Don’t be fooled by work at home scams!

August 26th, 2008 · 4 Comments

It seems like every couple of weeks, one of the message boards I’m on has someone looking for legitimate work at home (WAH-often adds a M for Mother, although opportunities aren’t limited to one sex) opportunities.  These queries are especially high this time of year, when kids go back to school and the holidays are […]

A much needed solution

August 19th, 2008 · No Comments

I’m a big fan of the Internet. However, it frustrates me that there are times when a simple query in the search engine of your choice just doesn’t get you what you need. One place where we have had this issue is with professionals who can do household chores We’ve tried […]

An ounce of prevention

August 10th, 2008 · No Comments

At this point, I’m fairly confident that a lot of us are worried about the economy and are hesitant about spending money on things they consider to be unnecessary. One thing that people who are worried about the economy may be missing, is the opportunity to invest money and effort into something today, that […]

In the game of frugality, I’m calling a draw

August 5th, 2008 · No Comments

So, I’ve blogged before about how I was holding off on getting my Spring Awakening tickets. I checked Broadway Box, and there was a new offer up but not for my dates, so I bit the bullet and ordered them. It’s only three weeks away, so I think I’m being smart.

New Phone Update

August 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

So, I’ve had my new phone (an EnV2) for a little over two weeks. Do I regret not getting a Palm Centro? Not really. I’d like an HTML browser, but I’m not keen on having to switch from an America’s Choice plan to a Nationwide Plan. I’m very happy with my […]

So about a week ago I got a dozen and a half  little bags of rice crackers at Ocean State Jot Lot.  They were $1.99 for all of them, so I figured they were worth a shot.  Yeach.  I think it may be the rice bran oil going rancid (though they don;t expire until August), […]

I don’t mind the moonlit swims, it’s the loop the loop that hurts…

July 19th, 2008 · 2 Comments

try to avoid getting all “the next generation is doomed money-wise,” really. But I saw a t-shirt today that blew my mind. It was in the girls’ section, sized for a nine year old, I’d say. It said I don’t need a piggy bank; I have Mom and Dad. I really […]

Overthinking?

July 19th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Ever get the feeling you were over thinking something by being frugal? I want to see Spring Awakening when I’m in New York next month. Given that Playbill.com kept on sending me offers that end around August 1, I figured I’d wait until July 1. July 1 has come and gone, […]

Back on eBay

July 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment

So I’m back in the eBay saddle again. There’s no real reason why I tend to fall on and off of eBay (and half.com /amazon.com selling as well), but I tend to do it in spurts. However, I just listed some formula coupons on eBay-I got them free, so I figure anything I […]
