9/11 REMEMBERED: 10 Years Later…

(Photo By Reuters/GARY HERSHORN)

Whether it was 10 years, 10 days or 10 minutes, we will never forget. I will never forget. God bless. – Ro

It does not matter that 10 years have passed. It only matters that we remember. It doesn’t matter that we were attacked. It matters that we were & are united in cause. We love, remember, and thank those who were lost and put themselves at risk to help others. You were never forgotten. And never will be. – Justin

We Are Switching Servers… Expect Downtime!


Hey everyone!!! I just wanted to quickly let you that our site, CouponProBlog.com will likely be down or not working properly for you starting today, September 6th at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET through early tomorrow morning on September 7th. Behind the scenes, I’ve been working hard to make sure our site’s tech issues that we’ve had recently will be a thing of the past. During this time, we will be switching to our very own dedicated server (previously I was hosted on a shared server with many other random sites), which will allow Coupon Pro to have more flexibility and be able to handle all your traffic ;).

Since I won’t be able to post, all smokin’ HOT deals will be posted on Facebook and Twitter, if any are to arise. We’ll also be able to keep you posted on any site updates.

Thanks y’all,

– Ro

Extreme Couponing logo

It’s official! Whether you love it or hate it, TLC’s breakout hit Extreme Couponing is getting a premiere date — Extreme Couponing will return Sept. 28 at 10 p.m. with a sneak peak after the Sept. 12 series finale of Kate Plus 8. The season will have 12 episodes of innovative/scarily compulsive coupon-cutting obsessiveness. Subjects include a Pennsylvania mother of seven teenagers who uses her coupon-clipping skills to also feed 200 parishioners at her church and an upstate New York woman cutting like crazy to feed 280 people at her sister’s wedding.

Watch an exclusive preview of ‘Extreme Couponing’ season 2!

Let’s not forget this is ENTERTAINMENT, folks. Truthfully, it’s merely impossible to save 99% on your grocery bill every single week but it is possible to save hundreds of dollars every single month. We’d love to hear your feedback about season 2!

(thanks @ew)

Did You Receive the FREE Hartz Pet Pack?!

Whoops! Almost forgot to post this…. Remember the HARTZ: Send a FREE Pet Pack to a Friend! (no longer available) post from June 16th, 2011? Well, while I was away at BlogHer 2011, check out what arrived on my doorstep. Thanks my buddy Jon for requesting this for me! 😉

Pep was so happy and immediately starting playing with her toy. I will likely end up donating the shedding brush and training pads since my doggy wouldn’t need it. Be sure to let us know if you scored this AWESOME pet pack!

What Happens When Ro (A Guy) Attends BlogHER?

Bloggers mingling on the expo floor with P&G, Brawny, CVS and more!

So many of you wondered why there was such a lack of posts this past weekend? Well, there wasn’t many good offers out. And oh, I was attending the BlogHer 2011 Conference for bloggers, like myself, in the beautiful city of San Diego, CA. A 3 day-event merging bloggers with companies and boy was it something else. It’s called BlogHER for a reason. I was one of the very few males in attendance but I ain’t complain’ ;). I was fortunate enough to meet some powerful CEO’s, PR people and awesome bloggers who I hope to team up with to bring you, my readers, the very best content and offers possible. You guys deserve it! 🙂
