If you live near a Harris Teeter grocery store, they are running a coupon promotion this week (June 24-30) that you should really take advantage of. Instead of triple coupons, they are doubling all coupons up to $1.98. So coupons for $1 off a product are now worth $2, and $1.50 off coupon will get you $3 off this week.

From now until July 2, Glidden will send you a free quart of paint in Eggshell finish. There are many colors to choose from and while it may not be enough to paint a whole room, you could definitely update some furniture or paint a door. Better yet, see if you can get some friends and family to order their free quarts in the same shade if they're not interested in a painting project.

So, I got a gi-normous gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond at CHRISTMAS, and I am still spending it!

My kids hate the crusts of bread. How does this begin?

This shopping trip was almost as awesome as the Target clearance a few weeks ago!

Is there a Band Wagon for cloth napkin users?

I am a fool for stationery! Office supplies, notebooks, journals, it all sucks me in. There is just something about all the possibility lying in a blank book that makes me feel like I could write a novel.

Clinique skin care and makeup has become a recent luxury item in my life, since my sister became a counter manager for the company at a local department store.

Okay, I have been doing the coupon clipping for quite some time now, and it seems that no matter how bad the economy gets or how expensive other products may be, the good people running Frank's Red Hot Sauce must be doing pretty well. Or maybe not keeping up with their accounting books.

Well, I am trying to make a blogging comeback, and I think I could use a makeover. Maybe something fresh and new without this hideous green text and title bars would inspire me. Bring out my inner thrifting goddess. She would rise each morning and sip her coffee, turn on her laptop, and marvelous thrifty thoughts would spew from her fingertips onto the keyboard inspiring all who read them.
