Head over to Sew Dang Cute to get the details for the contest and to vote for 5 of your favorite bloggers to be stars.  I'm one of them, but really don't feel obligated to vote for me.  I've been a "Star" for the last two seasons and think that maybe it is time for someone else to shine!

Utah Sweet Savings

"Why pay full price when you don't have to?"



Isn't that a thought that goes through your head every time you look through the grocery store ads and go shopping for clothes, food and entertainment? We all like the words "SALE," deal or discount!

I recently came across a new money saving site with Utah deals called UtahSweetSavings.com. It is a site dedicated to saving people, like you and me, money on the things we need and the things we want (but can't or won't purchase without a discount.) Their motto is "Why pay full price when you don't have to?"

There are deals listed for groceries, baby items, party supplies, home & garden, entertainment, restaurants and more. You can search for deals in 16 different categories compiled by 10 experienced deal shoppers. It even divides the grocery category up by county and stores. Yipee! I love it when others gather all the nitty gritty details for me! UtahSweetSavings.com is a money's savers heaven. It is so organized and easy to navigate!



With three kids now, I'm a one-stop type of girl. UtahSweetSavings.com is a one-stop site featuring all the best deals from the popular deal sites (Groupon, CityDeals, etc.) and blogs. Additionally, they feature amazing deals for top retailers like Amazon, Kohls, Target and more. No more surfing the web for hours to find the perfect deal!



I was also impressed with one section of this site that most deal sites don't have. It features healthy, organic and green products. I rarely see those when browsing other deal sites. You have to check out the Healthy Living category.

You can find weekly giveaways on UtahSweetSavings.com - usually for gift cards. (Who wouldn't want $50 to spend at Wal-mart?) Enter to win the free shopping sprees!

Tightwads, frugal shoppers and coupon moms will be thrilled to have UtahSweetSavings.com as their new friend!

To get in on the deals and start saving money, you can follow UtahSweetSavings.com in many different ways.

Washer Charm Bracelet

Look at how cute this bracelet is! It was made using washers (from the home improvement store). What a great idea! The Answer Is Chocolate came up with this idea.
