Last year I got pretty plain blue, green, red and gold paper rolls that are perfect for any occasion! I NEVER pay more than a quarter a roll for them either! -- Pam, 40, from UT The best after-Christmas bargains I look for are holiday-themed everyday items, such as crackers, tissues and air fresheners. I don't care if I'm eating snowflake shaped Ritz in March! Drugstores usually have the most aggressive markdown schedules due to lack of space, so I visit them often after the holidays. -- Cheryl, 39, from FL For more ideas and to share your own, visit: http://mommysavers.com/boards/showthread.php?t=13811 ------------------------------ In-Store Bargains Want to get the scoop on where other Mommysavers readers are shopping after Christmas?

Oreos 1 Pkg. Cream cheese 1 Pkg. Chocolate almond bark/white almond bark Crush oreos so they resemble powder. The best way to do this is in a zippy bag for me. Once crushed, knead the oreos with the cream cheese into little balls with your hands. You can add a tsp. of vegtable oil so the balls won't be lumpy. Put a toothpick in the center of each one and put them on wax paper in the fridge for one hour. Melt your chocolate bark, then take the oreo/cream cheese balls out of the fridge, and dip in the almond bark and let set to harden. Make sure you get them completely coated so they don't ooze out the bark. Keep refrigerated. I personally like them best with the white almond bark though the chocolate is also yummy. -- Username Brensmom See all the raves/comments and recipe variations on these in our forums: http://mommysavers.com/boards/showthread.php?t=12299 ------------------------------ In the Forums: Going Against the Grain with Spending To be frugal, sometimes we have to buck the trends to buy new cars, big houses, and fancy clothes. In what areas do you feel like you're going against the norm when it comes to your expenditures or lifestyle? Are you doing this out of choice, or necessity? How does it make you feel? http://mommysavers.com/boards/showthread.php?t=13686 Kids and Money I've always thought that our schools don't do very much to teach kids about spending and personal finance. This is something that really falls on the shoulders of us as parents: to teach and model financial responsibility at any age. What do you do to teach your kids about money and personal spending? http://mommysavers.com/boards/showthread.php?t=13713 Financial Resolutions for 2007 If you write down your goals, you're more likely to actually achieve them.
