Bring on the Tomatoes
I love gardening, but my garden has been one big FAIL this year. I have to say in all the years that I have gardened this one was the worst. I even broke down at one point and put Miracle Grow on. I know, now it’s not organic, but I was getting desperate. Don’t worry [...]
Dissatisfacation with Priceline.com
This is company I have never used before. In my excitement to save 2% on a number of companies I chose to go through ebates.com. I have done this in the past with Hotwire.com and it worked so perfectly, so I was not worried at all about doing this again. I found the best deal [...]
Watch For Falling Stockpile
Oh yes, it did happen. Oh yes, it was quite a mess. We were finishing up lunch and my daughter wanted one last thing out of the pantry, as she reached in on the far left side, things began to come crashing down on the far right side. All she could do was stand back [...]
Pride Cometh Before a FAIL
I pride myself in giving pretty creative gifts. As you can see HERE I like to make the whole thing, including the bag, part of the gift. Today was almost the same challenge as always, the only difference is I needed to buy a baby gift. My kids are teenagers, and all my friends have [...]
What Just Happened?
Seriously how do these things always seem to happen to me? Does anyone else have as many issues as I do at the registers? I am not mad or frustrated, I just have to laugh because the most illogical solutions are given to me nearly every time. And every time I walk away ask, what [...]
FREE Stuff – FAIL
Careful what you request for FREE. How on earth did I end up with a T-shirt 3 times my size? If this were the 80′s and my hair were bigger I would be set. I really wanted to blame it on my husband but it was my name only, right there on the package. What [...]
Back At It
So last week I was gone for the week. I have worked so hard to really cut back on our food budget and I have worked really hard on a good stockpile so I am able to go into store and get only what I have on my list. Things were going really well, my [...]
Wheaties Fuel vs. Chocolate Cheerios
Ok I did a taste test of the 2 new cereals that are out there. I tried the new Wheaties Fuel and I also tried the Chocolate Cheerios. First off I do really like Wheaties and was pretty bummed that these were really nothing like the original Wheaties. But I did think they were OK. [...]
Walgreens FAIL
This is crazy, every single time I got to Walgreens I make a mistake. I am making a category called FAIL because we all do this. It just seems like I am doing it a lot and it always seems to happen at Walgreens. I don’t particularly like that store anyways, so going in there [...]
With the economy the way it is, it seems like everyone is cutting back and trying hard not to spend money aimlessly on things. I think this is great. This is something that many people have needed to do for years now. But with so many blogs out there filled with all types of money saving tips, which I too will share, there comes a point where you feel guilty buying something that you truly want or enjoy, but you need to know, it's ok to splurge every now and then.
