Here is the info on a class coming up next week in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Bummer that it is by “$10.00 donation” though. If you’re looking for some one on one help though and you’re in that area, I’m sure it’s worth going to. Also don’t forget tonight’s class here in Tyler. Looking forward to meeting some of you all!!

Turkey’s basket: $.89 Elmo Easter Basket bought in 2009 at 90% off. (used it last year too) $.13 Yellow Shredded Paper Grass bought in 2009 at {Read More}

Perhaps you’ve never realized just how much one small object can do for you. For a mere $1.97 I have : reduced the amount of time I have to clean up messes at {Read More}

My goal is to provide dinner for my family for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! We typically only cook a main dish 4 or 5 times a week. Each main dish cooked will serve 4-6, and the leftovers will be for easy dinners on the weekend, or to freeze for another week. This cuts down on cleaning, cooking, and meal planning- saving us lots of {Read More}
