The Temptation of Great After Holiday Deals

There are some great holiday deals out there, but giving in to temptation can put you into debt. Here is how to take advantage of those deals without hurting your finances.

Rewards R Us Reward

I love shopping. I don’t shop for much more than essentials because I just don’t have the funds. The shopping I do beyond groceries and household supplies is usually for the children. I know I’m not alone in this. I think all parents find that they shop for the kids quite a bit. Christmas just ended. I’m very fortunate that I don’t have any bills left over and Christmas is paid for. Christmas added to my spending, though. Whenever I need to shop, especially if it’s an occasion where I need to shop more than I normally might, I look … Continue reading →

How We Saved Money on Furniture and Home Decor

We are in the middle of fixing up our dining room, complete with a new dining room table, a set of six chairs, and all of the tablecloths, place mats and decorative touches. We’ve already installed a new lighting fixture. One thing we haven’t done is to spend a lot of money on any of this. Here is how. First, we scouted around for a dining room set that we liked.

However, Oprah is, saying, “My first favorite thing is state of the art and I carried it around with me all through Macon.” It is high-definition and records to a chip, so you can easily download it to your computer. Maybe it would be cool, if Oprah gave me one. Ugg Australia Crochet Tall Boot Apparently, this is the … Continue reading →

Overstock.com Closeouts

Now that I have three children, ages six years old and under, I really appreciate being able to shop online. Of course, I still like to get a good sale or a deal.
