Seriously giddy.
Look at what I picked up today for only $24.44:

Hey, did you see that?  I said, “ONLY $24.44!!” Oh, AND I earned a $10 Catalina for my next trip!!  Wahoooooooooo!
I’ll kinda break it down for ya:
I took advantage of the Frozen …

Back in January, I told you all about Swagbucks and shared my goal of paying for Christmas 2010 using Amazon Gift Cards earned through Swagbucks.
In February, I shared a little more about what I have learned about Swagbucks (including adding the toolbar) and I reported that I had earned $30 worth of Amazon gift Cards from my Swagbucks.
I keep learning new things about Swagbucks: some good and some bad.
Good: Did you know that if you use the Swagbucks Toolbar you will randomly earn Swagbucks? I typically have my search …

My friend dropped off her freezer this morning. I’m giddy with excitement!!  She is living in a rental and looking to buy, and she wanted to free up some space in her garage, so I get to hold onto the freezer for a while!!  The timing is just PERFECT!!
Did you know that March is National Frozen Food Month? I didn’t know this until about a week ago.  YAY!!
Now, you are well aware that we like to be weird and live on $200 a month in groceries/personal care/household items, right?  …

If you follow me on Twitter, or you are a personal friend on Facebook, then you know it has been almost 6 weeks since I first told you that I wanted to become a running machine.  I’m so excited that I am actually doing this!!  Friday marks the start of the 6th week of the Couch to 5K program (since we started on a Friday).
Let me sum up what has happened so far:

I bought new running shoes during Week 4. I went to a real running store in Salem to …

I have two boys.  They are so very precious to me.  AND, they run through their clothes like it is nobody’s business. We have now reached the stage (4T) where Cole is unable to use any of Grant’s hand-me-down pants because Grant put so many holes in his pants that they are uninhabitable.  My little animals.
However, I have found a solution!  I can patch them up!  NO, not THAT kind of patch.  Not the embarassing, darker-colored iron-on “look at the place where there once was a hole ’cause my momma’s …

I have totally been enjoying the convenience food I whipped up on my most recent freezer cooking day.  I love that I can just reach into my freezer and pull out a nutritious lunchtime meal.  Two minutes in the microwave, and I’m a happy camper!
Here is another convenience food option for you:
Last night, I made a big batch of Hearty Friendship Stew.  I love this stew because not only is it tasty, but it is really easy to make, and I can have a bunch of soup mixes ready to …

I know you have ALL been wondering if I have been shopping lately. You have been sitting at the edge of your seats just waiting for me to update my blog with a grocery score,huh?
Well, I don’t really know what happened, but the Week 4 grocery envelope emptied out really fast last week.  Oh, yeah.  I remember what happened.  I got cocky and bought a bunch of meat last week.  Hmm.  Well, I was down to my last $1.25 (not enough to buy Sunday papers, darn it!) and yet there …

I know you are all just DYING to know how I’m doing with my idea to pay for Christmas 2010 using Amazon Gift Cards earned through Swagbucks. Well, I’m happy to report that I now have $30 in gift cards saved up!  Wahoo!!
Here are the details:
Before I told you all about Swagbucks, I had accumulated about 148 SBs on my own over the course of a year or so.  I never cashed them in, because I didn’t really know how.
Then, I read a post on another blog about how you …
