First Post!

I have been doing so many things to save and rather than continue to add them to my personal blog, I thought it best to just keep one that I could maintain that would include savings, freebies, fun ideas - whatever it is that I find myself thinking about way too much!

First things first, I have to let everyone know about the things on the sidebars! Take advantage of the things on the side. These are all sites I have used and either saved or MADE money with. Create a new email account that you will only use for these kinds of things so that they don't overwhelm your personal account. Yahoo let's you create endless accounts. I have a couple at Gmail as well. Honestly it doesn't matter that much. But, if you are looking for ways to save and simplify - here it is!

Secondly, have fun! This money-saving thing I have learned is a bit of a daunting task! It can OVERWHELM your time. But, I'm still learning too - so come learn with me too! You may find information in here repeated for earlier posts from my personal blog. I'm sorry - but as a point of reference, it's not bad to have things repeated right?

So, I will probably stick with store information deals that are around me. But, I may also include other people's blogs out there that I have found who shop at a variety of other places. Also, LEAVE COMMENTS!! If you have ideas - thoughts - etc - give them up! Share!!

Also on the sidebars will be links to places to get coupons and money saving blogs that are much better at this than I am. So, check them out if you like. But again - don't let this thing eat you alive!

I wanted to share with you an article about ways to save/take down debt that I thought was so good. It makes it a piece-meal deal rather than something that is much to overwhelming.

I'll try to figure out how to keep a running tally on my progress for snowflakes and saving money. It's motivator, so start your own markers so you can see how far you've come!
