Living On and Spending Less – Guest Post

By

Hi everyone! I have my friend Lyn guest posting today. I am sure that many of us can agree that it has not been the easiest of times. One of the best things about frugality is that you can be as creative as you would like to be with it or can be. There are many frugal tasks that I would like to do, but I've learned this year that I've needed to be a bit selective due to health issues.For example, ...

How To Make Mirror Into A Tray

Hi everyone! I've been looking for a mirror that I can turn into a tray to use on top of the storage chest that I use as a coffee table in my living room for sometime now and finally found one that fits the top exactly!  I've been looking for almost 6 months!

Having An Emergency Fund

By

I happened to catch Oprah last week when she had Suze Orman on (Recession Rescue with Suze Orman) and it was an interesting show! Love or hate her Suze has some good advice! I usually can't stand to watch her but the topic interested me. She now says that she recommends that if you have credit card debt that you only pay the minimum due! Yep, that's right! Instead of paying more toward your debt ... Read More about Having An Emergency Fund

Save More At The Grocery Store With Coupons

By

I've been trying to find ways to save some money since I'm on a mission to re-do my hall bath and the first place I always look to cut expenses is my grocery bill. I guess that's the one most of us tackle first! I do the usual cutting coupons, shopping for my pantry, and menu planning but there are always more ways to cut costs. Did you know that if you have say a Target coupon you can use a ... Read More about Save More At The Grocery Store With Coupons
