Saving Money on TVsWith spring fever striking and another five months until football season starts, TV shopping has dropped to the bottom of the priority list for many Americans. If you count yourself among those willing to wait for another round of holiday deals, you may want to reconsider your strategy.

Consumer Reports recently reported that many television manufacturers are changing their pricing policies as of April 1.

Hellmann'sI'm a frugal gal and do everything in my power to make practical decisions which stretch my family's budget to the max.  Clipping coupons, shopping off-season and taking advantage of sales always lowers our bills, but the decisions I make as to what dishes to serve my family are just as important, if not more so, in keeping our family's food budget in line.

Thankfully, Hellmann's has created the Chicken Change-Up event featuring celebrity Chef Tim Love.  The recipes featured will help us all take charge of our family dinners and serve quick, easy and budget-conscious dishes that the whole family will clamor over.  Keep reading to learn more and find out why I chose to serve the Tuscan Glazed Chicken to my clan!

FoodSaverI'm a frugal gal and do everything in my power to make practical decisions which stretch my family's budget to the max.  Clipping coupons, shopping off-season and taking advantage of sales always lowers our bills, but what really frustrates me is how we have to throw money away every time the food we eat spoils prematurely.

Food prices are steadily increasing, making fruit and produce purchases an even greater risk.  I want my family to eat healthy, but I also want to make sure that I'm not needlessly wasting food or money because of food spoilage due to improper storage.  FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing Systems promise to save households a ton of money by extending the shelf life of almost everything we consume up to 5 times!  Now that's something this bargain hunter just couldn't pass up.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the FoodSaver 3820 Vacuum Sealing System from Jarden Consumer Solutions, which retails for $249.99, but is currently on sale for $210.75.
If you're a Sam's Club member, you can order the FoodSaver 3820 Vacuum Sealing System for only $149.98!

GalleryDirect.comGalleryDirect.com Blog AmbassadorOne of the features I love best about my home are the deep red colored walls in our living room and game room.  The dark color is very soothing and makes the overall tone of the room a relaxing one.

Of course these plain, bare walls needed just the right artistic touch to make our family room even more inviting.  This quest for quality artwork led me to GalleryDirect.com, a fine art publisher who believes in the motto "Fine Art for Everyone!"  Keep reading to learn more about an online retailer who can instantly beautify your home for less!
