Coupons, Freebies, and Tips to Save Money Every Day
Are you experiencing sticker shock every time you go to the grocery store these days? You are not alone. I do a double take nearly every time I see the total on the cash register.

Anyone else out there feel like your summer has been a HOT MESS? Have your activities revolved around camps, travel, extended family, childcare or perhaps just a ton of time at home with the little ones? Honestly, sometimes downtime at home can be just what you need, but on the other hand there is always the chance things can get a little stressful with just you
My family eats a lot of garlic. In fact, I can’t think of a single dinner we eat that doesn’t include garlic. The problem is – peeling and chopping garlic is time consuming and tedious (and gives you smelly fingers!). And I don’t like anything that stands in the way of getting dinner on the table as quickly and easily as possible. So I’ve come
Happy New Year to all! January 1st feels like a fresh slate, this year perhaps more than ever. Your mind may be flooded with good intentions, plans, sound strategies and serious commitments.

If 2020 has taught me anything – and there have been plenty of unwelcome lessons this year – it’s that there’s no need to overcomplicate things. Life is going to find plenty of ways to keep us on our toes. So I’ve adopted a mantra for this Christmas: Simplify. And that starts with the food. I’ve decided I don’t want to spend all Christmas day

This Halloween we didn’t have as many visitors as we’re used to so we have a TON of leftover candy. Since my nephew is only five (and already hyper enough) we’re trying to get the leftover candy out of the house as soon as possible. For this reason, I’ve been looking for uses for leftover Halloween candy…because no candy should go waste! Here are 12
As I post this, I am literally surrounded by fires. My poor, beleaguered state is in flames, and my family is hunkered down trying not to expose ourselves to the air that at times has reached “hazardous” (the most dangerous level) on the air quality index. I first wrote this post in 2016, which seems like a much more innocent time now! In light of
If you’ve followed BargainBabe for a while, you may have seen me mention my lifelong love of thrifting a time or two. Typically, a huge proportion of our clothing and household items were discovered at our favorite charity thrift stores, including my summer wardrobe. During quarantine, I went nearly four months without going thrifting, which might be a lifetime record for me. When I finally
