So many of you have asked about purchasing Totally Ready for the Road at the pre-release price of $12.00. You can do this by going to TotallyReady.com right now. If you are considering a purchase as gifts for the holiday now is the time to order. There is partial list of the contents at Totally Ready to give you an idea of just how complete the guide is.
Have you ever gone over budget? Ever think you spent a certain amount only to find out you were wrong. Really wrong? Or did you ever want to know how much you saved this year compared to last year? When I first started couponing, I thought I was saving a LOT of money. And I was. But I was also caught in the web of deals. I felt that I had to use every coupon and go to every store. It took only a month to realize what had happened when I looked at the credit card bill. I was floored! I had known I was over budget but I did not know it was by THAT much!
And then I found Mint.com. And I knew it was a match made in heaven… or the financial world.
Mint.com tracks my spending. It gives me weekly updates. It tells me how much I am saving and how close I am to my goal which is currently a home. I think one of the best features is the very colorful pie chart. With Thanksgiving on the way I have pie on the brain and its nice to see it reach into my financial world as well as my food world.
Saving money is easy to do. Just shop sales and you are saving money. You are also spending though. And while I am a big proponent for deals and coupons, it should not come at the expense of your well planned budget.
Also check out this website for a great calendar free! Would be a terrific gift.
