Friday Frugal Funnies: A Coupon Mishap

I’m not sure why, but reading other people’s mishaps and disaster stories that revolve around our nutty frugal behavior make me laugh harder than even some of the funniest jokes. Of course not all situations are bust a gut funny, some are merely “Oh my gosh I can relate” funny. Thus is the case with this story brought to you by my friend Cara who in her family is known as the frugal fanatic though I still think that title probably could best fit me. Cara shares here funny story: “Ok, well mine has little do with frugality and more … Continue reading →

Friday Frugal Funnies: Several Great Laughs

It has been quite sometime since I’ve posted a Friday frugal funny. I decided it was high time I started getting back into it, but after this week there will be a slight twist.

Notable Notes

These are just some fun quips and quotes about homes and families. Aren’t the funniest statements always the ones that ring true? What Does Home Mean to You?

Friday Frugal Funnies: A 12 Step Program For The Frugal Mom

Being as frugal as I am, I often get strange looks from my friends who are a little less frugal. Some of my friends consider themselves frugal until they get a good look at my life.

Here is a great 12 step program for coping with strange looks and gentle criticism from your less frugal friends, or even your husband and children.

Friday Scrapbook Funnies: How To Get Your Husband To Scrapbook and Like It!

HOW TO GET YOUR HUSBAND TO SCRAPBOOK AND LIKE IT by Nicole Humphrey As it would go, men don’t tend to be the most creative beings on the planet. In fact, creativity for them often entails deciding which chips will taste best and compliment the sports team he’s watching on TV. But in reality, men are really creative and can enjoy our hobby as much as we do. (ok, perhaps NOT as much, but maybe at least half as much). To begin, you need to purchase your husband a camera. I strongly recommend a digital camera with an automatic setting. … Continue reading →

Fun Riddles

“Laughter is the best medicine,” is actually a true statement. Laughing releases chemicals in the brain, which in turn make a person feel better. In previous blogs Laura Torres talked about the value of jokes and knock-knock jokes and shared some of her favorites. But I prefer riddles. They require the listener to really think about the question before answering. Typically the obvious answer is incorrect. The one telling the riddle is usually the one to get the best laugh. Q. A plane crashes on the border of the United States and Canada. Where do they bury the survivors? A. … Continue reading →
