Happy Budget is for everyone about how to cut back and stick to a life of less spending. It's not about excluding the things that make you happy, it's about finding or making it for less. By following the four R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and (my favorite) Read happy budget, you'll be able to find a way to save a little bit of money each month. Finally, you don't have to suffer just because the economy is!Kelsinoreply@blogger.comBlogger411100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7887656895207794576.post-71844988710085387922009-12-08T01:09:00.000-08:002009-12-08T01:12:46.917-08:00

I'm sorry about how bad I've been about updating this blog lately. Between being breaking up with my fiance, moving, my son's adjustments to a brand new life (he's finally doing better!), him getting stitches, participating in a Savvy Sale (more on this later), job searching, room mate searching, and my 19 credits at school, we have been BUSY!So I do apologize.

Bountiful Baskets is a co-op that offers fruits and vegetables on a regular basis, as well as "specials" that vary by season. We have participated a couple of times and love it. The first time, however, I goofed and bought a basket ($15 for conventional- which we did the first time but now we do the $25 organic) AND an optional $5 fruit salad basket. We received all of this: for $20 (plus an

So apparently I'm a lazy bum who watches movies & tv all day since that's what my last two posts have been. Haha! I wish! I'm the mom of a two year old who has been REALLY sick lately, so my posts have been about us being lazy/cheap. I also haven't had time to post as much as I want. Although I do have some topics I'm dying to cover!Who else has discovered "cheap theaters" (as my family likes to

I thought I would post about a major way that we've been saving money lately around the house. I don't like "sacrificing" but I definitely don't mind making adjustments to save some cash!About a year ago, we ditched Cable TV. There are a lot of shows out there that I'm slightly addicted to.

The Britax brand is a fantastic brand of carseats. I've only heard good reviews about them.... although once I have heard that they are bulky but I think that's how the majority of good car seats are. The only reason I didn't purchase one for my son was cost. We went for the Eddie Bauer brand, which is still pretty good, but we couldn't find any deals going on at the time of purchase. Hopefully

I've recently started to switch over to green & cheap cleaning supplies? sounds like an oxymoron, right!? well, i've heard that going back to the basics with cleaning is both better for the environment as well as the wallet.

For "Silly Scientists Day" today at my preschool class (that I teach), we made our own Silly Putty. The first couple of tries were disastrous.... I followed corporates' instructions on how to make it. They make lesson plans that they want me to teach, but they are normally pretty lame (come on... it's corporate, not a teacher making these lesson plans!), so I typically have to redesign the whole

Baby Food is actually a LOT easier to make than people realize. As easy as baby food is to buy, it's considerably close to being just as easy. The only cons are: you have to invest a bit of time into making the food and you want to let it "defrost" (and therefore need to plan your baby's meals out). The pros: you can save a TON of money!!! AND it's an easy way to "reuse" an every day product!
