Green With Envy TweetUP For Cox TV Connect #CoxTV

March 19, 2012 by The Deal Fanatic · 7 Comments

What did you guys do for St. Patrick's Day? Myself, Vegas Bloggers and Emily together put on a Cox Green with Envy Tweetup. What's a tweetup you ask? Because truly I had no idea before this event what a "tweetup" truly was. This Tweet-Up was = "A group of Friends "VEGAS BLOGGERS" & new friends gathering together to tweet about a product." Well, that's exactly what we did! Cox is wild about their new Cox TV app for iPads and we had to share because you already know I'm in love with my new toy. We had a fun hour long tweet-up with a 1 hour Twitter 101 workshop before hand to make sure everyone was ready for the tweetup. The Workshop The Twitter 101 Workshop Hosted by Vegas Bloggers with Speakers: Toni Spilsbury of Organized Cook & Lisa Drake was not only fun but just when you thought you knew everything about "something", you learn some more. It's great to get together with like-minded individuals and share information. I love being apart of Vegas … [Read more...]

2012 CES Conference What to Wear & How to Pack

January 13, 2012 by The Deal Fanatic · 1 Comment

As a professional blogger I love attending conferences. Conferences not only enhance my ability to bring my readers good content but keeps me updated with what's new and fresh in the industry. Living in Las Vegas gives me the luxury of having one of the best consumer conferences in the country...CES. The Consumer Electronic Show! I've attended years past but this year; this year was the first time I noticed bloggers seemed to be a buzz everywhere. In the speaker panel, in the gadget spotlight and even in the check in process. We were front and center. Checking out New Cool Gadgets: Listening to awe inspiring speakers talk on our industry <bloggers & brands> But truly...let's admit it! What's really important? What to wear....LOL Seriously, this is the main thing. If you go to a conference and your missing one little element to get you through the day, it could spoil your whole expierence. So, I want to share with you what this frugalista … [Read more...]

December 6, 2011 by The Deal Fanatic · 2 Comments

I didn't post last week...it was a bit crazy. I attended a Fresh & Easy Blogger Event at Toni Spilsbury's Home {which was Amazing} . We indulged in lot's of great holiday items you should NOT miss. One of which is my absolute favorite at $2 per bottle, F&E Sparkling Pumpkin. It's a mild pumpkin flavor with a hint of ginger...yum!: We enjoyed what was suppose to be a two hour event but turned into a 6 hour chat fest of fabulous Las Vegas Bloggers. It was amazing to chat with local bloggers that "get it". Iv'e attended several Fresh & Easy events over the past few years but this one was not only special because it was one that Fresh & Easy asked me to put together {which by the way I only shouted at the rooftop}, but one that was the most personal. A Fresh & Easy representative even attended the event! Giving a shout out to Nicole!!!! So nice to meet you. Let's dig into this weeks deals.

Albertsons Blogger Event and Cool Store Features

November 3, 2011 by The Deal Fanatic · Leave a Comment

I was recently invited to a Blogger event at Albertsons and let me tell you....Albertsons is a hidden gem! Doesn't this cake look delish? Did you know that Albertsons offers smash cakes for FREE to use on your babies 1 year birthday? This is HUGE info right??? Did you know that Albertsons has a HUGE bakery section and can customize beyond the book pictures for your next event? I'm sure we all look through those "cake books" and think, so wish we could do some cute cake balls or just something unique. Well, if you can think it, Albertsons can find a way to make it or at least try. Did you know that Albertsons offers Cake & Floral packages for your cake and floral needs? For me this is HUGE. Keeping everything in house and no need to make more than one trip is key. There were so many "Did you know moments" I couldn't believe all that I didn't know. For example, Did you know that your local Albertsons will allow you to utilize their store meeting rooms … [Read more...]

September 19, 2011 by The Deal Fanatic · 4 Comments

If your a faithful reader of my blog....Thank You!! I know there are a few of you guys :-) You probably noticed a lack there of posts from me this summer. Well....I took an impromptu vacation from deal blogging on a daily basis. Deal Bloggers do a ton of blogging. Making 1-20+ posts per day. I've done it! And now...everyone else is doing it too. If your looking for that type of blogger, I'm not your gal. At least not everyday. I've been blogging at The Deal Fanatic.com for over 3 years now and it's been a great place to share my finds. You know where this is going right?? Thanks to Extreme Couponing {and I will always support my couponers} You can find more deal bloggers than you can about any other topic! There's a reason too ;-). I will always live a frugal lifestyle and continue to blog about it, but there's really only so many Walgreens posts about how to get free toothpaste you can read. I have favorite deal blogs too and I'm super faithful! … [Read more...]

Join me on Facebook…Why?

April 26, 2011 by The Deal Fanatic · Leave a Comment

I'll tell ya...... This post is a long time coming. About 2 years ago I was a complete twitter fan. I told everyone I know to join so we can chat. I chatted...I missed a few days & weeks and then I noticed I started to have more conversations over on Facebook as more and more were becoming affiliated with the power of Facebook. Since then I've noticed a shift in how I post and it's simply easier for me to have dialog and share content on Facebook. Are you one of the Dealfanatics that I chat with or click on my like button when you read something that fits you?

TLC Extreme Couponing~tonight!

April 6, 2011 by The Deal Fanatic · Leave a Comment

Update: I wanted to address an issue that I've been receive emails on regarding Extreme couponing. Let me say that being able to "extreme coupon" depending on your definition will also depend on what portion of the country you live. You can still save TONS in areas that like Las Vegas only receive Smart Source in our Sunday Newspaper and Red Plum in our Weekly circulars...it will just take more planning. This is half the fun!! However, I always stress to anyone that is just starting out, try to be considerate of others and mindful of what you need. I personally NEVER clear the shelf!! In full support of the ladies who are putting it all out there, I will be watching and supporting the TLC Extreme Couponing Group. Regardless of my personal opinion {which are in support of} couponing is simply of way of life for me. Bottom line is this, how could you not love saving a buck or two in this economy or anytime!! Going to pop my popcorn now! Go Antoinette... … [Read more...]
