Didn't blog yesterday as I thought that I only had 7 "have to support Kitty during her mid-life whatever" followers...until I actually saw this morning that I had 142 people view my blog last week...so...

I AM BACK!!! (Thanks!)

Okay, you know about www.groupon.com (9/29/10) and Kathryn told us about www.LivingSocial.com.  But did you know about www.BuyWithMe.com, www.redeemio.com and www.plumdistrict.com. Check them out for huge savings and treat yourself to something you wouldn't normally be "shopping for" like a massage, wine tasting, and great shoes at Zelaya Shoes in Bethesda etc.


Websites like these are popping up all the time, so sign up and receive your daily deals. It's FREE and it's FUN and can save you lots of money!


I'll keep you posted ~Kitty

Betsy wanted me to share Restaurant.com with everyone...might this become Kitty & Betsy's Blog? (Hope so...Love the help!)


Restaurant.com is an awesome FREE site that lets you purchase gift certificates to restaurants at a HUGE discount. You can search restaurants by name, location, or even by zip code. Once you choose your restaurant, you can view the menu and even get reservations if needed.


I have used the certificates many times, especially when I have been out of town. It is a great way to save money and try new places even though there are many restaurants listed that we normally go to anyway. Restaurant.com is always adding new restaurants too as well as sending awesome weekly promotions!


Yesterday's promotion was offering $25 certificates for only $1 using a special promo code. How can you not try it?


Let us all know what you think by posting a comment to this blog!


Have a great weekend! ~Kitty (and Betsy)

Trying to lose weight, keep track of your carbs, or are just really curious how many calories were in last night's plate of Fettuccine Alfredo? 

My brother George told me about the perfect website that will track all of this for you! 

MyFitnessPal.com is a FREE online site that contains nutrition facts for over 450,000 foods.

It can count daily calories, carbs, and proteins, track exercise and weight, and it even provides recipes! 

It is a great source, especially if you like to keep a food and exercise journal.

Let me start by saying that I love deals, coupons, helpful hints, remedies, fun facts, positive thoughts, and new and easier ways to do things! Therefore, I have decided to create a Blog called "Just For Fun" that allows me to post and share things, on a daily basis.  I love the internet, Facebook, magazines, you name it! I am basically an advertiser's dream, especially in the diet world...if it's out there, I have probably tried it or at least researched it!


I hope you will follow me and can use some of the many tips and/or thoughts I will post. I also look forward to all of your comments!


Okay...First post: Do you know about Groupon?


Groupon is a daily deal that is offered in many popular cities in the United States and Canada. Most of the deals last for 1-day and if a number of people accept the offer, the deal is on. Most deals are 50% off restaurants and specialized services. The best part is, if you refer a friend and they purchase a Groupon deal, you bank $10 in your Groupon account. ("Someone you referred has just bought their first Groupon! That means you earned $10 in Groupon credits, which we've already deposited into your Groupon account. It will automatically be applied towards your future Groupon purchases.Isn't sharing Groupon great? Don't you want to do it again and again?")

Thanks! ~Kitty
