My FAVORITE shopping day of the year. The day that Target marks its Christmas inventory down to 90%. This means WE pay only 10% of the retail cost.
Imagine getting 40 beautiful, high quality Christmas cards for $1.49 – instead of $14.99!

Now I know this isn’t a cooking blog, but here’s how it fits in with personal finance and frugality:

Merry, Merry Christmas!! Congratulations to Kacie over at Sense to Save who has a newborn baby boy born on Saturday the 20th!
Nearly an entire year has gone by, it’s hard to believe. I also can’t believe how fast Christmas swooped in on me. It always gets here before I know it, every single [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

I wrote about the “new” truck we purchased over the weekend. We discovered in the past few days of tracking mileage that this truck gets nearly 20mpg which is excellent.
Mr. A put 15,400 miles on his old work truck in 2008. The miles per gallon varied, depending on how fast he drove. When [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]
