Kindness in Helping Others

Typically I like to write about the various ways I know, learn, or otherwise obtain when it comes to saving money.  Today, I'm in a little different mood.  I know that at this point in time, there are not many readers of this blog, but those who do, will mostly likely talk about this with others, and hopefully we will see some good results.  It has come to my attention that there is a family among us thrifty folks who needs our help.  The father is working, but not making enough, the mother was diagnosed as an adult with Autism, but she has incredible skills, so don't underestimate her at all.  They have 4 beautiful children, and right now any and all help would be extremely appreciated.  For the boys, clothing size 2T, 3T, 4T and 8, and for the girl, clothing size 6.  Larger sizes are ok too. For the house, they are in need of a dining table and a microwave.  If you are unable to help with anything listed above, but would like to make a monetary donation, please contact me here. 

Technical Issues with the blog and Facebook

For some reason unknown to me, my blog posts do not show up on Facebook anymore, at all.  I am trying to figure this out, but will gladly re post anything written here on the Facebook page, in case there are those who do not venture to this page, but who still want to read my ramblings. 

Coupon preview for 8 Jan 2012

As I am but only one person, I am limited in what I am able to do.  I have, however, found a list of what coupons to expect in this Sunday's paper.  Click here to view this list.  I cannot guarantee that we will see all of these coupons, but I am hoping so.

New Year, New Resolutions

Well, I will admit that I did slack off for a bit during the holidays as far as blogging, and working to help my readers find new ways to save money.  The holidays are never an easy time, and this year was no exception. I will admit it, it was easier than last year in some aspects, but having very little income makes you re-evaluate how you do things.  To me, food and clean clothes are way more important than toys.  So this year we did without toys, and instead got books and educational/interactive toys and a few clothes. 
Now that the holidays are over, I am back at getting my weekly dose of 2 newspapers, plus whatever coupons get passed my way.  I am excited to get back into couponing, and look forward to *hopefully* being able to save money like the more experienced couponers do.  We will have to see.
