1- My town voted to start paying for our residents to use the neighboring town's library again. So I no longer have to pay $25/year! 2- One of Abby's sippy cups cracked and was leaking. I wrote to the company and they sent me two $7.99 off coupons so I could replace her cup, and get more, for free! 3- My kitchen trash can broke. We were given a Walmart gift card so I was excited to get a higher quality, nicer looking trash can....without the gift card there was no way I was spending $50 on … [Read more...]
DIY Homemade Chocolate Syrup
As part of my effort to make much of what we eat and use myself and as part of our healthier eating habits (you can read my latest update on that here), I have been making chocolate syrup from scratch. It's actually quite easy. I purchased a clear squeeze bottle for cheap at Walmart so I could see how much syrup is left but you could use any container you would like to store your syrup. I often only do half a recipe. {photo credit: shutterbean via photopin cc} DIY Chocolate … [Read more...]
Stockpiling: Choose One
{source} {via} If you are like me, you might be a tad bit obsessed with watching the TV show, Extreme Couponing. While a good portion of the show is staged and it has caused some stricter coupon rules, it is still fun to see some of the stockpiles. Some are way over the top and selfish.

The one thing that … [Read more...]
Stockpile Storage in a Small House
I live in a small house. I constantly feel cramped. It doesn't help that is also a fixer-upper split level ranch. So much of our house is living space not storage space, it makes the house feel smaller. The fixer-upper part just makes any house feel smaller. However, I have managed to have a decent stockpile in the space I have. Not anything like you would see on that extreme couponing show, but decent for what we need. First, I have the tops of my kitchen cabinets. It isn't ideal as I … [Read more...]
Ways I Saved in June
Happy 4th of July to my American readers. While I am off at a lumberjack competition followed by a cookout, here are some ways that we saved in June.

Saving On Printer Ink
With free printables and coupons and any number of other things, it seems that I go through printer ink like it's water. I am constantly printing something. All that printing can be expensive as you are using up so much ink. Over the years, I have found a few tricks to save money on printer ink. Print in fast draft For most things, fast draft is just fine. I have my printer set up so that is the default mode. On occasion, I will have a coupon that has a hard time being scanned but the … [Read more...]
