GIVEAWAY- 2 of the new "Be Thrifty" Books

I won these handmade decorated frames in a giveaway from The Single Nester.



She was celebrating her blog reaching 100 followers. Aren't they great! If you havn't checked her blog out be sure to do so. She blogs about crafts, life, dating, shares the love of the the color turquoise and keeps it real.

Now it's my turn to host a giveaway. I was recently asked to review the book "Be Thrifty-How To Live Better With Less" by Pia Catton and Califia Suntree and to host a giveaway for 2 of my readers to win this great book. Yep you read that right.... TWO LUCKY READERS will win this fabulous book.



BE THRIFTY isn’t about being cheap—it's about being smart and self-sufficient. Drawing on the work of experts in every field, it shows how to cut your food bills, cut your credit card debt—cut your own hair. Financial writers explain how to create a budget, and the thriftiest ways to invest in the market. Professional chefs give step-by-step advice for shopping for the cheapest, tastiest ingredients—and offer recipes that put those ingredients to good use, from homemade Chinese "take-out" to the frugal barbecue. There are also tips for building a budget music collection, setting up a “no fail” vegetable garden, how to sell your home without a realtor; the basics of negotiating a killer deal on a car and much more.

Mom I'm Bored: Tips to Keep kids Busy on a Budget

With children being out of school for the summer, how many of you have heard "Mom, I'm bored?"

Here is my ideas for some frugal summer activities.

Check your local bowling centers. They are usually slow during the summer and they run free bowling for kids all the time. I don't understand it, bowling at the air conditioned center during the hottest part of summer is my kind of fun! Why are they not full? lol

Find out about area museums, art shows, marine centers, zoos, water slides. Your library may have a calendar of events for these as well as your local newspapers. They will run specials, sometimes even free events. Keep your eye out for coupons!

The 2010 entertainment book should be on deep discount in your area now. It may have some FREE passes for things in it.

Home Depot and Lowes has workshops for kids. Lowes is free, I'm not sure about Home Depot. Lakeshore Learning has free arts/crafts activities also. They are usually on Saturdays.

Most parks and rec have a free outdoor movie night once a month as well as their free concerts.

Kids love crafts! Check out PBS Kids and Thrifty Fun for great thrifty craft projects to do with the kiddos at home.

Jo-Anns Fabrics has a new Kids Camp. 11 classes, 12 projects to . The fee (most are $35) isn't real frugal, BUT they are having 50% off sign ups on July 10th, 1-3pm. There are projects for boys & girls, ages 5 & up.

How do you keep your kids busy during the summer?

Product Review: Power Tools for Women=Black & Decker 18v Outdoor Tools

Power Tools for Women=Black & Decker 18v Outdoor Tools!

We've owned a Black & Decker 18v rechargeable battery operated drill for several years. I love it. I think I probably use it around the house for repairs, crafting etc. more than hubby does.

So when my Ryobi rechargeable weed eater/trimmer battery died and needed replaced, it only made sense to check into Black & Decker's line. That way all the batteries are interchangeable (as long as they are 18 volt).

I'm the one who does most of the weedeating/trimming here on our 5 acres. I wanted something fairly light, easy to replace the line, no extension cords to drag every where, and no start cord yanking or gas/oil mixing!

At Home Depot I chose the Black & Decker Cordless Grasshog Trimmer/Edger and I love it!



Hubby was very skeptical, but it was what I wanted, and it was Mother's Day. We also seen a chainsaw to go along with this 18v line and hubby said he thought it looked pretty neat and wouldn't mind having one of those.

The trimmer came with two interchangeabl 18V batteries. The instant start trigger means no more frustrating pull cords! With it being a Two-Tools-in-One it easily converts to edger to cut along sidewalks and driveways. It's lightweight, balanced, has an adjustable handle and telescoping shaft making it so versatile and comfortable to use.

The Automatic Feed Spool® System advances the cutting line as needed - no need to stop and bump. No more frustrating re-winding line.

Have I mentioned I love this trimmer?

