Mismatched, ugly, too big, or just plain oddball buttons are perfect for tons of recycled kid projects that you can make on the fly. You don’t want to toss buttons, because they’ll just sit in that old landfill forever. Yeah one button is small, but many add up, and why not use them if you […]
You know the problem with having many blogs that sort of interrelate? You write stuff at one that would be just as useful at another.
In thinking about what I’d like to write about here, I realized that I write a lot about saving money elsewhere. In case you’re interested, here’s a run down of some […]
I saw this photo while searching for something else, but it struck me so I saved it. I used to have these old thrift store bottles that I placed in windows with flowers and such, but I really like this idea above.
If you have the means, say, you can add some planks to your window, […]
Save money and don’t ever buy the following for your new baby…
Diaper wipe warmer! Seriously people. Your baby can take the cold wipes.
Walker - most aren’t consider safe, and a walker can actually halt natural walking abilities.
A baby lamp in the nursery: Frankly, I’m sort of against pastel animals and baby bottle decals of any […]
If someone asked you to tell them what purchases have saved you the most money over the last ten years what would you say? I know that I wouldn’t say, “The Volvo!” Seriously, don’t buy an older Volvo. But I digress. I actually do know my two best bargains over the last ten years.
One is […]
…is my new computer desk and exercise bike! Yes, indeed, I scored some sweet deals this week. Let me just start by saying that we are the fortunate recipients of many hand me downs, especially kids’ clothing. I have friends and family members who purposely save their kids’ old clothes for us. In fact, we are blessed […]
Sheesh! Ten years? Where has the time gone? Today, my husband and I celebrate ten years of marriage. In that short amount of time, we have spent much accomplished much. We’ve created seven humans, purchased three houses, sold two houses, maxed out several credit cards, paid off almost all of those cards, gone grocery shopping over 520 times, […]
One of my favorite cuts of beef is the boneless chuck roast. It is relatively inexpensive, easy to make and is so versatile! I stick the roast in a crock pot with some garlic, salt and pepper. I put it on the lowest setting before I head to bed and cook the roast overnight. The […]
I’m forever talking about homemade ice pops. Mainly I got interested in homemade pops to cut down on garbage. I hate tossing all that plastic away. That said, I had a problem with homemade ice pops for the last few years - I didn’t have the best molds. I had those kinds that are attached […]
Not all my posts will be this long; but I figured I should tell my budgeting story, before I get going with other thrifty tips. If you read my intro post, you’d know that I said I’m pretty darn thrifty. That said, how could I possibly spend $700 + on slurpees?
Long story short: I have […]
