Dec. 15, 2008~ Tightwad Tuesday ~
Hello!!! I hope you all had a great weekend! Ours was good. On Saturday, we took Little One to see Santa, but PC didn't want to go. He was afraid a friend might see him! lol!!! So we picked up PC afterward and took him out to dinner and boy were the children wild!!! I guess they are getting Christmas-itis.
Tightwad tip: use your leftovers!!! On Thanksgiving, we had dinner with Hubby's brother, wife and kid's house. After the dinner, his wife was going to through what was left of the turkey in the garbage. We could see that there was still meat on it. Luckily, Hubby spoke up and saved the bird. lol!!! So, we took it home and we got like 3 meals off of it. First, we had just a turkey dinner, then we had at least 2 servings of cream of turkey with it. And we still have 3 cups of broth from it in the freezer. A week ago, Hubby tried to pick up a cooked chicken from a local store but they were out of them. Because it was before 7:00, the store gave him a coupon for a free cooked chicken which was redeemed yesterday. First we ate a meal of chicken (with a few side dishes) and tonight we had chicken and dumplings from it and we will probably have at least one, maybe two more meals of chicken and dumplings off of this free bird. Always see if you can stretch you food out with leftovers. Even if there is just enough for one person, it's still can be saved.
Shave with (cheap) hair conditioner. I had heard of this tip, but had never tried it until I ran out of my more expensive shave gel. I think I like the hair conditioner better.
I'm always on the look out for good deals, especially for school stuff and I try to grab it when it's available. Well, one of my favorite stores is Big Lots because you can get some great deals there. I try to buy stuff at stores like this to supplement our schooling when I can so then I have more money for the things I can't find on special. Here are a couple things that I found yesterday.
I got this for $3.00!
It's a book filled with some REALLY neat nature projects. I know it's going to be a GREAT supplement to our nature studies.
I got this for $4.00!
It's a language program that teaches 35 languages!!!

I love loss leaders. They are a great way to save money if it is something you are in the market for anyways. A loss leader is a product that a store sells for a loss to get you into the store. The only catch is to be careful how much ELSE you buy. A lot of times they don't make loss leaders to easy to get to because they want you to see all the other wonderful products there are to buy. So make sure you wear blinders!!!! lol!!!
Staples had some great loss leaders this week. To see what all I got for only 65¢, check out this post at my savings blog.
