More Than a Little

When I make meal plans, I don’t necessarily plan on making every item on the exact day I listed. IMy real goal is to make sure that there are ingredients for every meal, every day. I did pretty well last week–I made everything on my list except pizza. I’ll put it on the list for [...]

My grandfather used to give us all a Sam’s Club membership for Christmas every year.  When he stopped bothering with that, we missed it and started paying the membership fee on our own.  The last few times we were there, though, we didn’t buy much, and actually thought the prices were fairly awful.  Our membership [...]

I received a huge coupon booklet in the mail today from Kroger! It was called “Big Game Party Plan”. I was pretty happy because I never get coupons from Kroger now that I am actually a coupon shopper, and also, I tried to convince myself to go grocery shopping today and failed, so getting the [...]

I headed over to CVS this afternoon to check out the week’s deals. My CVS is not conveniently located so I usually make an effort to only go once a week and I skip going some weeks altogether.  I was kind of excited about the greeting card deal, though I am apparently in an American [...]

I have always had a frugal streak in me, though that streak has gotten wider as I’ve gotten older. Luckily, I married someone thrifty as well–that makes life easier! Anyway, I have always had a ton of little things that I do to save money. Some of them I have laughed at even to myself [...]
