Freaky Frugalite

Some of you guys are already talking about Christmas shopping! I agree, it’s never too early to shop, for Christmas or birthdays or whatever. Not to mention that I’m also STILL shopping for stuff for the home renovation: rugs, lighting, etc. And now that winter is on the way, the kids need clothes, shoes, school [...]

I don’t know what it is– maybe because we are nearing the holidays, or because the lazy lull of summer is over? But I am finding an explosion of websites offering freebies. “Free” just so happens to be my favorite price; how about you? The website is www.freecatcher.com. It’s well-organized. You can search for specific [...]

I’m not very fond of eBay. Everything there (well, everything that I look for) is expensive. I don’t understand why people would sell something for two times more expensive than if I just go to the store and buy it brand new. If there’s a specialty item that’s worth it, I guess that’s another matter.. [...]

I hardly EVER read the news headlines anymore. Wow, the negativity and angst is almost overwhelming. I don’t want to be a dummy and pretend that the world doesn’t exist, of course, but I don’t want to fill my head with filth and viciousness, either. (Plus, I have been SICK and TIRED of hearing every [...]

OK, Christmas and holiday shoppers… I have some goodies for you. Buy.com is really ramping up their sales lately. Look what I found! A very, very inexpensive laptop. This would be perfect for one of the young children, or for travel. It’s a Visual Land 7″ Netbook with built-in wireless. It’s a very small computer [...]

The Hubs works part time at a grocery store. On occasion, I ask him to bring home boxes. We are undergoing renovation on the house, so good, thick, boxes are desperately needed. You’d think that The Hubs would be able to grab the choiciest, choosiest, hardiest, bestest boxes, wouldn’t you? Nope. Boxes are LOUSY, people. [...]

Unless you made your millions while in your 20s, or inherited a house after leaving home, you know that apartment hunting is miserable. I don’t know anyone who likes it. All that hunting through scads of classified ads, all that phone calling, all those appointments! I hated apartment hunting. Well, thanks to the age of [...]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dollar General. All opinions are 100% mine. Good news for all you Frugal Hacks! Dollar General has their circular online for you to see. You can view their discounted products online, very very cool! I do this a lot– there are a few stores [...]

I recently reviewed the new laundry cleaning supplement, Smelly Towel. It’s a really weird name, but the stuff works! I have a house full of stinky situations: with teenagers, a dog, a couple of cats, a musty old house, etc etc, we REALLY needed this stuff. (I will have you know that I ALWAYS smell [...]

Over the summer I reviewed the product called Smelly Washer. It was a good time to try out the stuff– summers are humid here, and my 16-year old washing machine was starting to smell a little…. uh…. shall we say, “funky.” I think Smelly Washer did OK… but you had to let the washing machine [...]
