Frugal Tips: Slay the energy vampires in your home!

Digitwirl NEW Episode

This is the problem-

Oh sure, your electric toothbrush, toaster and TV look innocent enough, but do you realize they’re robbing you blind? It’s true! In fact all your electronics are pulling power even when they’re not on. Which means you’re paying for a lot of electricity unnecessarily.

Don’t worry! I’ve Got Your Solution-

We found the perfect solutions. First the Belkin Conserve Socket which shuts off the electricity when you’re done toasting your toast, brewing your coffee or charging your phone. Second, the Belkin Conserve Smart AV, a power strip so smart it stops your TV, stereo and gaming system from drawing energy when you’re not using them, but keeps your DVR and cable box on so you won’t miss any of your favorite shows. Whatwill those Kardashians do this week?

Watch this week’s Twirl and watch Carley destroy all the energy sucking vampires around her house, no wooden stake required….

Good For Your Wallet, Good for The Earth!

What great ideas, right? I have been on a mission to cut back all of our expenses this past year – since, as a blogger, I’m not exactly rich yet. I annoy the family on a daily basis, reminding them to turn off the lights when they leave a room, turn off the TV, etc, close the windows when I have the heat running – what’s wrong with you guys!! Whoops, slipped into mommy-mode there for a minute… :)

I am totally in love with these new little gadgets, and am excited to see what kind of difference they’ll start making in my monthly energy bill. And – if you’re using SwagBucks, and earning free Amazon Gift Certificates like I am, you can get these FREE! Check ’em out on Amazon:

And if you’re still unsure, read the reviews on Amazon — one happy customer called the controls on the outlet “idiot-proof”, which is pretty important for me when buying tech stuff, lol.

What do you think? Are you lovin’ this idea too?

Digitwirl is the weekly web show that offers simple solutions to modern day problems. In 3 minutes, Digitwirl brings busy women the very best time, money, and sanity-saving technology, and then teaches them how to use it, step-by-step. Digitwirl was created by technology lifestyle expert Carley Knobloch, who uses lots of technology to manage her busy life as mom of two and entrepreneur.

My Favorite Fall and Halloween Deals and Freebies!

Maple Leaves in Autumn

Fall is my favorite time of year.

I love the changing leaves, the crisp mornings after such a hot summer, the new fall hoodies and boots- and the anticipation of all of the great holidays coming up!

So, I wanted to share a few of my very FAVORITE fall and Halloween freebies and deals that are going on right now. You already know that Vistaprint is one of my very favorite deal sites- I get SO much stuff from them, almost every single month. And with their FREE shipping deal right now, it’s a great time to shop. Plus, you can get a special deal that I haven’t seen in a while from Canvas People, and some amazing savings and freebies from my FAVORITE home improvement store, Home Depot!

Vistaprint:

Some EXTRA Great Deals from Vistaprint:

Vistaprint always has some awesome deals going on, but this sale is even better than usual- and there is so much fun stuff to make!

  • Trick or Treat Bag: Make your own, totally customized, cotton tote bag for Trick or Treating, for only $2 bucks! If you want more than one, you’ll get them all for 60% off!!

  • CanvasPeople.com is offering a free 8 x 10 photo canvas (just pay shipping, which is about $12-$14 bucks) OR you can get 40% off any larger canvas + free shipping as a special introductory deal!
  • When I buy these, I always upgrade to the 11×14 size- and they are just so beautiful, seriously. The quality is a million times better than I expected for such a low price- ask at your local studio what the would charge you for this– I guarantee it’s 5-10 times higher.

What’s a Great Buy – and What’s Dangerous to Buy! – at the Dollar Store

Dollar Store Shopping

Dollar Store Deals: Which Ones Are Worth It?

This info is from an article posted this morning on one of my FAVORITE sites, LearnVest, and is full of some great tips to keep in mind when shopping at your local dollar store.

Every day I get new updates, filled with fun ideas, and today was one of my favorites I’ve read in awhile. I totally recommend signing up for their newsletter:

Delivered to you five days a week, the LearnVest Daily is packed with money-saving tips and financial how-tos to enrich your life.

There’s no better challenge than finding out how far your dollar can go.

What was once kitschy is now cool (the New York Times would agree), and more affluent consumers are getting in on the dollar store game. Since the recession, it’s been boom time for these stores, which specialize in imported, generic and knockoff consumer goods for prices that make Wal-Mart look like a luxury retailer.

But before you get bargain-hungry and sidle up to a shopping cart, you should know which are the best dollar-store deals—and which offerings can be low-quality, or even dangerous.

Here are some examples:

  • Deal: Everyday Cleaning Supplies – Go for it. Cleaners have similar—though somewhat diluted—ingredients. (Spring for heavy-duty cleaners for tougher jobs.) Also get rubber gloves, sponges and scrub brushes here.
  • No Deal: Vitamins – Stay away. Some multi-vitamins don’t have the amount of nutrients claimed on the label; others don’t dissolve fast enough to be absorbed by the body.
  • It Depends: Food – Proceed with caution. Dollar stores don’t always have the lowest price, especially on generics, and cake and brownie mixes here come in misleadingly smaller packages. Lastly, keep an eye on the expiration dates, since they may be near or past their freshness date.

What do you think?

I was really surprised by how dangerous some of the items at the Dollar Store could be – and REALLY glad to have read this article, so I’ll think twice about some of the stuff I buy. Because, heck, I LOVE me some Dollar Store shopping!! I use it most for party supplies, and crafty stuff- you can get some amazing deals!

You can read the rest of the article, and find out what other items they consider a deal, or no deal, on theLearnVest site today.

I like to DIY my Dollar Store cheap-o’s into cooler stuff- decorate picture frames, put together a great centerpiece from an cheap mirror and candles, and you cannot beat their prices for gift bags and cards! What are your favorite Dollar Store buys– and what do you think of the items on LearnVest’s “No Deal” dangerous list?

Coupon Blogger ContestThink I’m a great Frugalista? Then give me a vote over at Cheap Sally, and help me make it to Round 2 in the “Bring Home the Bacon” competition!

BIG News from a Favorite Baby Site!

Planning Family- A New Mom Resource!

If you’re a momma-to-be, a new mom, or even like me – the busy mommy to a little toddler! – you can benefit from the wonderful content over at Planning Family!

Tons of free baby stuff from the brands you know and trust. Click Here to join!

Freebies and Coupons, but also so much more…

I started using Planning Family for the baby samples, to stock up before my little girl even arrived. And oh boy did those come in handy! When you realize at 2am that you’ve run out of formula, and don’t have another canister – it’s a lifesaver to be able to grab some from your sample stash. Plus, all of the samples we stocked up on were great for filling the diaper bags with trial size products too.

Free Baby Stuff from Planning Family

After the baby came, I started using Planning Family to find diaper coupons. Then I realized how much more there was to the site – I could find answers to most of my baby questions, fun information on Abby’s development, feeding and sleeping advice, and more. It really is a great resource!

Big Announcements Coming!

I got an email from Planning Family today, and is says, “Something big is coming…” It doesn’t give much detail of what is going to happen, but it does mention that “they will soon launch some wonderful new features that will make using PlanningFamily.com quicker and easier than it has ever been!” Making one of my favorite sites even better? Love it.

So, if you’re already a member, stay tuned for the big excitement. If you’re not a member yet, join me there today! If you’re not a mom – you can sign up anyway, and pass those freebies onto your friends, or just share this post to your Facebook and Twitter, so they can join too!
