Saving is smart!

So, if you can recall I mentioned something about going "frugal" in my previous posts. Afterall, saving a buck or ten makes momma pretty smart. 

I dig a big brain. Actually, I dig a big brain over brawn. 

Eh....maybe not but it sure sounds good.

Saving money, though....Well, it's more of a necessity right now.

I've been searching high and low for coupons, promo codes and savings sites. I took my search to twitter and received many wonderful links. I would like to thank those of you that mentioned your favorite sites. I will be sharing those with everyone a bit later.

There is a tremendous outpouring of savings/coupon sites on the web. WOW!

One of the sites that I came across is Savings.com. 

Have you heard of it?

Just about every store you can think of is listed. Stores such as Sears, Payless Shoes, Home Depot and even Wal-Mart. Click on their link and find out what sales they have going on, coupon codes and even become notified when you can get free shipping on online sales.

Free shipping is always good since I do the majority of my shopping online these days!

Do you guys use these types of sites?

Have you had any luck tracking down sales?

I want to know!

Psst...Now would be a great time to check on the Home Depot promo codes!

(Need new patio furniture?)

I'm on a quest to save money...I mean it!

Remember when I told y'all about my quest to be "frugal"?

Well, I've been pretty serious (maybe not THAT serious) about it.

We haven't been spending. (mainly because we don't have IT to spend)

I've been searching for coupons.

Hubby's been taking his lunch to work.....although he has said that when he gets some extra money he is going to hit up that chinese buffet near his new jobplace.

I've also been looking for ways to cut costs.

Is anyone familiar with BillShrink? I've been checking it out over the past few days and it's a website that is supposed to help you save money by comparing different services like cell phone plans.

For example: Are you paying way too much money for your cell phone coverage? Just answer a few questions such as How much you are currently paying, provider, how many minutes you use per month and where you use your phone. BillShrink will compare cell phone plans with your current one and find the cheapest rates for you. 

Groovy, huh?

Gas prices....Where can you get the best gas price? They can help you with that too!

Credit Cards....eek! We all have them, right? BillShrink even has a tool to help you find the lowest rate on those too. Yes, even business credit cards .

So, what do you think? Worth your time to save a buck or ten?

Going Frugal....because it's the new COOL

I'm serious about the "going frugal" part though.
Actually, I'm serious about all of it....
which is kind of weird

Anyhoo

And now that I think about it...
Maybe I'm not meant to be a nerd?
Maybe I'm just supposed to shower them with love.
Ya know?
I could totally be that chick on Can't Buy Me Love.
*fast forward to the part where she was actually nice to him though*
Yeah, she befriended that nerd Patrick Dempsey and he turned into a big deal.

I have found my purpose! 

I accept paypal. My id is the same as my email addy.
what? Isn't that how it worked in the movie?


or maybe not?
Where is that chick now?
