Blog Post: Making Meals Out of Deals

My fellow Chicagolander, Annie of Chi-Annie: at the Table, has a posting that you'll want to check out HERE, especially if you from the Chicagoland area! She's written up how to make meals out of this week's deals and has meals for a family of 4 at around $40 for the week.

Great posting, Annie! I'll keep coming back for more ideas!

What Can You Freeze?

A Thrifty Mom has a posting HERE with some things that are good (and not good) to freeze. Her readers also have several of their tips/nightmares shared. So for those of you wondering the same thing...what can you freeze?...you'll want to check out the posting HERE.

I just found out recently that cheese is a good one to freeze. I'm not sure why I didn't think of it sooner. But I was glad to find out about it for the 7 bags of cheese for $1 Jewel deal awhile back. I am still using cheese from that one!

UPDATE: A another link for you to check into HERE from Deal Fanatic! Thanks for sharing!

Another Great Article: Frugality and Binge Buying

I saw the title from Simple Dollar in my sidebar and I had to check it out. Come on, "Frugality and Binge Buying"...what could that be about?

If you are curious, too, check it out here.

It's one of those articles that makes you stop and analyze your actions a little.

Great Article to Take Two Minutes to Read

MoneySavingMom has a guest posting today that is well worth taking the two minutes to read. How easily we can focus on the "today you saved" on our receipts and not on whether we truly needed the items enough to account for the difference we spent on them.

My favorite comment in the article is, Being frugal, shouldn't be about how much you save, it should be about how little you spend.

How about that for a future mantra?
