I recently saw the Ted Talk: The Ten Item Wardrobe while reading a blog post on Money Saving Mom. I have to admit, that when I first read the title I was a little skeptical. A ten item wardrobe…what!? I have more than ten bathing suits! But, after watching the video my perception changed. Maybe a ten item wardrobe could lead to a simpler life?
You put honey in your tea, but did you know there are so many other ways it can be useful? Just as there are many different uses for coconut oil and olive oil, honey is one of those items you have lying around the house that can be used in a variety of different ways. But make sure you’re using the real thing – raw honey
Moving is expensive, that’s no surprise. The surprise is just how many people move and how deeply it cuts into our finances. A recent survey of 306 people who recently moved, commissioned by Our Town America, a mover marketing franchise, revealed scary statistics. Just how many of us are moving? Of 300 million people living in the United Stats, more than 40 million of them are moving

Every year as my kids’ birthdays roll around, I find myself asking myself, “How can I do this on a budget?” One year, before I was writing for Bargain Babe, I wrote to her for help on this very subject! I’ve thrown many a birthday party at many a venue over the years, as well as attended more than my fair share of kids’ parties.
Packing school lunches is a chore my husband and I regularly fight over – that’s what a pain it is. I often acquiesce because it means seven minutes of alone time before everyone else comes down in the morning. But the worst part of packing lunches is hunting down enough plastic reusable containers and matching lids to put everything in (we don’t use throwaway lunch bags). Then
Every so often I catch my husband going through the refrigerator or pantry and throwing away items that have passed their expiration dates. Mayonnaise, relish, canned food. But have they really expired? Are you looking to minimize food waste and save money? Then stop throwing away perfectly good food. How to tell if the food you’re throwing out is really expired.
Pet food bills can really add up, especially if you have more than one four-legged friend living in your home. You don’t want to skimp on quality, since more expensive pet food is cheaper in the long run if you factor in how the lower quality (and less costly) brands are often bulked up with fillers. Also, it’s been my experience that better quality food may
Since I graduated college I’ve wondered if I made a mistake in choosing my major. English and Journalism seemed like the natural choice for an avid reader and writer BUT was my education really worth the investment? Money.com’s article, “Here’s What the Average Grad Makes Right Out of College,” shares statistics that has me, and may have you, rethinking your chosen major. How Much Do
Love this new study from Ebates about what Moms DON’T want for Mother’s Day, which is Sunday May 10th this year. My best Mother’s Day yet was when my husband and two other husbands made plans for a group of us to have brunch together. They planned everything, cooked everything, and cleaned everything. It was heavenly. What Moms don’t want for Mother’s Day
Discovered this totally amazing site that lets you calculate – down to the penny – how much money your local public library saves you every year. Awesome! I discovered it last week when I was perusing my own public library’s site, which was recently redesigned. How much do you use your library – in dollars?
A couple of years ago, I adopted a senior cat from the pound. I took him to the veterinarian, who told me that he was in the early stages of kidney failure and would need frequent blood work and urinalyses done. I was devastated and felt myself starting to mourn. I did not have pet insurance and found that the frequent vet visits were not only
Love them or loathe them, Peeps are everywhere this time of year. Gritty to the taste, they are more than just “food.” They are perfect for crafts and decorating your table as well as your desserts. And best of all, they are cheap! (Or should I say, “cheep!”) Some of these suggestions are 100% legit, others are just for fun. Can you tell the difference? Does it matter?
For as long as I can remember I have been babysitting. As the oldest of four kids I began helping my parents with my brothers and sisters at a young age.
