Meet My New Boyfriend: The Palm Pre Plus!

by Mindi Cherry on March 12, 2010

If you have been around this site for any length of time, you know that I had (note:  I said “HAD”) an unhealthy addiction to my previous SmartPhone.  Honestly?  I didn’t think that anything would pull me away from that phone.  Then, I got snowed in at Nashville and spent some time with one of [...]

Aldi: Let’s Kiss and Make Up!

by Mindi Cherry on February 7, 2009

So a few months ago I posted a not-so-glowing review of Aldi.  It wasn’t pretty.  It was definitely a minority opinion (judging by the number of comments that I had to delete), but I stood by my opinion that I would only shop at Aldi for a few select items.
Today I found myself near the [...]

New Yoplait Flavors + coupon

by Mindi Cherry on February 2, 2009

You know, I get quite a few emails from people and companies asking me to review their products.  Many of them, I just won’t do because they don’t fit in with the theme of this site (seriously – as much as I would love to get the free $75 hand cream, this is a frugal site [...]

Aldi: I’m not Impressed, Part II

by Mindi Cherry on January 6, 2009

(note to any potential commenters.  I am no shrinking violet.  Don’t think that a few harsh words are going to intimidate me in to reversing my position.  All you will do is piss me off and get me all ranty on you, while also lowering my opinion of both Aldi and Aldi shoppers.  Way to [...]

Aldi: I’m Not Impressed

by Mindi Cherry on November 11, 2008

Yes – you read that right.  Despite all of the buzz on The Internets, I remained among the “Aldi Ignorant”.  The closest one to me is about 15 minutes away in a direction that I rarely travel.  But after reading yet another article singing the praises of Aldi (combined with my husband taking the day off [...]

Welcome to a new regular post I like to call “Frugal Fat Fighters”.  Friday will kick off “Frugal Fat Fighter Friday” (obviously, I like alliteration).  Please feel free to join in and grab the buttons for your own site!
Why am I starting this?  Simply put, it’s because I need to lose 20 pounds.  While 20 [...]

Some things are worth the extra money

by Mindi Cherry on September 23, 2008

I recently had an epiphany:  when it comes to my face, I have no desire to be frugal.
I mentioned before that there are very few things to which I am brand-loyal.  One of them was Purity by Philosophy.  But in the back of my mind I was thinking “Min – sometimes you are just too [...]

The Perfect Manicure for Moms

by Mindi Cherry on August 28, 2008

I love getting my nails done.  But aside from the cost ($12 with tip each week does tend to add up), there is the time factor.  Let’s face it:  with 3 kids running around I often can’t find the time to eat lunch, much less get my nails done!

So I was thrilled when I got an [...]

Oh No No No…..Just NO!

by Mindi Cherry on August 22, 2008

Here at Moms Need to Know, I haven’t talked at all about fashion.  My style tends to be very traditional….put it this way – if I wear something other than khaki, black or navy pants, it means I’m feeling bold!
But I got an email from Victoria’s Secret and there is a fashion coming back that must [...]

Have you tried Tava yet?

by Mindi Cherry on July 15, 2008

When I first started this site, I had clearly-defined goals… I was going to post great deals at grocery and drug stores, provide info on freebies and get paid billions of dollars by posting reviews of products 
The first 2 – Mission Accomplished!! (I hope)
The 3rd? – not so much! (but I guess that is what happens [...]
