Hi! I am Mercedes and this is my blog Common Sense with Money! Helping other people live better, spend less, and save more is something I am very passionate about. I combine simple frugal living tips and smart shopping techniques to help moms across the U.S. become better home economists. Thank you for visiting my blog.

If you don’t mind my asking, where did you go to purchase your domain name?
Hi Marcy,
These are the instructions I followed:
How do I buy a custom domain through Blogger?
Interested in purchasing and setting up a custom domain through Blogger? Either read the instructions below or click on the video to watch a tutorial!
You can buy a domain from the Settings | Publishing tab,. Just select the Custom Domain option, enter the domain name you’d like and click Check Availability. This will take you to the Google Apps domain purchase website, which will let you know if the domain is available and proceed with the registration if it is. Finally, you’ll go to Google Checkout where you’ll make your payment. Your domain is registered with one of our registration partners, either eNom or GoDaddy.
You’ll get a domain registration confirmation email from Google Apps. Clicking the link in this email allows you to sign this domain up for an Apps account. Google Checkout will also send you an email with the order receipt.
Hope that helps,
Mercedes
Congratulations Mercedes! A little off topic but where do you buy coupons? I didn’t get the free bread one this week and was thinking of buying a few.
Thank you!
Hi Anon,
When I have had to buy coupons I have bought from Glenda at Taylortown Preview. I think she’s very reasonable. I know she was charging 50 cents handling fee for the free bread coupons and I think that’s cheap for a loaf of bread. She’s very quick to ship and I have never had a problem with her.
Thank you!
