HEY ALL!

I have been busy in the last few days prepping for my upcoming BIG yard sale that I am having on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I hope the weather will be decent for it. I thought I would share another site that I have come across that is a fun but thrifty site to be a part of. Check out Thrifty Fun. It is a site that I just saw a post about in a yahoo group I belong to. It is a community for others who have great ideas on ways to be thrifty on almost anything. You can't miss checking it out.

CHRISTMAS MONEY SAVERS

As we all know Christmas is the most expensive holiday that most people actively celebrate. With the trend of the economy taking turns for the worst, it leaves people that traditionally go big on Christmas wondering how they are going to buy the gifts that they want to get. I myself are going to try to give gifts that are frugal but will match the person that I am getting the gift for. I found a neat site that gives you frugal ideas for gifts. Click Here to check it out. You can get a few of these and put in a gift bag or you can do a basket (like a bath & body style basket that you get from a dollar store). Another idea is to draw names on Thanksgiving and just get the person that you chose a gift. Sometimes my family does dirty Santa, which can be a lot of fun. There are ways to get creative and still be able to enjoy Christmas.

GET A COUPON FOR A FREE CALISTOGA WATER

Fill out the one question survey and then fill in the address prompts to get a coupon for a free 4 or 6 pack of Sparkle or Still Calistoga Water. I thought this was a good one to share with you.freebies.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE CHEAPEST GAS IS IN YOUR AREA?

If you are like others you are trying to save money where ever you can. Try going to this website that I found Gas Buddy and enter your zip code. That will make a list of gas stations come up that is in your area and will give you the prices they are selling gas for.

MY FAVORITE COUPON SITE

Since I became a WAHM I have been on a quest to learn how to save money. One way that I do so is to clip coupons. I clip all of the coupons every Sunday and organize them. I never leave home without coupons when I know I am going to a store. The Coupon mom is a site that has lots of features to help the consumer save money at their local grocery store and it is FREE. I like that you can look up your local stores on their site by zip code and see all of the current deals that is offered. There is also the Sunday Paper coupon database that you can even get alerts on when your favorite items come out with a coupon. How neat is that. There is a section to print coupons from. If you are going out to eat, take time to check out the restaurant coupon database to see if you can get a deal and if you shop online check out the section for Online Coupon Codes to see if you can save by using one. Last but definately not least, check out the free ebooks that teach you methods on how to become a coupon guru. I can't say enough about this site.

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog.

I guess I will start by telling a little about myself. I have been a work at home mom for 2 years now. I got a great opportunity from a friend that was running an office in healthcare and took it. I do data entry from home for the office and turn in my work 2 times a week by going to the office and linking to the network. I usually spend 5-6 hours daily on it. I can say that I don't miss going into work like I used to but at times miss the interaction with other people. My daughter, Courtney, is 7 years old and has started the 2nd grade. We like all of the quality time we get because of my new job. Before I was a work at home mom I was a retail manager that worked around 60-80 hours a week and seemed to never get to have a lot of mommy and daughter time. I love what I do now. Because of my change in lifestyle do the move to work-at-home, I started to look into great finds on the internet to save money. I am amazed at how my spending and general need for things has changed. I started this blog so that I can share with others what I find on the internet and if I come across a great product I will definately let you know. Now that gas prices have been extremely high, I am sure glad that I don't have to use much as I would if I worked outside of the home.
