Happy Friday! It’s been a while since I’ve posted some Frugal Find Friday steals and deals, so here are a few goodies I’ve had my eye on. The frugal finds for today include a Lego Rental company, a gorgeously sparkly Mickey Mouse necklace (perfect gift for someone), getting paid to take surveys or use coupons,…
Freebs, I’m home! I had a blast at Disneyland with the fam, can’t wait to tell you all about it. I’m sure you’re sick of these Q&A posts but since I went through all the work to chop the hour-long Q&A session up for you, figured I might as well post the remainder of the…
Freebs! Guess where I am right now? That’s right, DISNEYLAND. It’s our first time going as a family, and BOY, do I have lots of money-saving tips for you! Be sure to keep tabs on me on Instagram, I’ll be sharing tips throughout the week. To keep you all from missing me desperately, I spent…
Loved trying a daytime LIVE Q&A today! So many of you tuned in, and your questions were beyond amazing (seriously, I have the best readers). We started a little late…kid issues, internet issues, general issues with life itself, but still had great time. Click and watch the video below (or watch online HERE) and scroll down to…
Bubba and I got a sitter and set out for our “Bubba-only-goes-shopping-every-3-years-so-its-time-to-go-nuts-and-update-his-wardrobe” shopping mission. As we were shopping (click here to see our excitement) and oohing and aaahing over the deals, I was reminded of this post that I did a while ago on “the top 7 store sales you should NEVER miss!” that also includes tons of…
…and POOF! Christmas is over. Did that fly by for anyone else?? Even though we decorated early and tried to squeeze every second out of the Christmas season, it still flew by. It’s been forever and a day since I’ve done a wrap-up post, so I thought I’d start by wrapping up our Christmas week with…
I was recently contacted by a food science major at NC State University who was doing a thesis paper on buying name-brand vs off-brand, or store-brand, items. She found me online and asked for a quick interview via email to help her with her research. I was happy to oblige. I thought I would share…
I popped into Savers (a thrift store near me) to look for some parts for our Halloween costumes today. (Our costumes are going to be uh-may-zing, by the way.) While there I did some additional perusing, of course. Just to remind you how non-sucky (pardon my french) thrifting can be, here are some of my finds…
Believe it or not, there is a difference between being cheap, and being a cheapskate. A BIG difference, in fact. I was reminded of this recently with a Kmart shoe debacle I was caught up in. But before telling you about the debacle (a miserable, obnoxious time-wasting debacle at that), I wanted to clarify the difference…
Happy Frugal Find Friday! Today I’m sharing some great finds and exclusive deals with you…to make your weekend brighter, of course. Today I’m highlighting exclusive discounts on 2 of my favorite clothing items right now, great deals on lip gloss and jewelry, and an exclusive Bottle Bands discount. FIRST UP… Exclusive discount on my 2 new…
It’s official…I’m breaking up with “What to wear Wednesday“. As I explained here, you guys want more fashion on this blog, so frugal fashion is what you’ll get! BUT…I just can’t seem to get my act together enough to get it out regularly on Wednesdays. Call it summer, call it laziness, call it the “I just really…
