  Frugal Frustrations Frugality | (1)

  This past weekend has provided some serious blogging material - we saw a foreclosure, filed our taxes, and we ran into some serious frugal frustrations. Our frugal frustrations all began earlier in the week when my wife failed to take full advantage of a certain CVS deal involving free hair care products. She didn't know that you could use coupons for buy one get one free (BOGO) items so the freeness that she had read about alluded her. She had also had a small mental error in taking advantage of the sweet Vons catalina (*snicker*) currently ...

  Why Being Lazy Lost Me $10: Mail In Your Stinking Mail-In Rebates Already! Frugality | (0)

  The other day I realized that I went out and lost me $10 by being a lazy man. I bought my wife this scrap booking software for Christmas because it was the one that she wanted, and it was on sale, and it had a mail-in rebate. I felt so proud of myself about the whole thing. I had gotten a bargain and had bought it while Santa was still visible in the night sky (not really, I bought it two days before Christmas Eve - but I really did procrastinate some for reasons outlined here). ...
