Cheap T Mobile prepay phone!

$19.99 plus $25 worth of minutes.
Great for those of you resisting cell phones (which I say is insanity, but this comes from a lady who cloth diapers joyfully, to to each their own), here is a great way to have one in the car "just in case".

Great link for ideas for DIY Christmas

I loved all these links so check it out!

HOT DEAL on Halo Sleep Sacks!

These are fantastic for babies!

www.kidswoot.com

$2.99 plus $5 shipping! Buy a handful at that price!

Black Friday is coming...

Tell me you have a small stockpile of money waiting!

Okay, here is the site I signed up for to get the Black Friday ads emailed to me as they come out:

www.blackfriday.info

I love this site.

Now, we are going to start prepping for Black Friday NOW.

Make your wish list (know that not all of it will happen though)

Make your budget list (I always make a "highest price" notation by items so I know my limit)
Get 2-3 friends together and swap lists

You are going to start taking a few minutes a day... set a limit and stick to it (like 30) and you are going to troll the deal websites you know of for these items on all 3 lists.

If you see an item on a list at the right price, call the right person and forward them the link OR (and this is what I do) order it for them with their permission and they will pay you immediately.

This will get you "trained" for Thanksgiving morning-cyber Monday. And believe me, a lot of hot deals will be coming at that time so discipline yourself (KEEP that budget! NO debt! Nothing is worth the debt!).

Okay, get ready! I LOVE this time of year!

PS. While you are at it, maybe look a few months ahead and work on birthdays and other gift giving holidays.

Refer to my Christmas article too (it is on the sidebar) even if you are just starting, you can used some of the information.

Speaking engagement tonight

I know that I've really slowed down on these and turned a lot of groups down lately and I am sorry for that. It has been a zoo here as I am involved with my PTO, organizing an international conference for next summer, teaching piano, voice and choir and I'm selling my other business (but still running it in the meantime).

I am settling into my schedule a bit and will be available to speak more often soon.

In the meantime, I took on one speaking engagement tonight in Idaho Falls. If you want info, you are welcome to email me for the details. I am covering a lot of fun frugality topics and I think it will be a hoot!

CHEAP glasses for Christmas! Run!

Okay, I just got the email about this, yay!

http://www.eyebuydirect.com/

It is buy 1 get 1 free again!

My husband and I have glasses from this site and we adore them!

You can do sunglasses too (if you are like me and would rather always wear glasses.

Anyhow, get on it!
