I’ve taken an organizing class before, but I still learned some new things and I thought I’d share a few with you this summer. As promised here are some tips and thoughts on storage units. Martha recommends that you create aisles within your storage unit so that you can easily get to items {Read More}
There were a few school deals this week, so I went ahead and did the comparison sheet for you. Target and CVS had no new deals and there are very few at the office supply stores. (When you think about it, why would they drop prices when they know most people will be shopping?) Each item has it’s own row to compare prices between stores, or you can look at prices for a specific store by just looking at one {Read More}
This is the last week for the school supply price comparisons. Next week there will be few if any decent sales. Most of the sale prices this week aren’t very good prices. Remember to check your local store’s ads for other special sales. I’d love some feedback on how I can make this better to help you more when shopping for school supplies! <p>Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: <a href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/AThriftyPennySavingYouTimeAndMoney”></a><br/>Powered by FeedBurner</p>

For quite some time I’ve been wondering if a store bought pizza really is cheaper than take out. We usually pick up a $5 Hot-n-Ready pizza at Little Caesar’s, so I know that a store bought pizza wouldn’t save us much money. Most times it’s worth my sanity to just pick it up on the way home and be able to eat it right away, but I figured it was time I have a little math fun to do a {Read More}
