E-Meals & Deals

Would you like to find cheaper parts for your car, but don't know where to look? Well, I was looking around online and found the perfect website for you! Go to http://frugalmechanic.com . The site lets you look up your car's year, make and model and then do a search for the parts you need. If you are having the work done by a professional they normally don't guarantee the parts if you supply your own, BUT you will save LOTS of money. I would definitely check to see if the website you purchase the parts from offers a warranty on the parts in case they fail due to manufacturer's defect.  

I was watching Rachael Ray last week and saw an interesting website and thought I would share!  It's called Awkward Family Photos; you can upload your own awkward photo and add a funny caption to share with the world!  Go to: http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/

Five Secrets to Maximizing Your Coupon Savings Posted by: guest on Thursday, September 24th, 2009 Five Secrets to Maximizing Your Coupon Savings, a guest post by Jim Bob Howard I didn’t realize she was talking to me, at first. Undeterred, she tapped me on the shoulder and repeated her emphatic question, “How did you DO that?” "That" was checking out with two carts overloaded with groceries with an initial total of $498 and then paying only $187 for all of it while receiving a handful of coupons from the cashier. I looked at my questioner's shopping cart with a few store brand items and then back into her imploring eyes and I knew what she was thinking. I had been there myself only a few months before.
