Tips O’ the Day
Posted By Esscie on April 26, 2009
Maybe that’s not a good title, because it implies that I’m going to bring you tips every day. That probably won’t happen, but i do have two good tips for with you today.
First, the cashier at the gas station shared her favorite website with me today. It’s like a clearinghouse for freebies, and you can sign up to get a daily e-mail with all the new deals. If you decide to sign up I strongly suggest that you create a second e-mail address for junk mail, because you’re likely to be inundated.
Second, Erin from Five Dollar Dinners appeared on the Rachael Ray show earlier this week. She had the perfect answer to a question I’ve pondered for a while now: how many newspapers should I buy each week? I get one delivered to my house and usually pick up extras in the store. Five papers is usually my minimum, but occasionally I get bold when I know there are good coupons and buy up to a total of ten. Very often I’ve been disappointed that I “only” had five, but ten seems excessive. Erin’s rule of thumb is to buy one paper for each family member, so today I got a total of seven papers for me, the chief, and our five children. What a logical woman she is!
