It is that time of the year. Time to purge your house by
de-cluttering, and get some Spring cleaning done. After the buying
frenzy that can accompany the holiday season, I find it almost
therapeutic to get my house back in order during the Spring
season.
Spring cleaning is not something you expect to spend much money on.
However, cleaning supplies (especially if you like to use green
cleaning supplies), and all of those organizational items can
really add up.

When it comes to holiday shopping, it's all about the timing. Sure
we're busy, and sometimes we simply can't get around to shopping
for gifts until after we've hosted Thanksgiving dinner, taken the
dog to the vet, helped the kids study for midterms and decorated
the house for the holidays.
In fact, according to the National Retail Federation, last year
only 7.6%
of Americans had their gift shopping done by the second week of
December.
Still, if there's any wiggle room in your schedule at all, consider
these four reasons why shopping for gifts early can give you a
major monetary advantage â¦
1. You'll Shop Smartly When You Start Early.
Think about it: when you're late on your holiday shopping, the last

It's the day when stores slash prices on everything from laptops
and tablets to TVs and Blu-ray players. Be still, my cheapskate
heart.
Of course, the secret to Black Friday success is knowledge.
The more you know, the better your chances of scoring the absolute
best deals--and avoiding the deals that aren't as good as they may
seem.
With that in mind, I've put together three things you should

With Halloween behind us, most people have moved on to planning for
the next big holiday to hit usâThanksgiving.
Although, let's be honest, for savvy shoppers it's the day
after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, that really brings the
thrills. With its promise of super savings and credit card friendly
deals, Black Friday is a budget shopper's dream.
Still, no matter how many times you've been through it before,
there's always something new to learn to get the most savings out
of the day. "People are shopping on Black Friday for multiple
items, typically, and it's easy to get caught up in the frenzy of
getting
all the deals," says Andrea Deckard, author of

As the leaves are changing, so are most of our diets. Gone are the days of eating chilled slices of watermelon at an outside picnic, and here are the days of warm, hearty meals. It is also hard to notice the abundance of this season's produce available at local farmer's markets and supermarkets.
A key to spending less on food is to plan meals on what is on sale. Shop produce at peak season to get the most bang for your buck. During the month of October and November you will find butternut squash, pumpkins and apples galore.
