For many of us the word "Spring" is
followed closely by the word "cleaning." So what better than
to have a special day set aside to de-clutter and co-ordinate our
home work space?
Today is "Organize Your Home Office Day" and
Savings.com has plenty of deals to help you put your files and
supplies in order. Increase your efficiency and productivity with
workstations, storage and other office accessories--or at the very
least reduce that mountain of paper so you can find your
mouse!

Money Saving Tips
Cyber Monday is a great time to score deals, but waiting for sales
isn't the only way to get discounts on items. Often you can
score great prices just by asking.
Here are the unwritten rules of how to haggle and when to do it.

I'm usually appalled when my mother asks for detailed Christmas lists for each member of our family in October. "Really?!" I want to scream, "I haven't even got the last stitches in the Halloween costumes, and you want Christmas lists?" Instead, I smile and politely oblige, having no other choice if I want to keep peace in the family.
This year, however, after spending several days compiling these lists (after all, I don't want my children getting toys they have no interest in, or worse yet, socks, for Christmas), I had an epiphany: I could get my shopping done in November, save some much cherished cash, and enjoy the entire month of December by baking, playing with my family, and not stressing about shopping!
No, I haven't thanked my dear mother, but I did learn some interesting information about the best things to buy, and not to buy, in November.

You may or may not recall my recent post on the "
perfect deal" where I explained the three things vital to my happiness in frugal shopping. They were price, quality and convenience. Never before have I had a perfect deal ruined so badly by the lack of convenience as I did with my recent trip to
IKEA. I found IKEA's mix of Swedish minimalism and American apathy too much to bear. I know I'm not alone because Stella told me that IKEA is Swedish for "some assembly required"...followed by maniacal laughter.

Want to keep chemicals out of your home? Start with your furniture. Carcinogenic formaldehyde is typically found in most mass-produced furniture foams, while glues and finishes usually contain volatile organic compounds. Better known as VOCs, these spend years off-gassing toxic vapors that are potentially carcinogenic and deplete the ozone.
