Mommysavers Newsletter -- November 7, 2005 Visit our site for more great resources: http://www.mommysavers.com "It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding." -- Erma Bombeck ============================================================== Hello! Last week I got hooked on the hit TV show Lost. I held out all last year, knowing that I'd be hooked after watching just once. I was right! Luckily now I can watch all the episodes on DVD at my own pace. I'm renting mine through Netflix. Find out how you can get a free two-week trial and rent those great LOST episodes, too! With November's challenge being the $25 Outfit, I decided to put my own bargain-hunting skills to the test. Scroll down to see how I did, and how you can do it too!

I put a hole in it and a string through to hang it, then I write on it in permanent magic marker (ex: Our first Christmas 1999). I leave it at that but you could certainly go one step further and paste glitter, or sequins, or even feathers on it. A unique, rustic type Christmas ornament. -- Anet, 33, from NY Free (or cheap!) Produce Check your local apple orchards and fresh produce markets for reduced produce. Several orchards will either give away the apples, squash, pumpkins, etc. or charge next to nothing. We went this weekend and could take as much as we wanted. They only charge we had was a free will donation that would be given to the local food pantry! -- Rhonda, age 30 We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

Add the shrimp and cook until pink. It doesn't take long, just a few minutes. Then toss the sauce/shrimp with drained pasta.

Let's help each other out. Post your shopping tips here! http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=20587 Can't-Live-Without Home Products: New Faves Can't-live-without home products, what are your faves mom didn't have? I was just thinking today of the relatively new innovations (stuff my mom didn't have) that I have become totally reliant on. Regardless of price, I seem to "need" them, and will scrimp on other things to justify spending the money. http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=20480 Allowances: How Much is Too Much? How much is too much to give for an allowance? My son is 9 and he helps me clean the house and he has certain chores he has to do. I give him 10 dollars a week. But that also includes him making sure his homework is done every day. Someone told me that was way too much to give him, but I think with all he does it's ok. He cleans the living room, picks up dirty clothes and takes them downstairs, takes out the garbabge and cleans his room. I don't think giving him 10 dollars a week is too much for all he does. Does anyone else think its too much? http://www.mommysavers.com/discussion/index.php?showtopic=20704 ------------------------------ Coming Soon: Holiday Bargains Creative Gift Ideas ------------------------------ |
