    Monday July 12, 2010

    Vacation Bible School runs this week,  and that tends to mean I spend money shopping at places I don’t usually go with three kids in tow.   I stopped by World Market today because I needed more Torani Syrup for my coffee.  I was excited to see they were running their 2 for $12 deal ($6 [...]

  • Eat Mor Chikin!

    Friday July 9, 2010

    It’s not too late to get your cow on! Today is “Cow Appreciation Day” and if  you show up to your local Chick-Fil-A dressed up as a cow, you get a free meal! We went for lunch and met up with Aunt M & Cousin O.  We used the free starter kit, provided by CFA [...]

  • A Yard Sale Success Story

    Tuesday June 1, 2010

    This weekend was super busy, I will attempt to record it all before I forget everything. So, we decided to have another yard sale.  We had one last year over Memorial Weekend and we got rid of so much stuff then, I wondered if we’d have enough junk to host another sale, but surprise surprise, [...]

  • Farewell, Old Friend

    Saturday April 24, 2010

    Today has been a low-key, kick it around the house, kind of day.  While we were in the backyard this morning, I reminded Mike that we should take a picture of his motorcycle so we could list it on Craigslist.  He agreed, and so we did. His bike is a 1998 Honda Hawk GT 650 [...]

  • Frugal Friday: Hopping on the SwagBucks Bandwagon

    Friday April 23, 2010

    Most people already know about Swagbucks, but, as usual, I am late to the party (a trendsetter, I am not).  I finally joined a few weeks back, and decided to try it out for a while before deciding if it was worth promoting.  Now that I’ve had spent a month or so using it, I’m [...]

  • Saving on Oil Changes

    Monday April 12, 2010

    My car has been reminding me that it needed an oil change all weekend, so I made plans to take care of it today. The last time I got an oil change, I took the car to Jiffy Lube. I wanted the convenience of a quick turnaround and didn’t mind paying what I thought would [...]

  • WFMW: Date Night on the Cheap

    Wednesday April 7, 2010

    Date Night is important, but unfortunately, there’s no money in the budget right now for babysitters.  So we had to get creative and improvise. The way we currently achieve “Date Night” is by designating one night of the week as Date Night.  It’s currently Tuesdays.  We told our kids (ages 6, 4 and 2) that [...]

  • Friday Fun with Food and Finances

    Friday March 26, 2010

    Wendy, my kindergartner, is a lunch bringer.   Her Dad packs her lunches most mornings, something I am eternally thankful for.  But she began to complain that she wanted a chance to buy her lunch at school occasionally, so we worked out a deal. If she did a good job eating her lunch Mon – Thurs, [...]

  • How much do you value your cuppa joe?

    Wednesday March 24, 2010

    One of the ways we’ve trimmed our budget is to cut back on our Starbucks habit and make coffee at home each morning.   I do love my “skim” vanilla mocha (with whip) every now and then, but now reserve it for special treats. I find if I make a pot of coffee in the morning, [...]

  • Swimming Pools: Cheap Fun with Kids!

    Saturday March 13, 2010

    We’re working hard to trim our budget, so we aren’t as footloose and fancy free as we used to be when it came to spending money on  fun kid activities. We recently discovered Arlington county pools have “free swim” for kids on Saturdays.  Meaning, you arrive between 1 and 3pm, pay for the adult(s) and [...]
