Frugal Friday: Dollar Stores, Rebates and Coupons

7:39 AM, Aug. 19, 2005

FUTURE FRUGAL FRIDAY TOPICS

 

August 26th - Frugal Friday Free-For-All

Actually, this will have to be posted on Thursday because I won't be available to post it on Friday, so send me your tips by Weds. night! I'm looking for ways you saved money this month, new frugal recipes you've discovered, online savings, ... ANYTHING that you want to share with all of us here at HSB!

Sponsor of the Week: Michelle Eichhorn of Treasure Box Press

 

September 2nd - Make-Your-Own recipes and tips

What items do you make for your family? Laundry soap? Taco seasoning mix? Do you cook a lot of food instead of buying processed canned or freezer convenience meals? How much money does this save you? How much time does it take? We want to know ways you save money by doing things YOURSELF!

Sponsor of the WeekSusan Dahlem of Dahlem's Soap Works

 

September 9th  - Buying a Car

How did you save money when you bought your last car? When it is a good deal to buy a new car? How do you know that a used car is priced fairly? What steps do you take to ensure that you are buying a quality used car? Share YOUR tips for saving money when buying a new or used car!

Sponsor of the Week: Ann Tatum of My Book of State History

 

 

You can send Kris anything on these topics: tips, comments or brief articles and even questions. I need your response for each topic by the evening of the Weds. before the dates above. In your email, PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR BLOG LINK! I will be copying and pasting this information into ONE "mega" post on Fridays. I may not be able to include every response that I get, depending upon the # of comments sent to me. I will be keeping ALL comments in a file because I may be able to use them again with a different discussion!

 

 

YOUR TIPS FOR THE WEEK!

 

 

Ok, I have to admit that I'm a little surprised that more readers haven't responded to this request for tips ... I believe there is always some other tip to share with others when it comes to saving money!  I want ALL of you reading this to take a few minutes and send me your BEST money-saving tip for me to include in next week's Frugal Friday Free-for-All .... I want this to be the BIGGEST mega-post yet! You don't have to send me pages and pages of info - a couple of sentences will suffice!

 

To read the tips for this week, head on over to Kris's Blog!
