM HOME! Earn $500-$5000+ a month. Free Training.
