Since my son arrived I’ve spent little to no time searching for bargains. My sleep schedule is still pretty wacky so I’m doing my best just to keep things afloat. I also LOVE being with him and don’t want to waste time driving around town to save a dollar or two. The fact that it’s … Read more

Just as my hubby made his way through the checkout I decided to purchase one last thing and waited in line at the shoe department. It took FOREVER for the two women in front … Read more
