Fruitful Shopping Trip
Posted in Cheap, Cheapskate, Personal Hygiene, Tightwad, tagged Deals, fruit, Marden's, savings on Friday, June 19, 2009 | 2 Comments »
My daughter and I went to Marden’s the other day with friends. While there we came across some great savings:
1. I purchased 4 spray bottles of fruit scented body spray at .10 each. They were all full-size bottles.
2. My daughter picked up a very long telephone cord for only .50.
I love finding good deals!

A Cheaper Way to do School Pictures
Posted in Cheap, Cheapskate, Low-Income, Tightwad, tagged Cheap, school pictures on Sunday, March 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Go to Wal*Mart.

Oh, okay. It doesn’t have to be Wal*Mart. It can be anywhere that you can get a package deal cheaper than through the school department. You can give the school a picture for the yearbook if you choose.

I wipe mine off and reuse it as many times as [...]
Freeze Your Buns off Challenge 2008

I thought that you all would be interested in this challenge. Though you are not expected to turn the heat off entirely, you are expected to turn it down a little.
The benefits are less pollution and a bit more money in your pocket.
