Times are a changin'

It seems many of my favorite blogs are doing redesigns or renamings lately. The Blue Patched Couch is not being left out.

Sometime in the next week to ten days you will notice some style changes. They will be small, compared to the offerings that are out there. But I hope they will tidy up things a bit and make the site easier to navigate. I certainly welcome and look forward to your feedback -- good or bad.

Now that I am able to write more often here, some things you will notice about my blog. I will rarely encourage you to be friends on Facebook with any product line or company. Why? Because when you do this your feed gets all clogged and I hate that. Yes, you can hide them, but then you are wasting time doing that. This blog is all about saving time and money, and in the cost-benefit analysis, I just don't see how Facebook friending for company X works. Maybe I am wrong, and by all means try, but this is not something I do.

I will try to find you as many original deals as I can. I think this is the reporter in me. So expect coupons from everything from Applebees to the Zoo (if I can find them). But *I* will not tell you that if you combine a coupon from a circular from last month with a sale at CVS this week and use your Extra Care Card, you can get said item for free. Thats too much work. Very few women I know have the time to do that. BUT, like the Facebook promotions, for some these work. So when I see them posted on other blogs, I will be sure to share (and certainly give credit).

Ok, thats all for now. Off to find some deals tonight before I go to bed. The husband and I had a "date" today since he was off and our son was in daycare. It was the first such "date" we have had since our son was born! The day was not terribly exciting, but it was nice to eat food and not worry about cutting up the plate of food next to me ;)
