KidsBowlFree.com is a must-visit site for families living on a budget who are looking for cheap activities to do with their children. The weather here has been horrible over the past week. We’ve had one rainy day after another with a few brief periods of sunshine but nothing substantial. Sure, we’ve had some great thunderstorms, but…

Review: White Park in Concord, NH
Disclosure: This is NOT a sponsored post. I wanted to share my thoughts on White Park when I visited because I try to visit different places in the area to help others from where I live. The other night we had to take my boyfriend’s daughter to a dance rehearsal for an upcoming recital she…
Homemade Ice Packs
I admit it. I’m what some refer to as a cheap bitch. That title doesn’t phase me, though. My mom and dad raised me a certain way. We never had a lot of money growing up, so they raised me to be frugal. They raised me to believe that name brand items aren’t necessary in…
Minecraft Birthday Party Decorations
A few weeks back my FSS (future stepson) celebrated his 10th birthday. We asked him what he wanted for a party and he chose a Minecraft one. That inevitably meant I had to go on a Pinterest search for Minecraft birthday party decorations. We had a limited budget to work with, so I got creative…

I set a challenge for myself today to come up with five nights worth of dinners for a family of four based on sale items in this week’s Market Basket flyer. Here’s what I came up with. (This list takes into account staples most people have in their kitchen.) Shopping List: Bumble Bee Chunk White…
Straight Talk Service Review
Disclosure: This is NOT a sponsored post. I wanted to write an honest review of a service that I tried on my own in an attempt to lower my phone bill. Several months back I switched to Straight Talk from T-Mobile because I was tired of a high monthly payment. I pay $45 a month…
My Two New Tops
I love clothes! I love having items to wear that make me feel pretty without looking slutty. Unfortunately for me, that line is easily crossed because I have a huge chest and not because of my own choosing. I can blame genetics for what I’ve been blessed with. Before kids, I had a big chest….
Ways to Save Money on Electricity
Every month when my electricity bill from Central Maine Power comes in the mail, I suffer a mild heart attack. I remember the days when my grandfather would talk about his $20 a month bill and here I am getting one for $90-$120. I hate it. But what can I do to lower my bill?…
Free FRANKENWEENIE Pumpkin Stencils
Halloween is just around the corner, so that means it’s time to set some time aside to carve pumpkins with your kiddos. My kids already did theirs, but had we waited, we could have used the FRANKENWEENIE pumpkin stencils that are available for free download below. If you haven’t carved your pumpkins yet, why not…
Natural Health Products for Cheap
If you’ve spent any amount of time on my site you know that I’m in the process of changing my son’s diet to not include foods with gluten or red dye 40, and those changes also include making sure to give him all natural health products, as well, when he’s sick, like now. Too many…