So now I'm all caught up (well almost) on the trimming around the 5 acres. Last week when the storms blew through our area, it broke and blew over one of our bradford pear trees. It laid there all week because my hubby is working about 80-90 hours right now. I kept telling myself if I had a small enough chainsaw, boy wonder and I could get it chopped up for hubby.

Being so happy with my Black & Decker trimmer, I decided to try the Black & Decker 18v Chainsaw.



OMG! Talk about making some easy work of a big job! I had the tree cut up into manageable pieces within 30 minutes and fell in love with this little saw. The saw is so easy and fun to use.

There is no gas/oil mixing, no electrical cords to deal with, and most importantly no start cord to yank on. I HATE YANKING ON START CORDS! I've always been intimidated by chainsaws, but not any more!

Hubby gave me a two minute training on how to use it correctly and safety. Then boy wonder (my 12 year old son) wanted to try it. I gave him the same safety precautions, showed him how to use it correctly and he had no problem using it either.

I also trimmed up the remaining 5 trees and today I think I will cut what's remaining of the 6th one down!

Now that the 5 good trees are trimmed up properly, hubby can get under them when mowing and that means LESS WEEDEATING/TRIMMING for me. Do you see how that worked out ladies? lol

Next on my wish list is the garden cultivator. I'm wondering how well I would love it!

Garden Update

Garden June 1, 2010



June 21, 2010 What a difference 3 weeks makes!


The tomatoes have outgrown their cages.


The cucumbers are blooming!


The potatoes are growing like weeds. Never grown Yukon golds before, so if anyone has any suggestions, be sure to let me know!


It won't be long before we have some green beans cooking down in the crockpot. I'm also going to try grilling grean beans this year. Last year we tried them fried and they were delish!


In the back there is the pepper bed. They are blooming and have baby peppers. They are jalapeno and one other HOT pepper, it's name escapes me at the moment. We need to replinish the freezer stock for when we smoke cabbage. YUM!


The okra is coming along nicely. It will need to grow 2-3 more feet before it starts putting on blooms.


I planted zuccini and cantaloupe in the same bed. Don't know what I was thinking... I hope they don't cross polinate. The zuccini plant is absolutely huge and full of blooms, both male and female. It won't be long before we'll be picking.

The cantaloupe was sooooooo tiny when hubby bought it. I really didn't think it would make it, but look at it go now. It has a couple runners that have "run" out of their bed. It looks as if it's running towards the cucumbers! lol



And look at this beauty! It won't be long before I can pick. That's my trusty Early girls for you. They have never failed me. Those and Celebrity are my fav's. I couldn't find any celebrities that looked decent this year, so we planted Early girls and the hubby wanted some beefsteaks. Beefsteaks have never done that well for me before. We will see how they do in this type of garden this year.

Let me know what you are harvesting from your garden!

I'm still alive....

School's out and I'm trying to adjust to having kiddo home with me. The real trick is to figure out how to keep a 12 year old boy occupied and interested in anything. lol

He keeps telling me "It's my summer break, I don't want to do anything!" Makes it hard when I have a lot of deals to chase!

But I was able to get him to go with me a few times.

He was amazed when we went to Walmart yesterday and the cashier told me my total was $77.59. I handed her my 43 coupons and after what seemed like foreva! She announced my total was $23.80. That's approximately a 70% savings! Here's what we "stole". lol



1 20 oz Pepsi to cool down the kiddo (not pictured)
1 case of Mt Dew (so I can face the world in the mornings haha)
19 16 oz bags of Purina Kitten Chow... ALL FREE (used coupons!)
48 cans of Mighty Dog dog food... of which 24 were FREE (used coupons!)

The mean assistant manager seen me with all my pet food and came over and watched the cashier ring up every single can and bag individually, and then enter each coupon (all 43 of them). I just kept smiling and talking to the cashier and we both ignored him. My son was hiding somewhere because he doesn't like it when I have confrontations with this man. Today the only thing he said was "Have a nice day" after the cashier and I was done. lol

Teddy, Suzie, P-nut, Lilly, Pam, Baby & Elvis wanted me to tell Shelly M., Lillie G. and all my other coupon buddies thank you for the pet food coupons. They really appreciate you sharing with them.
