WFMW: Free Cookbook Resources

2009-11-10T23:03:00.004-05:00

Cookbooks have saved me on so many occasions when I just could not for the life of me come up with one more dinner idea! They've also helped when I was only down to a couple ingredients and needed help to put them together in a way that I could create an edible meal! So I thought since having a variety of cookbooks works for me, I would share some FREE ones I've found online and maybe they can

Veterans Day Resources

2009-11-10T16:33:00.012-05:00

Tomorrow is Veterans Day. I think that it is very important to teach our kids about the men and women who have daily sacrificed their lives in order for us to live ours. To help you with this I have gathered what I consider to be some of the greatest free internet resources available. The US Dept. of Veterans Affairs has a teachers resource guide full of activities and valuable ideas to teach

Organizing Your Coupons

2009-11-09T18:10:00.007-05:00

This week as promised, I am going to share how I am currently organizing my coupons. Organization is THE key to all of this frugal grocery shopping stuff. If you don't learn to be organized from the beginning then the chances of this becoming a success are pretty slim. I can only say this becaus when I first began couponing it wasn't that big of a deal if I wasn't organized. I only had a

Yesterday I had an amazing opportunity to join the Little Debbie crew during their stop in Detroit on the Little Debbie Share-A-Thon tour across the United States! Their mission is to share not only Little Debbie cupcakes, but lots of smiles too! Maybe you have seen the commercials?

A Super Saving Saturday Reminder

2009-11-07T09:27:00.002-05:00

Today's edition of Super Saving Saturday will be a little different than usual. First of all, I haven't gone grocery shopping in several weeks because I was blessed with $250 in Walmart giftcards which I used to stock up on some food. Also, I have a confession to make. While I have been sharing with you how I am saving dollars and sense on Mondays, the truth is I needed to hear these things

I Almost Love to Clean

2009-11-06T23:18:00.000-05:00

We spent most of the day preparing for my daughter's 16th birthday party tomorrow. I love whenever we have a birthday around here because that usually means we'll be having a birthday party. And that means we will need to really clean the house. Birthday parties are the best excuse to get your house really clean. Especially because whoever is having the party is generally very happy to help

Zoo Boo & Child Predators

2009-11-06T07:44:00.000-05:00

We decided to check out the Zoo Boo this year for Halloween. It was neat, but since we'd never done this before we didn't know that it was mostly geared towards very young kids. Still, we made the most out of it and had a nice time. One thing I was very disturbed over was the single 40ish man walking around by himself. Sure he has every right to visit the Zoo Boo. But there was just

My Miracle!

2009-11-04T22:18:00.018-05:00

Sixteen years ago today, I was one frightened sixteen year old. I had to be rushed to the hospital at 5 o'clock in the morning because the baby I was carrying decided it was time to meet the world - 2 months early! Here I was a very unprepared child myself getting ready to bring a new life into the world! I had no idea what was to come in the next several days, and neither did anyone else.

One thing that I learned that day is that having a recipe or two will help a lot in your endeavors to create a wonderful family meal. So, weather this is your first time or you are simply looking for some new ideas, be sure to get

Fraudulent Target Coupon Sites

2009-11-03T09:00:00.002-05:00

I am all for printable coupons that you find online.nbsp; I love being able to save money, and I have found that coupons are the best way for me to do that. But, I will not knowingly use or endorse a site that is carrying printable coupons that have no business doing so. I recently came across this message that made me think all those other Target coupon generators might not be completely

Coupons 101

2009-11-02T11:30:00.000-05:00

Now this is one of the most important things you'll learn when it comes to saving big at the grocery store. Coupons are your friend. Seriously though, they can save you big IF you learn how to use them properly. 1. Most stores will double your coupon. What this means is that if you have a coupon for $.50 off and your store doubles coupons up to $.50, that coupon is really going to be a

I am pretty happy to announce that we actually stuck to our menu ALL WEEK! Really not that big of a deal except for the fact that I had gotten into the bad habit of forgetting about dinner even though I had taken the time to plan out our meals. But this week, each morning I check the plan I had prepared on my blog and felt a lot less scattered. It amazes me how much something as simple as a
