I’ve posted here about my love for kids consignment and used clothes stores, but it’s hard to really put it into perspective unless I give a tangible example. So here goes nothing. I went to Once Upon a Child on route 99 and brought back a swing and bouncer. Both of which were used when [...]

Never pay full price at Bed Bath & Beyond
Listen, I know I’m losing a lot of points on my man card by posting this, but I can’t let it go. Every week or so, we get those coupon packs in the mail. In almost every one is a coupon from Bed Bath & Beyond. Liz clips them and then puts them in a [...]

Live long and be cheap
There are many things that you should just bite the bullet on and one of them is the life-time membership or equivalent service for a product.

Groupon Coupon
Many of the Groupons have been just ok by my standards, but this one is pretty good. If you’ve ever been to Bounce U, it’s pretty neat for kids. It’s a little odd having your kids in an inside blown up bouncer, but it’s nice that they have carpet and the activities are pretty fun [...]

Never be afraid to return something
I used to think that it was offensive to bring something back to the store. I don’t know why this is, I guess that I was just too worried that someone might be upset if I didn’t keep and love the thing that they bought for me. Well as I have grown (slightly) older and [...]

A trade possibly?
I got to thinking the other day that my Entertainment Book has about a million coupons in it that I never use and just plain don’t want. I also got to thinking that someone else might love some of those unused coupons. I further got to thinking (look out when this much thinking is happening [...]
