Let me tell you why! Whenever I need something for my violin or a gift for someone in my family who is musically inclined I always check Musician's Friend first. I find that many of the items on the site are cheaper than I can get locally, but Musician's Friend also has a low price guarantee.

I'm obsessed with the ukulele. Seriously, I really am. Can I play one, though? Absolutely not! Do I want to learn? Totally! I play the violin. I can read sheet music, and I can play a couple tunes on the guitar. Okay, the truth is I can play strum a couple chords on the guitar and pretend to know what I'm doing, but that's a start, right?

My office/craft room would probably be packed floor to ceiling with tons of crafting supplies I would never use. Hubby, he would have a massive collection of musical instruments.

We've had a lot of vehicle breakdowns over the last year, and Hubby is our resident mechanic. We save a ton of cash by buying our own parts and having him do our mechanic work versus taking our vehicles to a shop. We couldn't do this if Hubby hadn't spent a majority of his life working on cars, but http://thefreegoodz.blogspot.com/2015/05/shopping-for-mechanical-thing-for-hubby.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34420998.post-7995308673369766550Sat, 02 May 2015 05:10:00 +00002015-05-02T01:10:49.411-04:00Our friends over at Brainfoggles.com have been running some awesome giveaways lately, so we thought you might want a chance to enter, too!

I haven't been posting because the cable bill was one of the first big expenses that had to go. I held onto my cable internet for as long as I could, but eventually I had to ditch that, too.

With a price like $63 I think I can live with that without trying to use coupons to shop online.
