Hello dear friends, I am still around. I am almost 6 weeks post op from surgery. I am doing much better. I am able to some of the housework, driving, kid's school, etc. I am shocked a little that it still hurts. I still have difficulty turning on my side without pain. The pain is tolerable, no tylenol needed, just bothersome. It will go away soon, I am just sure of it.
The real reason of this post is a great find......perfect for Tightwad Tuesday with my SSIC Canadagirl.
As some may have noticed from my pics on the site, I started wearing glasses last year. My oldest dd as well. Last year, our family spent $900 at the eye Dr for just my dd and myself. $120 of that was the visit and the rest eyeglasses. I had my annual check up 2 weeks ago. Of course my prescription changed. Honestly, I could not swing more for new frames........so I got my lenses changed only. On the way to get my new lenses, my current frames fell apart. They were able to fix them, but the screw they used does not fit my frames. I have been concerned about them coming apart again. BTW, my new lenses only and visit was $184. Talk about expensive. My dd has her annual visit in Dec...........so I was in a search for cheaper glasses just in case her RX changes and a back up pair for me. And that is where the tightwad tip comes in.........a friend of mine told me about a site that has complete glasses for as cheap as $8. Some are higher, but I do not think there is any over $50. That price is frames and lenses. All you have to do is plug in your script from the eye Dr. It is $4.95 shipping no matter how many you order. At that price you could get some for every color to match your wardrobe, haha. I am not that kind of gal, but 1 more pair would be sweet. So if you are in the market for eyeglasses it is a great place to order. I did check ratings of the site, they have very positive feed back. Also they were featured on a news station as a deal, not a dud. So, check it out: http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php

It is that time again.....Tightwad Tuesday with Mary. I received this email in my inbox while I was on my trip. When I opened it...I thought it would be perfect for TT. I signed up with sparkpeople.com as a suggestion for the diet. I receive emails daily with tips, recipes, etc. This past week there was recipes for under $10 a meal for a family of 4. I have not tried any of them, but some of them sound yummy. Here is the link to the site.
Be blessed,

I personally have never participated with TIghtwad Tuesday. However, I have been wanting to share these websites with you all and it fits the theme of the day. So here is my first Tightwad Tuesday post...to see others go visit our dear host Mary, our favorite Canadagirl.
I was recently listening to an audio from the Ultimate Homeschool Expo. I was listening to Crystal Paine and she told of her blog. It is great. It has deals listed on it everyday. She has lots of readers throughout the nation. The readers send her the deals through email, and she posts the best. (I am not sure how helpful this site would be for our "O Canada" girl, but maybe there is some deals on there for you as well.) The kinds of things posted are freebies you can receive and the weekly deals at CVS, Walgreens, and supermarkets. Go check out her site over at Money Saving Mom. Hope you enjoy her site.
Also, I wanted to share another site. Another great women of living simply and frugal...Leslie Valeska. (Mary has shared her info before) However her blog is so great, I had to share too. She has great ideas and ebooks to help in the journey to tightwadery.
Both of these women are homeschool moms and know where we all are...so their info is very helpful.
Be blessed,
Chasity
