It’s week two of my coupon clipping campaign using CouponMom.com‘s savings system. Presidents’ Day unfortunately put a minor wrench in the works this week since the newspapers don’t include coupon circulars on Holiday weekends. Who knew?

Here’s a special recipe for your favorite Valentine. The original recipe comes from Tyler Florence and calls for Brioche. Since I live in a culinary wasteland that is South Jersey, there is no Brioche to be found. Heck, it’s hard to find a bakery. I’m not saying a decent bakery, I’m saying a bakery, period. [...]
Yesterday, the the Press ran an article on the upswing of Coupon use since the downswing in the economy. I am pretty sure this wasn’t shocking news to anyone. Back when my babies were babies, I was a pretty skilled clipper. On a good day, I could count on saving about $30 off of my [...]
