Comparing Prices Online
This weekend, my husband and I were on a mission to find a pot rack to hang above our stove. Or at least, something that could be used as a pot rack. With the after-Christmas sales in full swing, we thought we might be able to find a good price on one. Boy, were we wrong! Most of the store sales were on Christmas decorations or those last-minute gift ideas, like gift baskets that had gone unsold. The kitchen necessities weren’t on sale at all, to our dismay.

Best case scenario: we sometimes remember to send them money. But, the holidays are that special time of year when we make sure that most family members receive something special from us. The adults are usually easy to shop for, a book they’ve mentioned over the past few months, some items...
Read MoreShort and Sweet
Since I’m finishing up my gift jars this evening, and trying to get ready for the last day of school tomorrow, I’m making this post short and sweet. The holiday rush is making me cranky! At last, my husband and I made it to Walmart, not my favorite store, and finished up our gifts for our niece and nephew.
