GET 50 SWAGBUCKS ON YOUR BIRTHDAY JUST BECAUSE
I have sworn my praises over Swagbucks many times on my blog. Just this month alone, I have been able to cash in my points for three $5 Amazon.com gift cards. (I'm saving them, because I think I want to purchase a Moses Basket for baby girl.) There are SO many different prizes that you can cash your points in for, but the Amazon gift cards are my favorite.
Right now, Swagbucks has released that they will give you 50 Swagbucks on your birthday just because.
This is yet another great way that they are rewarding the participants in their program...

THE SUMMER OF SWAG: EARN LOTS OF SWAGBUCKS THIS SUMMER
Not too long ago I wrote a post about how I'm using Swagbucks to treat myself and my family to some extras for free. If you're on the internet as much as me throughout the day, you are always on Google searching for things. Now, you can use Swagbucks and earn points to redeem towards prizes while you do your searches. (My favorite prize is the Amazon gift cards, but they have so many other prizes to choose from.)

ONLINE SHOPPING – A FEW COUPON CODES TO GET GREAT DEALS
I am becoming more and more of an online shopper. I use to never purchase anything online because I thought that I could always get out cheaper by buying what I needed in the store instead. I have been proven wrong over-and-over again within the past few months due to the fact that a lot of online stores are releasing very good coupon/promotional codes that you can use during checkout. I make sure that I use all of these codes on clearance/sale items only to maximize on my savings. I also buy items for my children in 1-2 sizes bigger so that I ...

ARE YOU SWAGGING? IF NOT, YOU SHOULD BE. EARN FREE GIFTS WITH SWAGBUCKS.
I am a HUGE fan of Swagbucks. What is Swagbucks you ask? Swagbucks is a search engine that lets you earn points just by doing searches. (Just like what you would do in Google.) Points are accumulated on a daily basis, and once you earn enough points you can cash them in at the Swagstore for some very interesting prizes. (My favorite? The Amazon gift cards.)

MY ADVENTURES IN FREEZER COOKING: INTRODUCTION
I have been interested in once a month cooking, (or freezer cooking as some may call it), for a very long time. I have seen so many mommy bloggers raving about the benefits of being able to go into their freezers and pull out healthy, homemade meals for their family. I am so against tv dinners. I only serve them under dire circumstances.
With freezer cooking I will be able to prepare quite a few meals and freeze them for later use.
The final push that I needed came when I found the website Once A Month Mom. I decided that I would try my f...

MY FRUGAL DINING ROOM MAKEOVER
I have been without a formal dining room for over a year now. When we moved from Alabama to Florida we gave away our gently used dining room set (that was given to us for free) because there was absolutely no where to fit in our storage unit. Now, a year-and-a-half later, I am beyond ready to have a nice dining room area for my family to enjoy our meals and gather together to play games.
I had a budget of $400 and that amount had to include the dining room table itself.
Most people would have found that to be impossible. Me? I saw a challen...

THE ANATOMY OF A COUPON BINDER
In a previous post, I gave my readers the chance to download my Penny Pinching Diva Coupon Binder Dividers. The response and downloads from that post was overwhelming so I have decided to show you exactly how my coupon binder looks, and the supplies that you would need to make your own. Not every coupon binder will look the same, or be organized the same, but I believe in K.I.S.S. (Keeping It Super Simple). This binder has the bare necessities but it still allows me to organize my coupons with efficiency.

CREATING A COUPON BINDER + A DOWNLOAD

There are many different ways to organize your coupon binder.
Some systems are simple and some are very detailed oriented. Three of the most common ways to organize the coupons in your binder are:

SCALING BACK YOUR GROCERY BILL BY MENU PLANNING
I am an avid supporter of menu planning. I even wrote an article on menu planning over a year ago. For 2010 I have decided to do a year long series of getting “frugally fit.” 2010 is going to be a year where a lot of families will need to tighten their budget. It is my goal, here at Penny Pinching Diva, to provide you with tips throughout the year to help you stretch your money.
