Deals of the day sites like Woot that feature a single item for an incredibly low price really offer a significant and easy way to save some [...]

Lower gas prices – [...]
As many of you know, we recently moved to the mountains. When we lived in the city, we had two dogs: a 10 year old Golden Retriever and a Pomeranian. Both were outside dogs for the most part. Of course during the winter they spent the evenings in our garage with a heater. I am [...]

We spent [...]
We received a call from my oldest son’s football coach last week who informed us the first football practice of the season starts tonight. Tonight? Wait, it’s not even…oh wait, it is August already. Whoa, school starts in 3 weeks. That also means Christmas is only 5 months away.
How is your Christmas savings fund?
