Between gifts, baking, meals and visitors, you can spend a fortune this time of year.

This week was not a good week for grocery shopping, for me that is. I take all the blame, I should have known better!

It amazes me the lengths people go and how much they will spend now on Halloween.

When I shop, I have some basic rules I follow. Believe me, some of them can save you money!

Today's post is going to be quick and easy - a list of a couple good web sites with multiple coupons for some name brands. Use them (preferably in conjunction with sales) and enjoy!

Today we're going to talk about how we make up our grocery list. Most of us do it one of two ways. This week, I changed my strategy.

This is for all you people who are 49 ... again. I admit it, I turned 50 this year. When I got the application in the mail for AARP, my husband laughed and laughed. Now I'm laughing, when I get discounts and he doesn't!

We all know - time is money. So, any way to save some time is a good thing. Here's something I do to save a little time during the week.

In the "olden days" the only place to get coupons were newspapers and magazines. Yes children, there was a time when there was no internet - you had to use scissors!! Now, you can use the internet, little gadgets on the shelves at the store, and offers you receive in the mail to name a few.

Let's talk about money. No, I'm not going to talk about investing, 401ks, the stock market... I want to talk about day-to-day ways to save money, trim the fat, pinch a few pennies.
