Weekend Update...........

I have come to the conclusion that I get very little computer time when DH is on vacation. I have been very busy trying to decorate the house and Christmas shop. Today we have a birthday party for our 2 year old nephew. I will be happy when the kids go back to school and DH goes back to work so that things get back to normal around here.

I want to let everyone know I will be posting Cyber Monday deals early tomorrow morning. Come here for your on line shopping info!!

We stopped at Lowe's this morning and saw they have all their Christmas items marked 25% off already. If you need lights or decorations, Lowe's may be your place!!

Reminder......

Don't forget to catch Oprah today to see her favorite holiday gifts. I have heard she will have more affordable gifts this year. In past years she had many items that the average person would not give as a gift. With viewers suggestions and a poor economy, she is rumored to have made things more affordable!

Update: Oprah is giving away a free downloadable Christmas album. Even the cover is able to be downloaded. This would make an excellent frugal Christmas gift! Go quick... it will not last long!!

Nickelodeon Contest.....

Nickelodeon, the company that brings your kids Nick, Nick Jr., and Noggin, is sponsoring a Holiday Money-Saving Tip contest. They’re enlisting Walmart’s Eleven Moms to run the contest, so you can enter right here at Being Frugal.net (as well as on the other Eleven Moms blogs) The prize? A $500 Walmart gift card!

My tip........

It is the thought that counts... not the price!

A $5 well thought out, meaningful gift that suits the person perfectly, is much more appreciated than a $20 or $50 spur of the moment, cross their name off the list type gift.

Example..........

Grandma loves coffee and donuts so you get her a $5 gift card to her favorite coffee shop instead of another "Grandma Loves Her Grandkids" sweatshirt.

Go here... Share Your Best Money-Saving Holiday Tip for a Chance to Win a $500 Walmart Gift Card, Courtesy of Nickelodeon! beingfrugal... to see other people's tips and to enter the contest too.

Works for me Wednesday...........

I needed a picture for our newly remodeled bathroom. I really wanted this.... Solitude by David Lorenz Winston or this..... Framed COUNTRY PANEL 3 Warren Kimble Picture Print. BUT... really did not want to spend the extra money at Christmas time. So, as I was looking through a magazine, I found a picture I liked. I then dug out an old picture frame. This is what I now have hanging in the bathroom.

This works for me until next spring when I can afford what I really want!

Christmas Shopping Report.....

As soon as both kids were off to school this morning, DH and I headed out to shop.

The first place we headed was The Gap. I had $110 in gift cards from www.mypoints.com. I got a bag full of stuff here for $13 out of pocket. Made clicking on all those emails all year long well worth it!

Next we headed back to Limited Too. They found such a great sale on Saturday with my MIL, that I decided to head back. I have a niece that will love their stuff. I got $134.00 in clothing for $55 out of pocket... plus $40 in too bucks to use later! I used their B1G1F sale plus a 30% off coupon to get these deals. This is the best Limited Too sale I have ever seen but... they put a flyer in my bag that says biggest sale ever on Black Friday. Are they giving it away?

DH and I went to lunch at Olive Garden. We had a $10 gift card and a $5 coupon. We had a great lunch for $12 plus tip.

Next was Target where I used this coupon... http://www.goodycomfort.com/res/pdf/ouchless_coupon.pdf to get hair stuff for my DD for .19 cents!

Yes, we did by a whole lot more but these were the best deals I found. We then headed home to a quiet night with the kids and settled down with popcorn and this show... A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (Remastered Deluxe Edition) on tv.

What deals have you found so far?

Tackle it Tuesday.......

Well, another week goes bywith the wrap around porch project. It started like this......

... then we got this....

.... and then we had even more progress......

.... the start of a new roof......

.... and a new roof!!!!!!

.....but then we got this.......

................. and the project stalled since you can not put shingles on a roof with a half inch of snow on top of it. We will have just a little more work and then have to stop until spring. The main part is finished. It just needs all the finishing touches now.

Frugal or Home Made Christmas Gifts.....

I always try to do a few home made items each year. This year more people need to take this route so I thought I would share some ideas.

