October 6th Frugal Living Week in Review: September 29th Through October 5th How is your grocery bill these days? I have been sharing some trick and tips this past week that will allow you to save. Still, prices can be steep. Remember when chicken was cheap? Not anymore. Five Little Grocery Shopping Tricks: Hide and Seek Ooh, those clever, clever grocery stores. They have all sorts of subliminal tricks up their proverbial sleeves to make you part with as much of your money as they can. You might be surprised to learn that a lot of the shopping you do is a direct result of marketing, rather than your own well-thought-out shopping decisions. October 7th Chilly mornings and nights are starting to occur here. I had vowed to not turn on the heat for at least another week, but when I returned from taking the kids to the park, I found that my husband had given in. He was working from home and doesn't have my stubborness for saving on home heating costs. October 8th Your Reuse Ideas Could Earn $100 Reusing is a great way to be frugal and green at the same time. Here in the Frugal Living Blog and the Reuse Category in this blog, we have found many ways to reuse all sorts of things from tennis balls to sawdust. But now, one magazine is asking for your ideas, and they are willing to pay $100 for them. October 9th How to Get First Pick at Outgrown Sales This weekend, there are two very big outgrown sales near my home.

One thing, though that will be different this year, is that there will be a lot more competition for the bargains.
