There is a 30% off Border’s Coupon off one item.
Plus all Border’s Members get $5 in Border’s Bucks off to boot! Do you know what that means?
The book I wanted is the Sears Baby Book $21.99.  With the 30% off it’s $15.39 [...]

I’m a heavy credit card user, I always have been, and probably always will be.  I’ve never had a spending problem. Something interesting I’ve found about credit cards is they are great at handling disputes.
In the past month, I’ve bought some items online and found the experience to be unsatisfactory.  I immediately contacted the seller [...]

I’ve talked about being seduced by coupons sometimes when you are grocery shopping.  Coupons are put out there to induce someone to purchase food or items they necessarily wouldn’t purchase of their own volition.  Truth is, if it didn’t work, then why would coupons still be around?  Because it does induce people to buy more.

I’m not a hardcore coupon shopper, but I am quite frugal and thrifty.  And I’ve always been someone who stockpiles good deals.  Well I wanted to address how my stockpile saves me money but not like normal couponers.
I stockpile mostly non-perishables.  I started about 1 year ago really getting into and it turns out has been [...]

This week MP Dunleavy wrote about “Are you afraid to look poor?” Another interesting article. She says that keeping up with the Joneses is wanting to look rich, but afraid of looking poor is entirely different. I have to say I actually agree with her two definitions. One is rooted in pride and the other [...]