Kids.......
- home made bean bags - there are so many things to do with these!

- sew, knit or crochet a doll blanket for any little girl. Very little knowledge or sewing, knitting or crochet is needed for this.

- home made play dough Home Made Playdough Recipes

- home made candy

- make a scarf. This can be as simple as a piece of fleece or do a simple knit or crochet stitch.


Adults.....
- I like to get a gift card to a local business. You can get as little as $5 to a local coffee shop. This is my favorite teacher gift! Add this to a home made card from your child and the teacher will smile!

- a plant. Get a pot at a local thrift store and snip part of your plant off to make a new plant in your "new" pot

- home made stationary, note cards or recipe cards. With some inexpensive paper and a rubber stamp you can make a nice little gift!

- make a CD of the person's favorite music! Borrow CD's from the library for this.

- knit or crochet a scarf or dish cloth.

- home made snacks. So many times I see the cute little metal tins very cheap at thrift stores. These are great to fill with home made snacks such as chocolate covered pretzels, home made fudge, spiced pretzels or nuts you made from scratch or even some jerky. Everyone does cookies so I try to stay away from that.

- jar recipes. This is an oldie but a goodie and there are so many recipes for these! Look here... Mary Mae's Jars and Mixes

-cinnamon ornaments - Cinnamon Dough Ornaments - Kaboose.com - these smell SO GOOD!

- home made fire baskets. I was at a big sporting goods store and saw these pretty baskets filled with pine cones and birch wood selling for $35. I thought these are so simple to make ... why would anyone buy them? Melt some way over nice big pine cones that you found in the woods some where, add some nice looking pieces of wood and stick them in a thrift basket with a bow. Just look at these and use your imagination.....

Monday.....

I have been busy gathering my coupons and gift cards for a big day of Christmas shopping tomorrow with DH while the kids are at school. There are a few things I want to buy that I have been checking the Black Friday sales for. I need to decide if I want to buy them now or fight the crowds on Friday. Will the deals be worth the struggle? I have been looking over the Black Friday ads here..... TheBlackFriday.com - Official Black Friday 2008 Site for Black Friday Ads, bf ads & Black Friday Deals, Thanksgiving Sale, Th.... I will still send DH out early on Thanksgiving to get a paper so we can check out all the sales.

Christmas Shopping Deals.....

We were out Christmas shopping today. We found some excellent deals!

Limited Too.... Has buy 1 Get 1 Free on everything in the store! Plus... we had a 30% off coupon that was good off the total purchase! Our bill was $276. After the B1G1F discounts and the 30% off coupon, we paid $103. We also got $80 in Too bucks to use at a later date. I felt like we stole a few items from them! The sales girl said they are really struggling because of low sales and doing what they can to bring in customers. I really do not see how they are making much money at these prices! These sales made everything 80% off!!


As much as I hate Toys R Us, I love a good deal more! They have wii games on sale buy 1 get $20 off a 2nd one. That is the best deal I ahve seen on wii games! Good on line too!!!

Here are some new hot wii games that are available also from Amazon......

Celebrity Collage by MyHeritage

Well, Debbie at Suburb Sanity did this celebrity look alike thing. Hers were so funny that I almost peed in my pants. I decided to play along. While I am very upset to be matched closest with Roseanne, I at least matched with all women... unlike Debbie!

I already knew I was a dead ringer for Paris Hilton. I just wish I had a few hotels!!

Ok... I went back to do another one. They first photo I tried would not load so I tried yet another. I swear Debbie did something to it because this time this is what I got......



.... all MEN!!!!

BUT... at least Tom Cruise! No, not just any Tom Cruise picture... the one with the beard! What is up with that?

Wait..... I think I figured it out. This 2nd picture was on the beach with no makeup. Apparently, I look like a bearded Tom Cruise with no make up but like Paris Hilton with makeup.

Damn if I am ever leaving this house without make up again!!!

....and this is it this morning. The bathroom had to be put on hold for a week so DH could clear the front of the house for the contractor to start a wrap around porch for us today. 2 home improvement tackles at one time is enough to put me over the edge.
