Send your praises to Gayla at Mom Gadget for this one, Krispy Kreme is offering free doughnuts in celebration of National Doughnut Day! Tomorrow, June 1st, (which is also my sister’s birthday, happy birthday, Dawn) doughnut aficionados can visit participating Krispy Kremes and choose a free doughnut, as a thank you for their support […]
Do you have a rain barrel? Neither do we, well, technically we don’t. Our son’s old wading pool works wonders, however. We just leave it on a corner of our deck or backyard and use it as needed. A good summer downpour will provide a couple of day’s worth of water for veggies […]
Did you know that if you call a product manufacturer to comment on their goods you may receive some cool swag? Here’s a few cases in point:
A neighbor called a pacifier manufacturer to ask a question about a product and received a parcel filled with free binkies, binky clips, bibs, coupons and more.
When my […]
Even though we’re on a budget, I’ve been trying to think up some fun things for my five year old to do. It hasn’t been too difficult as he re-discovered his fire hydrant sprinkler and that’s been the agenda for pretty much the entire hot Memorial Day weekend so far. We played sprinkler ball, which […]
If you’re like us, you’d rather not spend money this Memorial Day weekend. As far as I’m concerned, the holiday weekends are the worst times to go away or go to the beach or lake. Prices are over inflated and who wants to pay a fortune to stand in long lines anyway? You can […]
Last fall I went on a “sister’s weekend” and spent a few days with my two older siblings in Manchester, Vermont. My sister chose Manchester because of the fall foliage and also the outlet shopping. I’m not one who frequents outlets, but was curious to see if the prices were cheaper than those […]
My neighbors are having a bulb swap! Many of them have beautiful gardens, but some of their plants are getting a bit out of control. Every couple of years they all get together to have a bulb swap. They did up the plants they don’t want and trade them for some of the neighbors […]

It’s been a while since I posted some freecycle finds. I’m happy to report my local chapter is going strong and inundating my mailbox with offers several times a day. Here are some of what’s up for grabs today:
A wooden rocking horse
College textbooks
A sail board
Sliding glass shower doors
Drapes
If you haven’t already jumped on board, […]
I just learned this great tip from a television gardening program. After steaming or boiling vegetables, save the (unsalted) water and pour on outdoor plants. The nutrients and organic matter in the water make for a wonderful frugal fertilizer. This works best for potted plants, but feel free to use it on all your outdoor […]
