Disclosure: I attended a Staples back-to-school event and was provided with a gift card. All opinions are 100% my own. Here in New York, we have over a week left of back-to-school shopping time. My kids don't start school til' September 4th so I'm still scrambling around to get some last minute items they need for school. I attended a back-to-school Staples event a few weeks ago so my kids already knew what they wanted to get. I brought back some wonderful things for my girls and they … [Read more...]

Do You Always Shop Within Your Budget?
I often wonder if I'm the only person that always, without fail, go over my budget when it comes to food shopping. I don't know what it is. I think I'm doing it right. Before I leave my house, I always start off with a list. I go in the pantry and see what's missing and I do the same in the refrigerator. I leave with cash in my purse (it saves me more money, in my opinion), my coupons and my list. Once I'm at the store, I try to stay on track with what's on my list. That doesn't … [Read more...]

The best part about that is the meat. We have meat to last us all winter, which is good for our pockets too. I have to tell you though, hunting clothes and the products that go along with hunting are … [Read more...]
