As you know I have been busy purging, selling and cleaning my house. It’s a good thing I have time on my hands, this is a HUGE job! I remember having to do this in an apartment but not an entire house. Yikes! While purging and cleaning and posting things to sell, I discovered that…

When I started this blog and tackling more frugality practices, I started putting myself various businesses mailing lists to keep up to date with sales. I figured that I should be kept in the loop as to what is going on sale, if they send a promotional coupon or perhaps even get a few free…
Back to School Shopping on a Budget

I actually wrote a post on the subject, then deleted it when I realized that I have no leg to stand on and no one would listen to me anyways. Thing is, I am not a parent and I don’t know any children so to be honest, I have no idea what parents are dealing…
