They have inexhaustable lists of free samples via mail, online free stuff, free trial offers, and such. They also list places on the Internet to find free music, software [...]

Hurry! Software Deals and Clearances
November 22, 2010
Frugal fans, this is the perfect time to get new software. As with the car dealerships, software vendors are eager to get rid of this year’s models in anticipation of next year’s stuff. I never buy new, “next year” software, (just like I never buy new, “next year” cars), because usually the upgrade to the [...]
Cold Feet/Warm Feet
November 13, 2010
Do you realize that I STILL have my summer clothes in my dresser? I get later and later every year… I used to be so organized; every early September, the kids and I would make the switch– we’d haul out the dozens of boxes full of sweaters and pants, and pack up the tank tops [...]
Babies Cost the Big Bucks?
November 8, 2010
Well, teenagers do, too… the amount of money I spend on teens for their food equals the amount of money I spent on diapers and baby gear, I think…. No matter how you look at it, Having kids costs money. However, it’s worth it all. :D Yet I do take issue (haha, get it? issue [...]
Saving the Big Bucks
November 6, 2010
Macys.com has office furniture! I had no idea! I’ve been keeping my eyes open for a nice desk unit–something for the home office here– and have been very unsatisfied with the particle board junk from China (for outrageous prices, too!).

Win an iPad!
October 9, 2010
I have seen the iPad, and WOWSA it’s a sweet piece of technology. When I took the train a few months ago, the guy next to me had one. It was so difficult not to stare, lol! But they are $500, can you believe it?! That’s way too much for a “fun” gadget. So I’ve [...]
Best Price on Core i5 Processors
October 2, 2010
I’m STILL on the prowl for an updated computer. My current one is still working pretty well, although the graphics card is starting to act up. I use my computer almost 24/7 because I work at home. My needs are pretty steep– I need a hefty processor, lots of RAM, and a very good graphics [...]

I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
