Spring and summer are my favorite times of year for cooking — or eating, at the very least! Colorful eggplant, juicy tomatoes, and bright berries from the garden are as delicious as they are nourishing. Everything tastes better fresh from the garden. And simple grilled or no-cook meals leave more time for sipping lemonade on the patio. One thing that I don’t enjoy during the summer (or anytime for that matter), is shopping for household essentials. Who wants to run […]
Spotting a Mystery Shopper Scam
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Spotting a mystery shopper scam is pretty simple… Last month I received an email asking me to apply as a mystery shopper. Having done similar things in the past, I filled out their form to apply. The form asked for name, email, phone number and address. Typical and normal things to ask for. Because I apply for a lot of different opportunities like that, and get maybe approved for 10% of them, I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email […]

All opinions are mine alone. #YourTaxCash #CollectiveBias We recently used some of our tax refund to upgrade our phones and service through Walmart Family Mobile. The Upgrade came with a free (valued at $7 same as a new release rental) monthly movie credit through VUDU so I thought it would be fun to plan a special family movie night and include the toddler since […]

But first; a quick review of the maternity benefits on 3 different cost sharing levels offered […]
Weekly Dinner Menu Ideas
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
When I “shopped my pantry” for a few weeks, one of my goals was to create weekly dinner menu ideas that I could use in a pinch. I still love my menu board but planning it out each time became a challenge and I quit doing it. Sometimes I have freezer meals from a big freezer cooking day (which reminds me, I need to do that again soon), and sometimes I have a meal in particular I wish to make […]
Monthly Shopping List for Aldi
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Our Aldi is about 15 minutes away which is really nice. However, my favorite grocery is within walking distance so Aldi, like Sam’s Club is a once a month store. Below I’m sharing my monthly shopping list for Aldi. One thing I really love about this Aldi is how they are adding organic products! We went on Tuesday for the first time in 2 months and they had added a number of new items and their baby line of products. […]

Okay ya’ll, we went 3 full weeks in the shop my pantry challenge and while hubby is running out of snacks (and I’m running out of ingredients to make them) we’ve done really well. I’ve worked on an overall plan and part one includes a monthly shopping list for Sam’s Club and Aldi. I want to visit Aldi and make sure of the pricings for stuff before I make that monthly list. In the past we’ve went to Sam’s once […]
Shop my Pantry Challenge

After balancing the checkbook and making sure everything lined up, I took a glance at our food spending for the year. Astronomical spending. I sat there in a bit of shock and decided right then and there to issue myself a shop my pantry challenge. At the end of last year I looked over our grocery spending and realized we had spent around $13 a day on food. That is less than the “thrifty plan” mentioned on the USDA costs of […]

Most of you already know I signed up as a direct sales consultant for Norwex shortly after Malachi was born. I still think I’m a little crazy here, but I’ve been having a lot of fun, doing parties and events. Small tot just comes along with me and he’s a great ice-breaker! I don’t share a lot about Norwex here, but on occasion something comes up that’s just too good to ignore! The Norwex hostess benefits are honestly some of […]

Have you ever wondered how to stay cool in the summer without constantly running the A/C? Well, I have a few tips for you! If you’ve ever been in an old house, it’s possible you noticed the tall windows and 12′ high ceilings along with doors in the front and rear of the house. There is a reason for this. The doors would be opened in the front and back allowing ample air to enter and exit the house, the […]

Surprising things Frugal People do
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
I definitely consider myself a frugalista and thrive on saving money. But there are a few surprising things frugal people do that you may not know about. Being frugal doesn’t always mean never spending money, nor does it mean keeping all your cash in envelopes. Just like we are all different in personalities, frugal people are different in ways they save. However, there is one thing all frugal people have in common. A Goal. Whether that goal is to retire early, […]
Late Night Savings Found!

Disclaimer: Late Night Savings Found is sponsored by Scott and Dollar General. Dear friends and fellow mammas in the trench, the other night we had a near disaster. You know the kind. Where it’s been a busy week (okay who am I kidding, MONTH) and somehow you messed up big time. You forgot something of vital importance and disaster is just one “sit” away. You walk into the bathroom and see this. Now, that isn’t the near disaster. Unfortunately that […]
Track Your Spending for Financial Success

Do you track your spending? Do you know why it’s important? Having used a money tracking program for years, I know first-hand why you should track your spending. At the beginning of each month I am able to clearly see what I expect to come in and what is scheduled to go out for bills. One glance shows me what I can reasonably expect to have for spending on gas, groceries and every other thing that’s necessary in caring for […]

Who likes free stuff? You? Me too! Now you can start the year right with free cleaning supplies! Yes. You heard me right. Free cleaning supplies! I’ve talked about how much I love ePantry before and apparently I’m not alone. Most people who start buying from ePantry continue buying and ePantry knows it. However making the decision to shop a little differently is a challenge for some (it was for me) and ePantry is making it even easier on you. From now until Sunday […]
