I Bid Adieu...

2010-02-09T12:45:00.000-08:00

If you are a freqent visitor to this blog you have probably noticed how the posts have diminished quite a bit in recent weeks. I tried to hang on after I started working full-time by posting on my lunch break and after my little one went to bed, but in an attempt to simplify my life, it is time to let it go.

So after much thought I have decided to put the blog on hold. I will keep up all archived posts and projects for you to peruse through, and who knows, maybe someday Miss Frugal will be back!

Thanks to all of you who left comments, gave suggestions and the like!

I will leave you with a few websites that I really like for frugal crafts, shopping, coupons etc!

$10 for $25 Worth of Homemade Greek Fare and Drinks at Kristos Eastlake
Company Information:
Kristos Eastlake
http://click.e.groupon.com/?qs=f74aa76c22e238959d4f287657914eef4abc619ac22efd3f5f575580606effbc
Locations:

Synchronizing all of your clocks and watches to the next arrival of Haley's Comet is worthy of a tasty night out. Today's Groupon rewards your planning ahead with $25 worth of edibles and drinkables from Kristos Eastlake for $10. Reward the efforts of any day with a crisp brew, sports watching, and homemade Greek bites at the Greek restaurant on Eastlake.

Kristos Eastlake exists within an aesthetic of Grecian blues and a contemporary cityscape that encourages you to enjoy televised athletics while chomping on a menu of fresh recipes. Delight your tongue with a Horitaki Greek Village salad with green peppers, red onions, tomatoes, cukes, olives, and feta with the company of a pita ($9), or feel the hand-warming powers of the grilled gyro with your choice of chicken or lamb beneath veggies and tzatziki ($11).

Big biters will enjoy the layered smorgasbord that is Yaya's Pastitsio (a Greek lasagna with beef, feta, béchamel sauce, and marinara, $13), the lemon herb chicken (with orzo and sautéed seasonal vegetables, $15), and the keftedes (beef and lamb meatballs joined by potato, lemon, mint, marinara, and feta, $8). Sweeten any meal with a draft beer before making raucous sporting catcalls that remind everyone in earshot that you love watching athletic displays of athletic performances on televisions.

Today's Groupon is not valid for happy hour, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas day, or New Year's Eve.

Macy's Pots Sale!

2010-01-28T12:57:00.001-08:00

Michelle wrote in with a head-up on a great deal! She writes:

"I am not sure of the exact day(s) of the sale, but just saw a commercial for Macy's sale. They have a Belgique 12 piece cookware set for $99. This is a really good deal. Normally they are $180 on sale. I got on of these over 10 years ago for $99 then and that was a good price then. These are the copper bottom stainless steel cookware that conduct heat really well. I still love them.I saw also that they had some kind of additional %15 discount (maybe if you use their credit card) but not sure if this applies to those.~ M"

May I also add that her children frequently use these as drum sets and they still look new!

42nd Street QFC Cheerios Deal...

Arm and Hammer Laundry Detergent $2.50 at Safeway!

2010-01-27T12:58:00.000-08:00

I love Arm and Hammer Laundry Detergent for two reasons. 1) It works really well and 2) you can get it really cheap a few times a year!

This Saturday and Sunday the large (I think 64 oz--I forget) is on sale for $2.99. That alone is a great price, but you can print two $1/2 coupons here (click on the right hand side where it says something about "savings") making them only $2.50 each!

I will spend $10 on four, and have detergent for more than half the year!

I have a high efficiency washer at my place and only use about half the recommended amount of detergent, and it works great!

2010-01-27T12:41:00.000-08:00

Just go to the bottom of the page and click where it says to get your $2 coupon. You need to enter your email address and name to get the coupon.
