I’m back in school and working part time, so I guess we’ll see how these [...]

Got my email confirmation for my Walgreens September EasySaver rebates! Not such a bad month, if I do say so myself. Hoping this applies to my gift card before I go to the store tomorrow to do my deals. I’ve got about 10 items I need to get, and although some of them will [...]

While we were in Las Vegas on vacation earlier this month, we went out to dinner at Margaritaville, which was right next door to our hotel. We hadn’t planned on it, but our last night there there wasn’t much else to do since we didn’t want to buy tickets to see another show (had already [...]

The other day I had a reader leave me a comment asking how I got to be so far in debt if I have been tracking my expenses since I was 16 years old. Instead of being off put by this question, I replied to her honestly and thought I would address it here, too.

Transaction #1
3 Robitussin cough syrup: $5 each - $3 coupon for each = $6.36 with tax (used gift card to pay). Generated a $10 register reward coupon, so I made $3.64 on this transaction.
Transaction #2

I made a trip to Sam’s Club yesterday to pick up some stuff in bulk. We usually use our membership mainly to get good deals on meat, but this time I picked up quite a few different items. Since I’ve decided to make homemade pizza once a week (so cheap compared to ordering in and [...]

I absolutely love MyPoints. I got their Visa card so now I use that for all of our grocery and gasoline purchases (as well as other stuff here and there that we have the cash for but want to earn reward points for), plus I get points by doing their surveys and reading their emails.

Since I’m trying to cut our grocery bill down even more when we can due to the whole part time job thing, I’ve gone through and made a menu for the next month by using the rest of the meat we have in the freezer and trying to make cheaper (and fulfilling) meals that [...]

Since starting to make homemade pizza each week instead of ordering it, I have tried out a few different recipes for crust (this saves us so much money, especially since we often have friends over on Friday nights…so making 2 pizzas at home is only a fraction of the cost of ordering in). I think [...]
