I’m a sucker for Greek food — all types of food really! Gyros are one of my favorites. What’s not to love about a warm pita filled with meat? I’d go broke if I headed out to lunch every time I was craving a gyro, so when I stumbled on a gyro recipe from The Kitchn I had to give it a try. Even my
I was shocked by a stat that said a full third of Americans – 35% – are struggling to make ends meet. And that women are disproportionately affected, which surprised me because I heard so much about the “hesession,” i.e. men losing jobs at a faster pace than women because manufacturing and other male-dominated fields saw greater job losses.

I heard the most bizarre story on NPR about a broker who resells weddings that have been called off by the bride and groom.

I recently listed my IKEA loft bed frame on Craigslist after I was inspired by reader Christian L. (see comments), who regularly makes money on Craiglist. He’s been very successful at selling items on Craigslist for as low as $1 and as high as $4,000 (In case you’re wondering, it was a car.). Wow! He’s super savvy so I asked him for tips on selling
Eileen writes in with an easy tip to avoid buying gift bags, which can easily cost $3-$4! I have started to purchase cloth bags to use to “wrap” presents. Our grocery store had team-themed bags closed out at $1.50 each. They are heavy duty and will hold the heavier and bigger presents without ripping.

I stumbled upon a new Kickstarter campaign that caught my attention because it aims to change the way we think of food and money with a dumpster diver café. Maximus Thaler, a student at Tufts University, is raising money to cover rent and utilities for the Gleaners Kitchen, an “underground restaurant” that will use foods found in dumpsters for it’s dishes. Thaler’s idea has been

I was stunned that nine out of 10 readers who chatted with me on the BargainBabe.com Facebook page about how many credit cards they had in their wallet HAD NONE! Those nine readers only carry debit cards. Confession: I have never used a debit card, ever. I am scared of debit cards! Why do you use debit?
