… to ALWAYS check the Internet for coupon codes before you hit the final “Submit My Order” button!!
I had to order a computer part for one of my computers yesterday, at the Hewlett-Packard website. I went through the whole shebang, entered all my information and was THIS CLOSE to finalizing my order when it hit me: maybe I should check for coupon codes.

I really didn’t think I’d find anything– this is HP, that great big computer manufacturer, too big and too important for coupon codes…
But I found one! And I saved $7 off my order!!!!!!!!

So listen to the Freaky Frugalite now: ALWAYS check for coupon codes! I have a bookmarked stash of websites that I always check (I post them here from time to time), but a quick search for something like “HP coupon codes” will bring up a billion sites. Why pay more than you have to??


I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
