Find free magazines, deals at MommySavesBig.com
Eileen left us with one final tip from her discussion with Mary Hunt, founder of the Debt-Proof Living newsletter and Web site: a link to MommySavesBig.com, our Consumer Web site of the Week.
Hunt said she uses the site as a great source of printable coupons.
I was convinced by the complex online shopping deals that site users shared with each other and rated. Act fast, because supplies --- and valid coupon codes --- expire quickly.
Also, there were an impressive collection of free magazine subscription offers, including Saveur, Ebony and Woman's Day.
And they had a long list of sweepstakes and contest links, as well as free sample offers, although I'm not sure how enthusiastic I can be about these ...
just because nothing is really free.
Although you'll never be billed for these magazines or chances to win, you'll likely pay by trading your valuable personal information (name, address, possibly a phone number or shoe size) to enter.
Forget the do-not-mail list: sign up for a few more catalogs and enter a few prize drawings and you will see your junk mail quadruple, I reckon. Not a terrible price to pay, I suppose ...

Liz, I see that you are also a problem solver ("Watchdog column") so I am writing you for some help. I can't open the MommySaves.com website--it tells me that my account has been suspended and to contact the administrator; I only looked at the site and didn't have an account and I can't access anything to contact them ("Contact Us" brings me back to the message about my suspended account). I would LOVE to to start saving--could you please provide a phone number or alternate internet contact? Thank you so much for your help!
Valerie, just sent you some contact information I found using a Whois search to find the folks who put up the Web site. Hope that helps! --- lfk.
