Moms Need To Know

Dear Mr. Identity Thief:
I hate you.  I hate you with a white hot passion that is usually only reserved for brussel sprouts.
You weren’t happy with just hitting me last month?  You had to do it again?  And dude?  A membership to a stock photo website?  How much of a geek ARE you?  At least if [...]

I run hot and cold on Christmas.  One day I am walking around humming “Joy To The World” and the next I’m yelling “THE KID IS A SCAM ARTIST!” when I hear that Christmas Shoes song (my friend and I agree that he probably sold those shoes on eBay because Daddy wouldn’t buy him any [...]

I’m so glad that so many of you find this weekly feature helpful!  Thanks for your emails and comments.  I just hope that you end up getting the good coupons listed in Taylortown, because the Philadelphia area has been getting the short end of the stick when it comes to coupons lately.

Well, not really - but some people sure want you to think that, don’t they?
A while ago, I wrote this post about the inner conflict that many women may have as a result of using coupons.  That post was written shortly after I hit the Delete button on yet another comment that all but accused me [...]

This is one week you do NOT want to forget to pick up a newspaper!  As a reminder, when I list how many papers I am buying, I take in to consideration that I buy it at the dollar store so I am only paying $1/copy (as opposed to the regular price of $1.75).  If [...]
