Party girl preparations
I did a guest post on Shop It To Me, on how to prepare for a night on the town. I hope you check it out. It’s not exactly a “frugal” article, but trust me, none of my suggestions are going to break your bank. If you have any suggestions for what to bring/wear/do before [...]
Whole Foods “Health” Discounts
Whole Foods has a voluntary program giving employees bigger discounts if they have the right body mass index, cholesterol and blood pressure.

Donate to Port-au-Prince Haiti
This week’s earthquake in Haiti is bothering me. After living several years in South Florida, I have Haitian friends who are now looking for or are worried about their family in the country.
