I thought you would enjoy reading this article I wrote–and that was just posted on BabyCenter–on eight hidden money savers you can use every day. I interviewed a handful of great people for the story and mention a bunch of websites you may want to check out for yourself. I’ve listed those sites below. In [...]
Hope you like this podcast recap of our month of no new spending. No New Spending Recap
As you know my husband and I declared March to be our month of no new spending. With the month over tomorrow, I’ve been spending the past few days working on a wrap-up and recap of exactly how the month worked out for us. Doing so has taken a bit longer than expected, so stay [...]
Believe it or not, my Suddenly Frugal book will be at the publisher next week, and on the road towards bookstores for the fall. As I spend this last week before my deadline finishing my proofing and editing of the manuscript, I’m also putting together the “back matter” of the book. In this instance that [...]
I’m doing a final proofing and editing of my Suddenly Frugal book, and yesterday I focused on my chapter about grocery shopping. Some of my advice included not going shopping hungry or with you kids in tow. Because if you do either of these things, I’ll bet that you’ll end up buying much more than [...]
Last summer I wrote a blog posting about how I was cutting my landline–that is, the second line in our home that I used for my business. My reasoning was simple: I tended to use my cell phone primarily for business calls, because I always had it with me and because I’d programmed the voice [...]

So I’m working on this story for BabyCenter that’s all about hidden money savers that most people probably haven’t heard of. This story was the reason I’d posted that Freecycle survey last week. Turns out that 60% of those who had taken the survey either had heard of Freecycle but never used it or didn’t [...]
Before you know it Mother’s Day is going to be here. Since it never hurts to plan ahead, I thought I’d dedicate today’s post to preparing for Mother’s Day–with some statistics throw in–in a way that won’t bust your budget. For example, a recent survey from Market Day, a food fundraising company, found that of [...]
I love the first day of spring. Winter is officially over (though we’ve had many a snowstorm in April here in the Northeast), and signs of warm weather are popping up all over. In the garden there are the blooming crocuses and daffodils, on the streets are people finally shedding their winter layer of coats, [...]
