LET’S CELEBRATE FAMILY GAME NIGHT WITH A GIVEAWAY {closed}

September 12, 2009 by Shynea

I love spending time with my family. With everyone's hectic schedule, and me now being employed full time outside of the home, creating that quality time for us to spend together is even more important to me now. I have always been a supporter of family night, and I have teamed up with Hasbro to celebrate National Family Game Night on September 23rd. I'm competitive. I love to win. So is my fiance. Three of the games that we play over-and-over again are Monopoly, Yahtzee and Sorry. We have had all night game fest in which we won't stop unto ...

LET’S TALK ABOUT “SHARING THE SAVINGS” WITH SAMS CLUB & A GIVEAWAY {closed}

September 7, 2009 by Shynea

I love using coupons. That is no secret. If you have been visiting my website/blog for any amount of time, you know that couponing and saving money occupies most of my thoughts. I'm not going to say that being frugal came natural to me. It was something that I had to learn, and I am so glad that I did. I was beyond excited when I was given the opportunity to work with Sam's Club. I am one of 15 bloggers who will be teaming up with Sam's Club in a new program called Sharing The Savings. The other wonderful people that will be joining me are: ...

SUMMER SHOPPING AT TJ MAXX & MARSHALLS: REVIEW & GIVEAWAY {closed}

August 25, 2009 by Shynea

I am a bargain shopper. I won't buy anything unless it is on sale, mark down or clearanced. My mother frequently laughs at me because if I don't see a red tag, I will put it back on the rack or the shelf. (All of my cars have been used cars. So when I say it, I mean it.) When I was given the opportunity to shop at TJ Maxx and Marshalls to experience their summer shopping I was more then excited. I have been a shopper at TJ Maxx in the past before. I loved the fact that I could get clearance pricing at their store without my infamous red tag ...

ANNOUNCEMENTS: PENNY PINCHING DIVA REVIEW & GIVEAWAY SITE {applications closed}

August 19, 2009 by Shynea

I am excited to announce that I have opened up the Penny Pinching Diva Review & Giveaway site. I love posting reviews and hosting giveaways, but I noticed that it was taking over my website and not everyone who came to Penny Pinching Diva was interested in winning prizes or reading about products. That is understandable, but I didn't want to take away from the people who liked that aspect of my site. My solution? To create a separate part of Penny Pinching Diva for just the reviews and giveaways. There will still be a select few givea...

August 18, 2009 by Shynea

This week, please join me as I hold a Breast Cancer Awareness week. Breast cancer is something that has personally affected my family. My dad's sister died of breast cancer last year.

Breast cancer is a disease that has affected my family. My aunt on my father's side died from breast cancer last year.
