You saw me pack for BlogHer and the Cheap Sally Party in this cute video, but now it’s time to talk about the party itself, which was AH-MAY-ZING. First, I met up with all of the Cheap Sally Ambassadors (see pic above) right before the party, which was long overdue and awesome! We had a quick briefing, and then it was time to party! (tough job, I know)
guest post by Judi @ Momma Muse Oh how cliché, I know.. but really, there is so much truth in this simple statement.We have always kept jars around the house to toss change into.

I’ll give you one more chance, and I’ll even tell you some other places to find those beloved coupons! The #1 place to get coupons is you Sunday paper.

I would love to share some tips with you, all of which I have learned from the best frugal mom bloggers, that I will also share with you, when the time is right! Let’s start with one simple step to saving…
My older two kids love Lunchables and I am just too cheap to buy them for school lunches. I have nothing against them and I think the convenience can’t be beat, but I refuse to pay $2 each for 2 kids for everyday. Not going to happen.
