I checked my email when I got up this morning and had an offer from Snapfish stating I could get 20 photo greeting cards for 1 cent each if I used their promo code. Now, this is a great deal because they normally cost $14.99 for each set of 20! I logged in and created [...]

I had signed up for a book club a while back and although I don’t buy from them often, sometimes they have great deals that I can’t pass up…like tonight. They had a “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” sale going on and I was able to get FOUR hardcover books for just over $27 (and [...]

Lots of PF bloggers have been writing about how to winterize your home to save energy since the weather is getting colder now. Even though we don’t pay our heat or water bills (they are included in our rent), I went out and spent about $15 on buying some of the window kits because our [...]

Now, I know everyone likes to save money, right? Right. One thing I often forget about is online coupons! And I’m not necessarily talking about the printable coupons that you can take to the grocery or drug store with you.

First of all, went and voted this morning and it took all of 5 minutes. There was NO line whatsoever. Odd.

Here’s a review of the goals I had set for October and how well (or bad) we did on achieving them.

$30 per week on groceries ($120 for the month) - Not even close. We spent over $100 per week on groceries this month due to my new “healthy lifestyle” and change in what I’ve been [...]
