Attitude

When you are living within your means and not in debt, and especially when you are making changes to live that lifestyle, attitude is easily your most important tool in your frugal toolbox. For example, to me, a vehicle is transportation, that’s all. It’s not a status symbol. It’s not a statement about who I [...]

3 Steps to save with online purchases

I rarely use in-store coupons, because too often they offer insignificant savings on items I would not normally buy.  If a coupon entices you to spend money you weren’t planning to spend, it’s not a true savings.  Unless, of course, it’s a coupon for chocolate covered berries.  Then anything goes!  All’s fair in love and [...]

Quizno’s coupons

I try not to eat out often, but when I do I want to make my money count.  I used to think I like Subway sandwiches until hubby took me to Quizno’s.  Quizno’s blows Subway out of the water (bad pun alert!).   More meat, more flavor, better bread, all toasty-hot and delicous! So…because I [...]

Frugal Rhythms

Dropping my soaked beans into the crockpot and chopping onions to be used when pre-cooking some ground turkey, I realized that I was enjoying the frugal rhythms of my day. While filling the second crockpot with the turkey, and adding the chopped onions to the mix, I was making a few trips outside to water my [...]

Save on auto parts

When I make purchases online, I nearly always do a quick search for a coupon.  There are many sites that list coupons, but CouponChief is one of the most popular.  I’ve heard of it before but just rediscovered it last week. For some reason I thought Couponchief was primarily for printing out coupons to use [...]
