Welcome to Coupon Katie! If you are visiting after seeing me on the Fox 43 Morning show this morning, or if you want to know what we talked about, here is the round up of my favorite “Manly” deals going on this week.

Dollar Shave Club

Dollar Shave Club is a monthly service that delivers high quality razor blades to your door monthly. If you are not going to use coupons and drug store deals it is by far the cheapest and easiest way to get high quality razors.

You just chose which blade you want, there are $1 , $6 and $9 a month options. THE HUSBAND has been getting the $6/month cartridges for almost a year now and has been very happy with them. Then you just sign up and the blades and a free compatible handle are delivered right to your door.

Free Omaha Steak “Steak Time” Grilling App

The best feature of the Steak Time app is a “Grilling Timer” which enables the user to create a personalized steak timer setting for each guest. The timer indicates when to put the steaks on the grill and exactly when to turn them to get the specific degree of doneness that each guest prefers. This allows all the steaks- from rare to well done- and come off the grill at exactly the same time. There are also several helpful grilling hints and recipes.

Subway Smokehouse BBQ Chicken Sandwich Giveaway

May 8, 2013 50 Comments

Subway has introduced a new Subway Smokehouse BBQ Chicken sub, and it is good.

The whole family loaded up over the weekend and headed to Subway. Part of the perks of being THE HUSBAND or one of my children is you get to try new things and give me your opinion. (O.K. so there may have been a few moans and groans when I told them all I didn’t need to hear their order, I was ordering for them.)

Here is the general consensus among the six of us- Yummy. The Smokehouse BBQ Chicken sandwich is part the FRESH FIT™ menu with only 6 grams of fat in a six inch and tastes good enough for even my picky children. This sandwich is somehow light and filling all at the same time, don’t ask me how. For all these reasons it has moved to the top of our Subway list.

In case you’re wondering, the Subway FRESH FIT™ menu offers a variety of sandwiches that are certified by the American Heart Association. These menu items are under 700 calories, less than 30% of calories from fat, 900 mg or less of sodium, 10% of daily value of 1 of 6 beneficial nutrients and several other criteria.

For the month of May the Smokehouse BBQ Chicken sandwich is Subway’s $6 FOOTLONG™ Special!

To allow on lucky Coupon Katie reader to take “Smart and Saucy” SUBWAY Challenge I’m giving away a $25 Subway Gift Card. ( “Smart” because it’s a SUBWAY FRESH FIT™ option and yet still saucy and delicious!)

Use the Rafflecopter form below to enter. Good Luck!

Exercise on a Budget: My Current Solution

May 1, 2013 2 Comments

Reader Question:

Do you have any ideas on how to get a good workout with out spending a lot of money. We can’t afford to join a gym and all the exercise videos I want seem expensive. Any ideas?

In my pre-four-kids life THE HUSBAND and I used to hit the gym around 7, workout for an hour or more, then come home and eat a light dinner around 9pm. Smack dab in the middle of life with four young kids that schedule looks ridiculous to me. All I want to do by 7pm is curl up in my bed.

Exercise is usually the first thing I am willing to cut out of a busy day, but it really should be the last. A quick trip to the gym does not exist in this girl’s life. So here is my latest solution: Daily Burn. Daily Burn offers a variety of workouts you can watch on your computer, iPad®, iPhone®, Android®, TV, and more.

You can chose the workout you want for the day or follow a customized calendar. You can sort workouts by intensity, difficulty or length. (I love that.) You can also chose your style: cardio, strength, yoga, kickboxing, abs, mobility, core, metabolic conditioning, stretching, etc. They have workouts for beginners and advanced workouts for those who are a little more fit than the rest of us.

I have been using this for about 6 months now.Inferno kicked my behind last month and I am loving Tactical Bodyweight Training this month. It is working muscles I didn’t even know I had. If you want a good ab workout choose one of the dance/zumba workouts and do it with someone like THE HUSBAND. I laughed so hard that day my abs were sore for a week.

Anyway, why do I love Daily Burn? It is $10 a month, which is much less than our previous gym membership. It keeps me from getting bored. I can exercise wherever and whenever I can/want to. It also offers personalized nutrition plans and recipes.

So, Daily Burn is my current suggestion.

Jogging and walking outside are always free. So grab a friend or two and start walking together. You could trade workout videos with a friend, or look at a use book and DVD store like McKay’s.

How about you? How do you work exercise into your budget- time and money budget? Share your ideas and help a fellow reader out!

Star Wars Angry Birds May the 4th Be With You Giveaway

April 29, 2013 36 Comments

Star Wars.

Angry Birds.

Two of my boys’ favorite things combined in one game. Perfect way to celebrate Star Wars Day- May the Fourth Be With You. You should have seen them jumping up and down when the Hasbro Star Wars Angry Birds At-At Attack Battle Game arrived.

ANGRY BIRDS^TM STAR WARS® AT-AT^TM ATTACK BATTLE GAME

Stack, launch, and destroy with the AT-AT ATTACK BATTLE GAME, which includes 21 blocks to create the signature AT-AT, a LIGHTSABER LAUNCHER and 12 ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS figures — including two that are exclusive to this set! Players can also unlock ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS in-app content with a special code in each pack. Ages 5 and up.

“Hold on guys I need to read the instructions.”

“Mom, come on. You just set it up like this and then launch the birds.”

Two minutes later the game was all set up with no help from me.

My boys had a great time with this game. It is easy to set up, the rules are straightforward and they are supposed to knock over things their brother just built. What more could a boy ask for?

The Aftermath:

We also go to play with a ANGRY BIRDSTM STAR WARS® FOAM FLYER.

Toss around these 3.5-inch soft foam, iconic characters for a new way to play ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS! Available in LUKE SKYWALKER, CHEWBACCA, DARTH VADER and STORMTROOPER

At our house this little guy inspired a game of “real angry birds”. Two of the boys stood on pillows or playroom chairs while a third threw the flyer at them. If they were hit they had to fall of their chair. Yep, that is my life with a house full of boys.

To help you celebrate May the Fourth Coupon Katie is giving away a ANGRY BIRDS^TM STAR WARS® AT-AT^TM ATTACK BATTLE GAME! Use the Rafflecopter form below to enter. Good Luck! And you can us the Promo Code SWFANDAY for 20% off any Star Wars toy on HasbroToyShop.com, only on May 4th.

Hasbro Bejeweled Review and Giveaway

April 16, 2013 15 Comments

So, I am what you might called addicted to Bejeweled on my phone. It is true. You know the game: match three gem, they explode and more gems fall into place. When Hasbro said they turned my favorite time waster into a board game and asked if I wanted to review it- absolutely. Now I can include my whole family in my bejeweldness. (Yes, I just invented a word)

It’s the real-world version of the addictive online Bejeweled game! Swap and match twinkly gems and earn coins by matching 3 or more gems. When you earn 3 coins of the same color, it’s a triple – and if you earn 3 triples before anyone else, you win!

Includes 84 gems, 7 power gems, 70 scoring coins, bag, game base and instructions.

Ages 8 and up.

For 2 to 4 players.

The game is easy to set up and really fun to play. It is recommended for ages 8+ but my 7 and 5 year olds loved it. They were especially into the power gems. We have played Bejeweled several times over the last few weeks and we still have all the pieces. Remarkable, I know! It is a great addition to family game nights or rainy days!

Coupon Katie is giving away one Hasbro Bejeweled to a lucky winner! Just use the rafflecopter form below to enter.
