Graphic: USA TodayUSA Today has a new article which states that it costs $130,357 per year to live the American Dream. Ouch. I thought I was living the American Dream for much less than that! The article is interesting, though anytime I read a story like this one, areas where the example budget could […]
When the thrift store stars align for a perfect deal…
Our daughter, who’s 18 years old, has spent close to a decade sleeping in this loft bed: My mom and dad bought this cool bed for her birthday one year, and I remember my mom (ever the wise grandma!) saying “Someday, you’ll get tired of climbing up there to sleep.” “No, I won’t,” our daughter […]

My $5.52 Rock & Republic jeans from Kohls
A reminder: If you shopped at Kohl’s earlier this month when the Kohl’s Cash promotion was running, the Kohl’s Cash you received during that promo expires 3/30/14. When I shopped for spring clothes during the Kohl’s sale two weeks ago, I received $20 in Kohl’s Cash. And, just as I wrote in that post, I […]
Shopping Kohl’s spring clothing collection
Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Kohl’s. I received a Kohl’s gift card to facilitate my post and as a thank you for participating. I have to admit, I don’t often shop for entire new, head-to-toe outfits. Kohl’s is one of my favorite places to bargain hunt — […]
A rant on “pleather” boots and choosing leather ones
I’m done with non-leather boots. I love boots and pretty much live in them from fall to spring. And, I’ve been wearing boots since high school, so we’re talking almost 25 years of boot love. When I was in high school and college, I remember a pair of boots lasting at least a year, sometimes […]

My “9-year” CFL light bulb lasted 13 months.
My regular readers know that I despise CFL light bulbs. I have purchased some during past deals, but I decided earlier this year that I am done buying them. In addition to the health and UV exposure risks, I have yet to have any of these bulbs last anywhere near the duration that they are […]
Do you have beverages stored in your garage? We did.
I was setting the table for dinner, and the kids asked if we could have Cokes with dinner, as it’s a special occasion. (The occasion, of course, is a several-days extension of their winter break due to school cancellations!) I said yes. They went out to the garage, where I keep my beloved sugar Cokes, […]
Reminder: 40-watt and 60-watt incandescent light bulb ban begins January 1, 2014
As the year winds down, I want to remind you that the 40-watt and 60-watt light bulb ban begins on January 1, 2014. This isn’t a ban on buying bulbs — stores can sell their remaining stock until the bulbs run out. But after the first of the year, no more standard incandescent 40w and […]
