When my kiddos were little they loved Hullabaloo! It’s such a great family-friendly local band.
Just in time for warmer weather, Del Mar Highlands Town Center has Hullaballoo kids’ concerts happening Thursdays at 10AM (upstairs, near Cinepolis and family favorite Sammy’s). Bring your kids out for a FREE, fun sing-along morning jam session in the upper plaza.
Hullabaloo dates are:
Perfect for your little littles!
Q-insights is another company where I do research groups, focus groups, and online surveys to earn extra money.
They have a lot of stuff in South Orange County, and less often San Diego County. This upcoming survey takes place virtually!
Q-Insights is currently recruiting for an online interview on the topic of Trucks.
They are looking for males and females ages 21-60 that currently own a 2015 or newer full-size pickup truck such as one of these:
This is a 90-minute online focus group and online homework that will pay you $175 or $250 depending on which session you qualify for.
If you have one of these vehicles and are interested in participating, please complete the pre-screener survey here.
Here is your monthly reminder! A new month means new printable and electronic coupons!
The printable coupon market is slowly coming to an end. Smartsource no longer offers printable coupons, and you may notice that there are fewer coupon inserts in your Sunday newspaper. This is in favor of more offers available on apps. But if you love printable coupons….
One of my favorite websites is the Sunday Coupon Review. It helps me plot out scenarios in advance and I can email friends to ask for coupons in advance. Remember if clipping coupons isn’t your thing, but saving money is, check out my list of Smartphone apps that can save you the big bucks! New offers are added on the Smartphone Savings Apps all the time!
Some of the food on sale throughout March includes:

We don’t have cable, and our antenna isn’t strong enough to pick up the local CBS affiliate. So when we found out that we can get Paramount+ for $5.99/month with limited commercials or $9.99 per month for commercial-free, we jumped on the chance.
Paramount+ has shows from CBS, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, and much more. They also have Original shows like Lower Decks (a family favorite).
I’ve been digging Evil lately, which, yes is cheesy, but it keeps me off the streets at night.
If you haven’t signed up yet, check this sweet deal: Celebrate Paramount+’s birthday with $1/month subscriptions for the first 3 months! Hurry, this offer won’t last long! Use code BIRTHDAY at checkout.
Looking to cut the cord/ditch the dish? Here is my post from a few years ago going over how we do it!
The spring is bringing many new and improved free and low-cost food options around San Diego County!
Keep in mind there are still supply chain issues, so there may not be a lot of food at some distributions, especially those that serve a large portion of the community.
I recommend showing up a little early with a bottle of water and a book and waiting in line. Time passes quickly in these lines, and it’s a great time to learn from others about community food options. Remember to socially distance and follow local masking regulations.
You can find resources here for Central and East County, and Here for North County.
Our friends at Faith Chapel are super ahead of the game and sent out information regarding their 2022 food distributions early on in the year.
If you are located outside San Diego County, call 211. If you are not familiar with 211, here is their website and it can point you in the right direction.
San Diego Food Bank Distributions for March 2022 can be found here. Enter your address (or just your zip code) and the map will show you all of the distributions in your area or closest to you. You can filter by the days of the week to find food when you are available. If there is an income requirement/limit to participate, each location/listing will say such.
Neighbor distributions are intermixed with the San Diego Food Bank Distributions, however, they have no income requirements, and you come as you are. These Distributions are primarily fruits & veg, however, some locations may also distribute canned goods, dairy, and bread.
Super Pantry Locations can be found here (this listing is countywide). The San Diego Foodbank website also has resources for Diaper banks, free food resources for seniors, and more.
All kids in public school K-12 in the State of California are eligible for free breakfasts and lunches at school. More information can be found here.
If you know of other resources, please leave a comment! And feel free to share this post with anyone you may know in need.
