| Saving Summer's Bounty
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 Summer offers a plethora of berries and fruits that are both healthy and tasty. However, sometimes nature's bounty provides more than we can eat. Even at the best roadside stand bargain price, the produce costs too much if it's thrown away.

| The Non-Vacation Vacation
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 If the economy has brought your vacation plans to a screeching halt, there are some fun alternatives in your future. The alternative vacation plans might be even more enjoyable than a real trip, especially knowing that they're not costing you a fortune.

| Spending Lists
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 When it comes to our finances, they're very abstract. Check cards and electronic bill paying don't make it much easier; the concept of exactly how much money is spent is a difficult one to grasp. In the days of cash, it was much easier to understand where our money went.

| Skin Care For Less
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 While I'll never look like the glamorous women I see on TV, I can keep a tight skin regimen for much less than the ads on TV advertise.

| Say "I Do" to Wedding Savings
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 Major life changes require some major planning. Often people don't plan ahead, and they only realize the financial burdens after they amass. Instead of digging out of the financial hole that a wedding leaves in your bank account, prepare to hurdle across it.

| Use It or Lose It

 I'm sitting on a jackpot, and I didn't realize it until a rainy week inspired me to clean my office closet. Over the course of this year I had easily purchased fifteen boxes of thank you cards for $3 a piece.

| Buying More Time
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 There are some things that money cannot buy, and time is one of them. No matter how much money we save, we struggle to save time. But then, what's more valuable; time or money?

| 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
|
|

 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.

| Luxurious Lemons
|
|
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.
