As many of you know, Yard Sale season is a close second, only to Christmas in my book. (Ok actually…don’t tell Santa, but it really might be #1.) If you follow the #YardSaleNinja hashtag on Instagram, you’ll see that more often than not, I come home with a HAUL of amazing things from even 1…
It’s no secret that I am not a couponer. In fact, you could consider me captain of the Anti-Couponing Team. I was recently interviewed for CNBC on WHY I don’t coupon (nor recommend couponing) at the grocery store. I realized I hadn’t talked about it for a while on here, and thought I’d remind you why I DON’T coupon, and…
ALOHA from Hawaii! That’s right, I’m in Oahu right now and loving it. I love to travel (who doesn’t, right??), but flights are usually what hold us back from going to all the places on our bucket list. Lucky for you, over time I have gathered a list of tips on how to get the…
FREEBS! I have the most EXCITING project for all of us! We are going to hunker down and focus on our finances in November, to make way for the BEST year of Holidays we’ve ever had. In just a few short weeks of working hard we will have Christmas completely paid for, have a stress-free…
In case you haven’t heard, our house is for sale. I’ve had SO MANY questions about it! And while I’m still a newbie, I promised to share everything I learn along the way with YOU. I’ve teamed up with CVS to show you how my family has managed to not go broke and has stayed…
Don’t you hate it when you buy something, then a short time later see that it’s dropped in price? It’s the worst. While many stores will refund the difference if the receipt brought in within 7 days or so, this is much tricker (or nonexistent) when buying online. I found a company that fixes all…
Change your financial future with the 70:20:10 budget rule!
Do you ever think, “You bought that NEW??” when you see someone who pays out the nose for something that really should have been bought second-hand? No? Just me? My blog went on the fritz last night and I wasn’t able to post the post the budgeting post I was planning on. Don’t you worry,…
One of the main questions I get asked is about FRUGAL FASHION! Freebs want to know how to look good on a serious budget. It’s no secret that much of my wardrobe I have bought online (aside from yard sales). With 4 little kids I just don’t have time to go to stores any more!…
Truth be told, I’m cheap…but I’m no cheapskate (yes, there is a difference!). While “cheapskates” will focus only on bottom line cost, being “cheap” means finding a way to get a valuable item you want and need…and not pay full-price for it! For the most part, most of what I own is second-hand, clearance, closeout, floor…
FREEBS. Today I have a Reader Success Story that will knock your SOCKS off! Today Jenny Park is going to share the story of how she attended my Frugality Boot Camp conference, then got inspired to pay off debt…and she did! Her family got out of – are you sitting down? – $19K in credit…
