Little Expenditures...

One way to really make you realize how much you are spending on something is to figure out how much it is costing you yearly.

Lets say you spend $5 every work day at Starbucks... multiply that by 5 which makes $25 per week. Multiply that by 52 and you will see that you are spending approximately $1300 per year on Starbucks. (That is the cost of two big screen TVs!)

Do this with your little expenditures and then you can decide... IS IT STILL WORTH IT???

Iggy's Free Dessert Coupon...

If you or your hubby like to eat dinner while watching big screens showing current sports, give Iggy's Sports Grill a try for your next date night. They are pretty reasonable with sandwiches or burgers with fries and coleslaw, (and that heavenly hot bread with chili water), for $8-$10. (We can usually eat the two of us for under $20.)

Any time we go to Iggy's Sports Grill I make sure to check their website first, because they always have some kind of coupon on there... usually for a free dessert. Right now, you can click here to print a coupon for a free slice of Banana Cream Pie or their gourmet Bread Pudding when you purchase two entrees, sandwiches, salads, pizza's or pasta's. My hubby and I tried the Banana Cream Pie last time we went and it was absolutely heavenly... and did I mention it was FREE???

The coupons do change every now and then, so visit their home page before you head out. After all, there is nothing more romantic than sharing a (free) dessert at the end of your dinner date. :)

Introducing Frugalityville's Blog Frog Community...

Have you heard of Blog Frog? Do you have a Blog Frog account? Do you participate in Blog Frog Communities? If the answer to any of these questions is no, then I want to simply ask you WHY NOT??? Blog Frog's basic membership is free and gives you the ability to attach a social network, (known on Blog Frog as a Community), to your blog. In a community, you can interact with your readers and get to know each other better. You can have discussions, ask each other questions and share ideas.

It is for all these reasons that my good friend Brandie was able to talk me in to starting a Blog Frog Community for Frugalityville! (See her Blog Frog community HERE.) My hope for Frugalityville has always been that "eventually it will become more of a community for friends... where we can all share what we know, learn from each other and celebrate our frugal successes." (-From my "Introducing Frugalityville" post). I believe that starting a Blog Frog Community is going to help accomplish that goal!

So I want to invite all of you to come over and visit my new Blog Frog community by clicking HERE. If you don't already have a free Blog Frog account, you can create one by clicking in the upper right hand corner, and then if you like, please join my community and start participating in the discussions by clicking on "Forum"!

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A BLOG to have and use a Blog Frog account, however, if you do have a blog, Blog Frog is a great way to find more blogs that interest you and bring more traffic to your own blog! I am looking forward to interacting with you guys and getting to know you better. :)

Who Wants To Be Happier?

I know this is not really to do with frugality, (although I have designated March as my month to personally truly focus on Saving), but I wanted to invite anyone and everyone to come join me on Gretchen Rubin's 2010 Happiness Project at my personal blog. If you haven't heard of the Happiness Project, you can read about it HERE, then choose your focus categories, set your January Goals and come join my first BLOG HOP of the New Year! Hope to get to know some of you better! :)
