I saw that there is a sale on some of Dave Ramsey's products at his webstie with something like $4.95 shipping. Does anyone know if there is something similar out there for a lower price? Or have you just created your own system? Thanks!

This is my first "official" post, aside from my intro, but I thought I'd let you guys know of something my wife and I ran across a few weeks ago. First of, a little "setup"... We currently contract with Verizon and our two year contract ends in January 2012, thankfully! Currently we have one...

The Doctors show just showed an alternative to using ice or frozen vegetables as a ice pack. Pour some dish soap into a ziplock bag and freeze. Use when needed. Supposedly it stays frozen longer and molds to the shape of your body.

I'm looking to make a mousse that is dairy free. I'm considering using soy/rice/almond milk but am not sure if these have enough 'body' to give the mousse the thickness/texture factor. Would any of these milk alternatives work? Or is there another alternative not mentioned here?

If you're looking for cheap options for curtains, here is a really creative & **Cheap** idea... I love that they give the linen look but without the price tag~whew. I paid $19.98 for 2 at Lowe's over the weekend and I've been told that they randomly go on sale for $9.98 for two. I'm doing these...

I woke up this morning with a KILLER allergy headache.

Because gawl darn it I can make pie crust there is no way I'm store buying this stuff! I've been wanting for ages to just get brie and eat it, but hubby saids if we do that, it has to be special and I think brie in pastry (so not frugal!) is the way to go. If I'm buying the brie, I'm not buying...

I know Mother's Day is traditionally a day where the family waits on the mom, hand and foot. A day where the Dad takes the kids and the Mom gets some alone time. I like to do it...differently. I certainly wouldn't object to someone making me some breakfast, but I definitely don't want to...

I was reading an article in Body&Soul magazine about a really Eco friendly girl who writes a blog called "Green As A Thistle". Anyways she apparently was able to unplug her fridge and find alternative ways to keep some things fresh. I was looking in my fridge/freezer and realized the only...

Okay, I know what it is and have used it in the past, but to me it had an 'off' taste to it. I used it in both baked goods, which I couldn't taste too much, and in my tea (you could really taste it in this). My question would be, are there any differences in the taste between the 'light' (which...

Much to my dismay, my microsoft office trial expired today. I'm in mid season of sports, I use my spreadsheets and word ALL the time. There was NO way I was going spend money to by it. It's a pricey program. I found something that can read my existing files, that is an open source, and free...
