In a post about making money from spring cleaning, Bargain Babe suggested you sell unwanted gold jewelry to a local pawn shop. Since spring is just around the corner, I wanted to share this video of the reality show Pawn Stars. They share their dos and don’ts of pawning.

I wrote about the Pawn Stars in my guide to living frugal TV shows. The show follows the Harrison family while working at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. The show airs on History. I love how brutally honest these guys are!

Yesterday, I shared money tips I’ve learned from the sitcom 2 Broke Girls. Since many of you mentioned you’d never seen the show, I’m sharing another funny clip of the girls heading to the dentist.

I suggested you catch up by watching at CBS.com, but I just found out CBS is no longer posting the full episodes. Boo! I’m going old school by setting up my VCR to record the show. Do people still have these?

The items are cute and easy to make. Best of all, you can make them one of a kind to gift or keep for yourself! Oh, and did I mention the added bonus? It helps cut your credit card spending! Just cut, cancel, and get crafty with your plastic. What do you do with your old credit cards?

In this sneak peek, you’ll meet Katherine who’s never missed the Black Friday frenzy… Umm, I mean deals. She’s even gone as far as hitting the sales after having surgery. Dang, that’s dedication!

Although temperatures are below zero, Katherine is on a mission. She’s using her extravagant RV as headquarters for the big night. You have to see the RV!!!

The video features couponing alums Callie and Melissa battling for a chance to become the “Ultimate Extreme Couponer.” At check out, Callie’s coupons will not scan – GASP! Will this set her back? Who will take home the crown?

That’s quite a scowl!

This looks like a really fun DIY project! Just think how fun it would be to go to a holiday party in these bad boys, and how much money you’d save compared to buying designer brands. I wonder how long the glitter really stays on, though…

Even if your utility company doesn’t provide a free energy audit to find leaks, the video has a secret to doing it yourself! I really need to make time for this stuff!

My weatherizing to do list:

• Check if my utility offers free energy audits
• Finish insulating basement pipes with foam insulation that we have laying around!
• Caulk leaky windows
• Buy and install insulation strip for drafty front door

What weatherizing projects are you not looking forward to doing?

Loud. Brash. Egotistical. That’s how I would describe Ramit Sethi, the New York Times best selling author of “I Will Teach You To Be Rich”. Ramit was the keynote speaker at the Financial Blogger Conference I attended and presented at earlier this month. He kicked off his talk with this video, which ticked off a lot of frugal bloggers.

After the conference my friend, Jen from Balancing Beauty and Bedlam, chatted me up on Skype.

Jen: Ok, I just watched the video…Funny, yes, but a TOTAL insult to frugal bloggers. So, was it funny in the context of his talk, or if you are a frugal blogger sitting there, would you still have been totally insulted?

Don’t want to read into it, but thought it was pretty nervy.

I understand his point, since his whole thing is about making money and don’t get caught up in saving $3 here and there. But what he forgets is that 80% of finances are behavior and emotion and if you can’t get your spending under control in the little things, it doesn’t matter how much you make, you’ll still have money issues.

So that is my beef with that. And since you were there, wondering your feedback. (Not like I am about to take on a NYT best seller or anything, BUT……

Julia: Yeah, the video was making fun of frugal and coupon bloggers, but I didn’t take it personally. Ramit is known for being inflammatory and making waves, so I guess I just saw it as another attempt to rile people up.

I believe in what I do and I know I save my readers thousands of dollars, not the pennies he showed in his video.

Not that I would try to convince him of that. Not worth my time, if you know what I mean!

Jen: I thought that probably was the take, that even frugal bloggers would chuckle if you were there and that out of context, it was just rude, but I did laugh and kind of laughed at him since he has no clue how the mentality of saving a bit here and there adds up to a lifetime of $100,000. Not everyone can be making 6 figures by just being entreupeneurial. But glad that everyone has that chance if they want to go for it.

What’s your take on Ramit’s video making fun of coupon clipping and frugality? Is this guy a total jerk?
