Hey guys, I have another cool household freebie that I wanted to tell you guys about. This offer is for a free Charmin Mega Roll Extender. If you’ve ever purchased the Charmin Mega Roll toilet paper you’ve probably noticed that the toilet paper doesn’t fit properly on a normal toilet paper roll. That’s where the Charmin Mega Roll Extender comes in. This handy little contraption can be attached to your regular toilet paper holder so that the mega roll can fit. The cool thing about this freebie is that Charmin allows you to receive one or two of these extenders for free. That’s great for people with more then one bathroom in their home. All you have to do to get this freebie is follow the link below and fill out a short form.

I recently received my Charmin Mega Roll Extender in the mail and it’s really cool. I couldn’t actually use it though because I don’t use the same type of toilet paper holder. If you do use the plastic holder, this is a great freebie.

I was surfing Amazon and I came across one of the cutest ideas for a gift basket. The product on Amazon is called the “90s Decade Box Gift Basket – Classic 90′s Candy” and as you can tell from the picture, it’s basically a decorated box filled with a lot of different types of candy made popular in the 90s. They also have a candy gift box for other decades as well. The idea is really great, but it’s poorly executed. The gift box itself is rather expensive (about $45 shipped) and judging by the reviews it doesn’t include many of the candies mentioned.

If you’d like to duplicate this idea in a cuter and less expensive way I would suggest purchasing a plain box (the size of a shoe box) and decorating it with fun nostalgic pictures from the decade of your choice and purchasing mixed bags of candy from a discount store. You can usually get variety bags of chocolate and other types of candy for just a few dollars. Try filling the box with candy such as M&Ms, Laffy Taffy, Smarties, Mike & Ike, Jawbreakers, Jujubes Candy, Swedish Fish, Jolly Rancher, Goobers and Tootsie Rolls, to name a few! If you want candies from a specific decade you might have to do a bit of research!

I usually have a love/hate relationship with the Internet, but one thing I love about the Internet is shopping. It’s so easy to find things online. I find so many things online that I would never be able to find in stores. And I save a lot of money as well. I can always find great deals and savings on everything from clothes to music to household products to personals. I can even save on pantry items like tea bags and weight loss shakes. I love it!

Another thing I love about the Internet is the fact that I can read so many reviews on products before I even buy them. For instance, if you’re thinking about buying supplements it’s helpful to be able to read a supplements review from people who actually purchased the product. That way you’re not wasting money. You don’t always have that opportunity when purchasing things from stores!

I was planning to do a lot of online surfing to find some cool new applications and programs to post on this website but I completely forgot. I had a very long weekend and I didn’t go to sleep until really late last night. Actually it was about 4 in the morning when I dozed off. Luckily for me I didn’t have to be up today because I was so exhausted when the clock first went off. I turned that alarm off and rolled over until 9am. Even then I still didn’t want to get up.

The only reason I did get up is I had to use the bathroom so bad. I hate when I’m so tired and I have to get up to use the bathroom because I can’t ever fall right back to sleep. Sometimes I wish I could just put on one of those adult diapers when I go to sleep so that I don’t have to wake up until morning. That’s just laziness though. I’d never wear an adult diaper for that reason. I just need to stop drinking so much tea before bed! LOL
