Watch Holiday Movies Online
During this time of year, I love to watch made for tv movies on my home television. Well, if you are trying to save money and don’t have all of the channels, or if you don’t have cable or satellite you can still watch some of these movies for free online. Many network websites have video players of full movies. You can even watch full episodes of some of your favorite show. This is a nice feature even if you do have access to the channel because you can watch the movie when you have time. Here are a few networks and the holiday movies they have on there right now. So, take some time and enjoy some movies for free on your computer.
Homemade Caramel Apples: Easy, Inexpensive, and Taste Better!
It’s Halloween time and what’s better than a Caramel Apple oozing with all that wonderful tasting caramel! I have always made caramel apples with the little squares that you just melt in your pan. Well, this year I found a recipe from Crystal that I decided to try. I had everything in my pantry except for the apples which all seemed to be on sale right now at my grocery. I also made my own sweetened condensed milk since I had those ingredients on hand too. So, this recipe was pretty cheap for my. It also taste so much better than the caramel squares! I promise you that you will never go back to those squares again! Hope you enjoy these and have a Happy Halloween!

Thrifty Thursday – Saving Money on Halloween Costumes
I had to laugh the other day when I had a friend tell me that her older son always gets to pick what he’s going to be for Halloween but her middle child gets told what he is going to be every year, depending on what costume fit him. I had to wonder how many [...]
My Love Affair with Freecycle
Think before you throw something perfectly good in the trash or head out to the local store. There is a website that may be able to clean out your attic or put a new couch in your den. I’ve used to it for furniture, craft projects, ideas and the wedding presents time forgot. It’s a free cycle of giving. Think globally, recycle locally.
Don’t Let Easter Leftovers Go to Waste
If you are like me and had a wonderful Easter dinner, your refrigerator is probably full of leftovers. There is a time limit as to how long foods can stay in the refrigerator, so you want to make sure you use these so they don’t go to waste. If you know you can’t use the food within the recommended time limit consider creating casseroles that you can freeze. That away, you can still eat it later and enjoy a night off from cooking. You can also freeze many of these foods quite well, like ham and homemade rolls. I also like to keep the ham bone; it makes a great pot of soup beans! Many people just throw this away. So, don’t let your leftovers go to waste. Store them properly and save money later by having meals ready to be put in your oven or meat ready to be put in your casserole.
Saving Money on Holiday Gifts
Christmas is a time that most people spend a lot of money or go into debt. Does it really have to be that way? I think we can have a really fun and relaxed holiday without spending a lot of money. Gifts is one area that we can really save money on. An expensive gift does not always mean the best gift. Some frugal things can be even more meaningful than an expensive gift. Here are some frugal gift ideas:
Christmas on the Cheap
Being a SAHM means less income and usually, less money for gifts for the holidays. That combined with today’s economy has sent many people looking for more “cost-conscious” gifts to give. Below are some ideas our family as implemented for this years’ gift giving.
Walmart Price Matching Could Save You Money
This year my little 3, almost 4, year old is into Dora Saves the Snow Princess stuff. So, on the top of her list is Fisher-Price Dora’s Prance & Fly Pegasus. I went looking and everywhere I looked it was around $44. I really did not want to pay that much for a doll and horse, so I went searching for a better deal. As I looked at my Black Friday ads, I spotted the Kmart ad for the week after Black Friday, the doll and horse was in there for $29.99. I decided I had to get it since the price was so good! I had a lot going on at church on the Sunday which the sale started and I was already at Walmart so I decided to go price match.
