As economic conditions worsen, more and more people are getting into coupons and frugality in general. But a lot of people get overwhelmed just trying to figure out where to get started. I realized this when Shreela, a reader that found this blog from one of my posts on Slickdeals, left this comment: Hi, I’m [...] That’s the question I am asking myself at this point. I am currently with Sprint and my wife is on AT&T, and I was looking into porting my number over to AT&T and then putting the two lines on a share plan. My current monthly charge through Sprint alone is $38.49 plus tax, my wife’s monthly [...] As evidenced by my last post on changing electric contracts, I’ve started looking at our monthly bills to see where we can cut costs and save some money. After effectively saving about $60 a month changing electric providers (after the one-time $69.99 early termination fee charged by my current provider), I set my sights on [...] Here in Texas, we have this crazy thing referred to as a deregulated electrcity market.

Our friends at Money Under 30 posted about their method of couponing recently in this post. But many people think that scouring coupon inserts, cutting [...] Looking for a way to stretch your grocery dollar? Extra savings may be no further away than your friendly neighborhood ghetto! Although many people assume that all stores in a particular chain in a particular area have the same pricing and specials, close inspection will find that prices can vary from store to store. I [...] Blame it on the hard economic times and the growing acceptance of the frugal lifestyle, but the personal finance blogosphere has seen quite a few dumpster diving posts of late. For a group that prides itself on frugality, it only makes sense that we’d see a few postings on the subject. After all, what is [...] Not getting the investment return you want from your money market account or certificates of deposit? Well, there is a new investment asset class, and your initial investment is probably already sitting in your pantry.
