Freaky Frugalite

Has anyone noticed that a lot of the Star Trek and Doctor Who fans are… well, to put it lightly… older people? Like, my age and up? I have a new name for those of us older tecchies — Geezer Geeks. How’s that, huh? You like? So how many of you like science and technology? [...]

I don’t know about you guys, but my experiences on some of the other popular auction and marketplace websites have been a total FAIL. I won’t name them, but one of them starts with an “e” and another ends with “list.” You just never know what you’re going to get with those places because you [...]

The iPhone is a really amazing little device. I use it everywhere! Unfortunately, so does everyone else. And we all happen to use the same few ringtones… so when we hear the phone ring with its familiar “Marimba,” “Timba,” “Strum,” or “Chime,” we all reach for our phones. Ugh. I have purchased a few new [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of dealnews for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Oh wow, I have FINALLY found the jackpot, friends. It’s dealnews. It’s a website that collects all the latest and greatest deals online and organizes them all for easy viewing. This site is amazing! It’s especially [...]

If you have been languishing with Blogger, waiting in the wings for some great deal on self-hosting to come along, I found one for you. Actually, it’s such a good sale that I’m a bit miffed. I am already on Hostgator, so I can’t take advantage of it. Anyway, YOU can. I know some of [...]

Yum! We love the Breakfast on the Go! snacks. I like the ones with dried fruit in them, and the kids like the ones with chocolate in them. These things are so perfect for traveling. They don’t weigh you down like heavier snacks and fast foods do, either. One of these little packets with a [...]

Maybe it’s in my face- that “look” that tells the street hawkers that I’m an easy one. Or maybe it’s in my demeanor, the way I walk that perhaps oozes motherly gullibility. Or maybe it’s my Upstate New York accent- we’re all hicks up here, lol. Whatever it is, I am a MAGNET for street [...]

Getting a Dell computer anytime soon? Don’t forget the Dell coupons! Always check for online coupons before clicking that “Buy Now” button. You can save a swatch of cash in so doing, believe me. And some offer free shipping, which, with a computer purchase, can save a lot of money. I usually try to keep [...]

This is a compensated post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. We FINALLY got a Walgreens in our area. I was eager to get one, since the frugal blogs are constantly aflutter about how much money they save. I’ve ordered from them online (great prices, too!) and been to [...]

Have you ever done it? The credit card swap? You transfer your existing, high-APR percentage rate balance to a new card with a lower APR? I haven’t done it very often because I haven’t had very large balances on my cards… but I’m still paying for that kitchen renovation, and the lovely introductory APR rate [...]
