My First Week’s CVS Adventure – Week of February 28th

Well, I’m starting my CVS deals adventures this week. I began with a quick trip to scope out the store and make sure my CVS Extra Care Card was still working okay. While I was there, I bought a tag to put on my reusable grocery bag. That tag lets me save $1 every 4th [...]

I Finally Have a CVS!

There was a CVS about 45 minutes from my house. I longed to be able to rake in all the awesome deals, but it was just so far. Then, several months ago, I saw a building going up with a distinctive layout just across the bridge. Could it be? Possibly? Yes! A CVS only 15 [...]

Do You Have an Emergency Power Source?

All the lights go out and the kids start crying. Where are the candles? Oops. No matches. No lighter. Wasn’t there a flashlight somewhere? Oh, rats. You left it in the basement. Well, you’re not going to hunt for it down there in the dark. Last time you were down there, you saw a spider [...]

Can We Do More to Help Haiti?

New reports are coming out of Haiti. Reports of hunger, hopelessness, violence against women…It is heartbreaking to think that Haitians are fighting over things like sanitary napkins and don’t have a place to sleep at night where they’ll be safe. I know that there are, as hard as it is to believe, people in our [...]

Lessons from Kit Kittredge

I sat down with some little friends to watch Kit Kittredge – an American Girl the other day and found more than a good movie. This movie is set in the Great Depression and has some great lessons for those of us who are struggling financially today or those of us who just want to [...]

The Best of Simply Thrifty

I was sorting through things the other day, came across some old contracts and realized that I have permission to republish my blog posts from the old Simply Thrifty site after sixty days. Hmm. Since it has been a year, I guess the time has come. Over the next few days, I’ll be publishing the [...]

Tracfone Bonus Codes

I love Tracfone. Instead of bills running as much as $100 a month, I just buy a minute card when I need it and spend more like $100 a year! (Of course, I don’t consider cell phones to be for anyone’s convenience but my own, which means I don’t use a lot of minutes. Don’t [...]

I’m a The View Brand Ambassador!

I love watching The View. It is a great way to see differing opinions on the news and issues that come up each week and I know that between everyone, I end up with a pretty unbiased report of the current events and celebrity happenings. It is like The Daily Show for women. So, I [...]

Target Razors Deal

There is an awesome razor deal going on at Target this week (Feb 14th -20th). You can buy two Gillette Fusion Power razors for $6.99 each and Target will give you a $5 gift card. Two razors for $9? Not bad, but nothing to get excited about, right? Ah, but then there’s the coupon from [...]

Lehman’s Catalog Makes Me Drool

I need a huge gift certificate to Lehman’s catalog, which I just got in the mail. It is filled with awesome stuff, like an old fashioned hand washer. I realize I’d absolutely hate having to use one all the time, but think of being able to wash your clothes when the power is out for [...]
