Another Reason to Encourage Your Kids to WRITE a Letter to Santa

In a previous blog I vented… rather, shared my feelings regarding the influx of websites encouraging kids to go high-tech and email their letters to Santa instead of writing them by hand and shipping them off via snail mail. Frankly, I find the whole Santa email idea a bit insulting. It’s a slap in the face of parents and teachers who work tirelessly to encourage children to practice their penmanship.

It can be used throughout the entire day with as many purchases as you would like to make. So, if you want to buy shoes, you can use your pass … Continue reading →

What that usually means is that frugal people are generally wearing torn, holey, or otherwise shabby undergarments. I can’t help it. $8 for three pair of underwear on sale, or $8 toward a great sale on tomato paste that I can use for 12 meals. It’s a no-brainer. My mom buys me underwear. Yes, even at my age (“29 and holding”). They’re a very thoughtful gift. Especially when they’re NOT X-Large granny pants. … Continue reading →

Did Your Marshall Fields Turn Into A Macy’s?

If you can’t figure out what you enjoy more–watching reality TV shows or shopping–then you must read this blog. I just found out that someone has come up with a way that you can get fixes for both–at the same time. It’s a reality TV show about shopping. Well, not exactly about shopping. Rather, it is a show that takes you behind-the-scenes at the United States’ largest department store, the nine-story Macy’s, in New York’s Herald Square. It’s an eight-show series called “Unwrapping Macy’s” and it is set to air on the WE network beginning tonight. This is by no … Continue reading →
