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?
March 28, 2010 by 13 Comments
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...]

December 6, 2008 by
Living with a Deer Hunter isn't easy. I should know, I'm married to a one. You have to deal with many things; the hunting clothes, the smell, the mess, the grouchy-husband-because-he-is-so-tired-from-waking-up-at-2AM-to-be-up-on-the-tree-at- 5-6AM, and of course the dead deer in your yard. 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...]

I don't have to tell you that we are facing some tough economical times in the months and years ahead. With a worldwide economic recession an arms width away, shopping for holiday gifts is a frightening prospect for many parents. Retailers are scared too and as a result are offering up great deals on many of today’s popular toys and games. When it comes to bargain hunting, it pays to shop around.
