The phone of awesomeness

May 18, 2010

In one of Friday’s posts, I referred to the phone of awesomeness. I thought today might be a good day to talk a little more about that purchase since on first glance, it might not appear to be the most frugal purchase.
My husband and I were both up for new phones this year. He was [...]

May 14th picture of the week

May 14, 2010

Since I have my new phone of awesomeness (more on that next week), I thought I’d start posting some pictures. Keep in mind I am not a photographer. I’m just your run of the mill accountant with no eye for lighting and color, who is running around with a camera in her phone. This could [...]

Does everything have to be disposable?

May 14, 2010

This morning I woke up and started trolling the blogs I read each morning. One post, in particular, struck me. Kristen at The Frugal Girl wrote about a new product that was just released by Kleenex.
Yes, I know it looks like an odd shaped box of tissues, but it’s really disposable hand towels. First thing [...]

Check out Pork Tenderloin

May 13, 2010

The key to making quick dinners is selecting the right cut of meat. A lot of quick dinners around here involve broiling or grilling meat. One of my favorite go-to dinners is the pork tenderloin.
If you’ve never had pork tenderloin, it’s like the filet of pork. The meat is juicy and tender. You really don’t [...]

Saving by Spending

May 12, 2010

I have to note that as I’m writing this post, I’m trying to resist the urge to turn the heat back on. It’s currently 43 degrees in my neck of the woods with an expected high of 47. It’s almost the middle of May! I refuse to turn my heat back on. I may have [...]

Before you buy that new car

May 11, 2010

Yesterday, my car went in for major maintenance. We are talking MAJOR maintenance. The total bill will be between $950 and $1150. My car has almost 100,000 miles on it. I started thinking about buying a new car. Then I remembered how much I love not having a car payment. Even if I had a [...]

Manic Monday

May 10, 2010

Mondays are normally pretty crazy around here. Jeff has Mondays off so we use the day to catch up on all those things we should have done over the weekend.
We had a very hectic weekend because of Mother’s Day. Saturday afternoon we went over Jeff’s parent’s house. We brought filet from Stew Leondard’s. We paid [...]

Home Depot Veteran’s discount available everyday!

May 7, 2010

Yesterday, I posted about a Home Depot purchase but I forgot to mention the discount we received. I’ve recently learned that the Veteran’s discount that Home Depot publicizes on Veteran’s Day is actually available everyday. The discount is 10% and applies to sale purchases as well. In the past month, I’ve spent a lot at [...]

Do it yourself and save some cash

May 6, 2010

We’ve got a large yard. Well large for New England standards anyway. As the weather started getting nice, Jeff and I had to consider the chore of mowing. Neither one of us likes to mow but we’ve got a nice tractor to make the job easier. A few weeks, we went to start the tractor [...]

All day to make fresh bread? Not anymore!

May 5, 2010

I love the smell and taste of good homemade bread but who has time? My schedule is not exactly conducive with making bread at home on a regular basis. Well, that’s until I discovered Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. The book was released near the end of 2007 and I’m kicking myself for not [...]
