Return only with a receipt

I hate returning anything because I am not good at keeping receipts.  I had Little Man’s humidifier stop working on me so I was going to take it back to the store since it was a Wal-Mart only product.  They only wanted to give me $5 for it and I totally understand why.  It was […]

My Not So Wordless Wednesday

I shared with you all that my husband recently returned from a missions trip.  He went to Haiti.  I’ve been told that Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world.  Here are just a few of the pictures that he took.

See all that trash in the water?  These are canals they have.  I’ve […]

Perdue Perfect Portions

I hate touching raw meat.  I hate uneven chicken breasts that don’t cook well.  I also hate having to cut off fat and tendons.
Imagine how thrilled I was when I tried Perdue Perfect Portions.  Each fillet is perfectly sized and individually wrapped for fast and even cooking.  I was amazed when I began to open […]

Thrifty Tips from Baby Cheapskate

 
We’re almost out of diapers.  Ugh!  I have not seen any diaper sales lately and there certainly haven’t been any good coupons to use.  What to do?
As I am pondering where I’m going to shop for diaper deals, I remembered to check out Baby Cheapskate.  Each week Angie gives the low down on where to […]

Cutting My Cable Bill

I was livid when I opened my cable bill.  Another increase!!?!!!  It seems every few months I am paying more.  To be honest, I have argued with myself about cutting the cable.  If it wasn’t for the Noggin channel, I would have cut it long ago.  I’m growing tired of waiting for the FCC to give […]

Bundle Me for free

So I have been wanting a Bundle Me car seat carrier cover but refused to pay $40 for it. It got really cold this week finally and my poor Little Man was really cold. I had a basket of toys in my trunk that I wanted to sell to my local used […]
