David and I completed the 2009 North Texas Race for the Cure on Saturday, June 6. We had a great time walking in support and in celebration of our new friend Cathy’s first year surviving breast cancer, and in memory of David’s mother Arveta. Here is a photo of us during the walk. Cathy’s friend and our Breast Friends Forever teammate, Mandi, took this photo of us during the walk. Thank you to my friends and supporters who have donated to my breast cancer walks for the past two years.

I love shopping online. You can find some excellent deals. I am a sale shopper anyway when I go to the mall or department stores, but I really become a bargain hunter online. Lots of stores lower their prices online and if you are savvy, you can even find great coupon codes to go along with your savings. I guarantee you that I do not pay full price for anything online, and most of the time I get my order shipped for free too. This is super important if you are buying fundraising materials because obviously you want to get the most bang for your buck and a great return when you turn around and resell to your supporters.

Today I was looking for Toys R Us Coupon Codes and discovered Best Online Coupons and am now hooked. You can easily search for stores and restaurants via their site, making it easy to find exactly what you are looking for. A lot of coupon sites are simply bogus link farms that provide zero value and waste your time, but Best Online Coupons lives up to its name with legitimate updated coupon codes. There are thousands of online shops listed in a variety of categories.

Have you heard of Restaurant.com? I learned about them today via Best Online Coupons, and found an awesome Restaurant.com coupon code that will get me a $25 gift certificate to any local restaurant listed for only $2! I won’t tell you what it is here, because I want you to go over an experience Best Online Coupons. That deal expires on May 31, so hurry over. There are tons of other fabulous deals too!

One of my favorite websites, Save the TaTas, is having a Mega Sale! You can get 50% off all ladies t-shirts, making the majority of them around $12-$14. That even includes the “bling” t-shirts. I was lucky that this promotion fell in line with my giveaway on my personal blog. I saved some money, and I actually awarded two shirts instead of one! There are a ton of new designs too. Have you seen Viva Las TaTas? Pirate TaTas? What about Thanks for Noticing? They are all too cute and come in plus sizes too. I also got a 20% off my next order coupon! Hurry, because the Save the TaTas Mega Sale promotion ends soon!

edit: The 50% off sale ended on May 31.

Today I spent my first day as a volunteer for Susan G. Komen for the Cure North Texas. I went to the Campus at Legacy in Plano, and today’s task was to fold t-shirts for the participants that will receive packet mailings before the race. I folded with about 5 other volunteers, and completed approximately 500(+) shirts on my first afternoon. There are still thousands and thousands left to fold, and I am sure this is a task that will be a work in progress for the rest of the week. Are you interested in being a race volunteer? Sign up on their website to give your time to a good cause. I will be volunteering nearly every day until the race and would love a little company from my friends!

Oh, and I am also participating in the Race on June 6 if you would make a donation to support me and my team.
