.This Sunday's coupon inserts are looking sweet! There will be a Smartsource, (2) Redplum and a P&G. Check out Taylor Town Preview for a list of what coupons that you can expect. Please note that these may vary by region.

*The most asked questions that I get are about local newspaper inserts so here are a few answers:

How many papers should buy?

I personally buy 4-6 every Sunday depending on the amount/quality of coupons. This allows me to stock up on items that I find FREE or at rock bottom. If you can't afford to buy more than one newspaper, ask your friends/family/neighbors if you can have theirs.

Does The Advocate or Times Picayune have the best coupons?

There's no easy answer here. The Times Picayune generally has more coupons and it sometimes has the Redplum inserts that The Advocate does not contain (the RedPlum insert comes in the mail with the weekly store ads in the Baton Rouge area).

However, The Advocate does have the sought after P&G insert where as The Time…

As some of you know, this past weekend I attended a Blogger meetup called "Bloggers on Bourbon". This event was the "brain child" of Trisha Haas, of Momdot.com and Leah Segedie, of Bookieboo.com and Mamavation.com. Before I went, I honestly had no idea what to expect, since I had never been to any other Blogger events.

I packed my bags for the Big Easy, excited about the idea of meeting other bloggers around the country....

From the minute I walked into the door, I knew this was going to be a weekend to remember. Shortly after signing in, we headed off to dinner at Besh Steak in Harrah's Casino.

Did I mention that Harrah's Casino actually treated us to this FANTASTIC dinner, complete with Natchitoches meat pies and BBQ Shrimp, and as an added bonus they gave us all $10 free play cash! (No I didn't win)

Then it was off to our Haunted Ghost tour, sponsored by Lingerie.com. This was pretty cool since I've always wanted to go on this tour but just never …
