7 Ways I’m Curbing Impulse Spending Over the Holiday Weekend

January 20, 2020 by Penny 3 Comments
7 Ways I'm Curbing Impulse Spending This Holiday Weekend

There’s a scene in the movie Clueless where Alicia Silverstone’s character is accused of being aimless. She insists that she has direction, and is promptly chided, “Towards the mall!” That, friends, was me in a nutshell for years. Decades really.  I didn’t have any concrete financial ambitions or direction. And I shopped like it was … [Read more…]

Celebrating Your Money Wins – Volume 23

September 25, 2019 by Penny 5 Comments
Selling Old Parts on eBay and Other Money Wins

Do you watch the register and check your receipts when you’re checking out at the store? Usually, I pay close attention…but when I’m shopping with a toddler, my focus is a little lackluster. Mostly because I’m trying to apprehend him before he puts every bag of M&Ms he can find on the conveyor belt. Thanks … [Read more…]

Why My View on What to Do with Low Ball Poshmark Offers is Changing

January 14, 2019 by Penny 27 Comments
Low Ball Offers on Poshmark

Poshmark has changed over the years. There are more features. There are different ways to adjust pricing. Oh, and there are definitely more closets to shop. Infinitely more. But the app isn’t the only thing that’s changed. Since I’ve started selling, I’ve shifted my stance on low ball offers on Poshmark and other resale platforms. When … [Read more…]

Frugally Awesome…or Awkward: The OfferUp Edition

September 10, 2018 by Penny 8 Comments
OfferUp Frugally Awesome Awkward

Call it serendipity, coincidence, or even divine intervention. As much as I believe that I am largely chartering my own course, every once in a while, the universe slaps me with a reminder to do something. Literally. OK, it wasn’t a slap. It was a trip. I was walking across the intersection in front of … [Read more…]

10 Things I’m Doing Today Besides Shopping

September 3, 2018 by Penny 16 Comments

Today is a holiday. My inbox has been celebrating for over a week. Each day, more and more emails arrive. I can’t unsubscribe fast enough. Weekly ads. Daily deals. For a limited-time only. The limited time, though, seems to grow in sync with the commercialization of each holiday. Today, a day intended to honor better … [Read more…]

My Return to Couponing & How to Start

January 11, 2016 by Penny 11 Comments

  Over the past month, I’ve gone back to clipping coupons. Not “let’s buy free contact solution even though no one wears contacts” couponing. Not “buried under a mountain of Sunday papers” couponing. I’m not even primarily couponing for things I need. I’m couponing for our food pantry.

How Ditching Diet Coke Saved Me Over $300 This Year and Other Frugal Habits I Already Have

August 19, 2015 by Penny 15 Comments

I know my fitness post was on the wasteful side of things, but when I’m not hesitating to kick my gym membership to the curb, I actually can be quite frugal at times. Not Extreme Cheapskates frugal, but frugal nonetheless.* I certainly have a long way to go in terms of optimizing my spending and … [Read more…]
