| The Weekly Worries
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 This week we're conducting an experiment in our house. Each weekend, we reluctantly run errands that total $200 or more. It's depressing. They're not meaningless, bored shopping trips; they're planned trips for essential items.

| Frugal Feet
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh

 Shoes are a weakness for many women. It's easy to spend a fortune on a closet full of shoes, but it's very impractical. Instead, try to make wise decisions when purchasing shoes and avoid buying "cute" shoes for that reason only.

|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 Normally when I shop, I don't fill my cart with bright yellow lemons. Until recently, that is. Now, after reading about the versatility of lemons in a grocery store flyer, lemons are at home in my fridge.

|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 Spring invites sprucing up, but budgets don't necessarily invite it. When your heart wants some fresh colors and subtle decorating changes, don't let your bank account stop you. For a few pennies, a fresh look can welcome you.

| Pets for Less: Save on Your Best Friend
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 It's that time of year again. Time to take our old friend, a mutt whom we adopted at the pound twelve years ago, to the vet. He'll be excited until he gets there, but when it's over he'll happily leave with a treat and new vaccination tag.

| Ready for the Rainy Day?
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh

 The irony of saving is that it is more important now than ever, yet it's harder to save today than it was a few years ago. What's the method of savings some extra money without cutting back on the things that you love?

By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 There's no quick fix for the economy, and jobs are disappearing daily. Even seemingly secure jobs are causing some people to look at their futures with a budget cutting scissors in hand.

| School Lunches With Pizzazz
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 The prices of school lunches, like most other things, are rising. Yet, parents need to question whether these lunches are providing their children with healthy lunch options and whether or not the lunches are worth the money.

| Recycle, Get Organized and Save Money
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 Every day people throw out product packaging and then turn around and purchase boxes, bins, and caddies to organize their homes. Instead, reuse the things that you're about to throw away, things that will fill landfills otherwise, and use them to save money and organize your home.
