Dad loves to have a place that he can call his own.  Whether it is in the basement, garage or shop you can create the room fit just for your style.  There are many different themes for a "Man Cave."  I found Walmart has a section at there website dedicated to dad's place. They have the hunter, motorhead, sportsfan, movie buff, fitness fanatic, video gamer themes, and more.  I searched for other sites to give dad great ideas for his man cave.  Check them out below.

The Best Free Websites

There are alot of free or freebie websites out there.  Some will take you from link to link and it seems you never get anywhere.  Listed below are some of the sites I personally have tried and received products from.

Swagbucks.com - Whenever you search on Swagbucks, you have the chance to win points that you can redeem for prizes and gift cards. You can easily earn enough points to get a $5 Amazon gift card every month if you do regular searches! I just started using this, and in 5 minutes already have 65 Swagbucks. Check them out, its fun too!

mysavings.com -  Lots of free products, coupons and more, including this one I just found.  A free movie night every month when you join the Redbox Text Club! Just text FREEBIES to 727272.

befrugal.com - I could spend alot of time on this site!  They have over 250 restaurant coupons including fast food.  They also have cash back deals when you shop your favorite store...Free money!

startsampling.com - Great offers and samples.

walmart.com - A few free samples.

 Freeflys -  Get your free samples, coupons and more.  I just received my free samples of Aveeno shampoo, prilosec, and breathe right strips.  I was skeptical at first, especially when it says you will get your samples in 3 to 4 weeks.  Mine came in about two weeks.  Yes, they are small, but there is enough samples to see if you would use them in the future and purchase them.  It was worth the few minutes to sign up for the products I wanted.

Amazon Has It All


I love Amazon.com.  This holiday season I purchased half of my Christmas gifts there.  You can find great deals on almost anything.  I even purchased my son's college books at Amazon.  Of course, most everyone knows they sell books, dvd's, cd's and lots of electronics.  But did you know they sell home products, tools for the guys, including snowblowers?  If you like to save, then visit amazon.  They have some year end deals going on now!  Also check out the Amazon Coupons.

Have you ever seen a "Light Up Lip Gloss?"  I just ordered this product from Artistry cosmetics and it is fabulous!  When you twist the applicator open, it lights up and also comes with a handy mirror on the side.  This is ingenious! The lip gloss comes in 5 different colors and gives your lips a "cool" sensation when applied.  I love this new discovery I just found.  Check it out for yourself at...

Is Coupon Clipping For You?


Personally, I see how much people can save with clipping coupons and I wish I did it more.  If you have ever watched the reality show "Extreme Couponing," you know the excitement, adrenalin, and savings it can give you.  We all wish we had the know how, time and patience to get most of our groceries for free.  But, the reality is this takes a lot of researching, TIME, and trial and error to get the big savings.  If you think this is for you, or you want to save on your favorites, here are some great websites to get you started with a realistic approach.

Great Coupon Codes And Offers

When ever I am shopping on the internet, I always go to one of the many coupon code websites.  I usually end up saving about $10.00 on average or free shipping.  Who doesn't want to save!  It doesn't matter what website you shop at, you should always check if there is a coupon or reward code to save you money.  I once was on a "smaller less known" website, but still checked around for a coupon code.  There it was on one of my favorite sites "Retailmenot." Check out there website for great deals at retailmenot.com.

Ribbon Gift Cards

Here is a new twist on the old gift card!  It is from "Gift Cards By Ribbon."  You can choose a gift card for him, her, new mom, wedding and showers, and many more. This is fantastic!  Give the card and you don't have to pick the gift.  Once your recipient gets your gift card, they can go to the website and choose there own gift from over 40 different items.  Love this idea!!!
