Thursday Cleaning Challenge - Get out of that closet

Now that we have tackled just about every room, I want to hit a personal hotspot … the closet.  The golden clothing rule should apply here.  If you haven’t worn it this season, donate or sell it.  Don’t hang onto it.  No, I am sorry, but you will not fit into those jeans again that […]

Save on Pampers at Target

Now is the time to get Pampers diapers on clearance.  I was at Target tonight and they had their summer lots marked down 30%.  You can get a case of Pampers diapers for $19.99. 
I noticed the size 4 Cruisers had 100 diapers in each box.  This means you’re only paying about 20 cents per diaper.  Combine that […]

Debt Terminator Giveaway

Within the past year, my husband and I have become debt free!!!!  I can’t begin to tell you how freeing it is to only have a house payment.  We all know that debt ties us down, but we don’t realize how bad it really is until we’re out of it’s bondage.
