Harris Teetet Triple coupons days

Triple coupon weekend is this coming weekend, January 1 - 4, 2009. Remember to stick to sale items to really make a good saving. Some items, even with triple coupon discount are still cheaper at Walmart and Target. Items that will be free this weekend after your triple coupon are Hungry Jack mashed potatoes and Kotex pantyliners. The Gum and Oral B toothbrushes will cost just pennies after the triple coupon.

Happy New Year and Happy saving!

Free and cheap ways to watch TV

Free: Hulu.com, the streaming-video love child of NBC Universal and News Corp., is one of the best places on the Web to find free video content. While Fox and NBC have contributed the bulk of the media, some Comedy Central programming and movies from the likes of MGM, Warner Bros. and Universal are also available. New television episodes usually appear the day after they air, but the licensing contracts vary by show. All the content is free, but you will have to suffer through advertising spots.

Free: Joost Cost - Originally set up as a peer-to-peer video distribution network, Joost ran into a bunch of problems since its January 2007 launch — it had little appealing content and forced viewers to use an unwieldy media player. That changed in September 2008, when it relaunched as a browser-based streaming service. Most full episodes come from Viacom and CBS, both investors in Joost. Joost also just released an application for the iPhone that lets you stream its video content when connected to wi-fi hot spots.
