I just read the funniest piece over at SanLuisObispo.com and for those of you into saving money, and who are getting married soon, or even not, this is a must-read. While many of us in the money saving blogosphere attempt to help you save money with handy how-to tips, this hilarious piece covers some truly terrible ways to save money on your wedding.

Tip number 3 – “Marry via Skype, or Twitter your vows.“: Hahahahaha! As a blogger who is pretty much entrenched in all things social media, I’m actually surprised that I haven’t noticed an official Twitter wedding yet. …read more

After being away on business, Tim thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift. “How about some perfume?” he asked the cosmetics clerk. She showed him a bottle costing $50.00.
“That’s a bit much,” said Tim, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.00. “That’s still quite a bit,” Tim complained.
Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny $15.00 bottle. “What I mean,” said Tim, “is I’d like to see something really cheap.”
The clerk handed him a mirror.

I received this in a email and I was sure you all would like to see it too.

Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren’t representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued.
Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc. — all to no avail.
One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water …read more

I love jokes that are true and truly funny.  So I thought I would share this one with you.
When my wife quit work to take care of our new baby daughter, countless hours of peek-a-boo and other games slowly took their toll.
One evening my wife smacked her bare toes on the corner of a dresser and, grabbing her foot, sank to the floor.
I rushed to her side and asked what she hurt.
She looked at me through tear-filled eyes and managed to moan, “It’s the piggy that ate roast beef.”

I am going to share an email with you that I got recently but keep this in mind.  If we, as women, can think so quickly and specifically to get what we want, why can’t we do the same thing so easily with saving money?  Saving money is simple.  Take it one step at a time.  Tune in tomorrow and I will explain in greater detail my latest money saving technique that saves me at least $20 a month to put towards Christmas.

I couldn’t resist showing you this one. I love watching gymnastics and this year’s Olympics was only a huge disappointment. But that is ok. I was glad to see others win. I just wished we had won the gold. Maybe if we had had Paul Hunt on the team …

I am sure when Karen reads this she will bust a gut laughing.  But my sister sent this to me because she saw me in every line.  Granted, this was sent in an email but it truly is my life.

Thank goodness there’s a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better even though I have it!!
Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. – Age Activated Attention
Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward …read more

I was sent the cutest email about redneck technology.  It deals with everything from downloading to floppy disks to my 3 favorites:

double click and
reboot!

So check out the link to find out all about the latest redneck technology.  I am just sorry I couldn’t show you myself.  But due to image restrictions, I can only give you the redneck technology link.
Please come back and tell me what your favorite was.  I’m dying to know!

I’m dreaming of a Super Target
Where I can get groceries for free
Just click on iMommies
And print out the coupons
Then shop at Target each week
I’m dreaming of a Super Target
I dream of getting things for free
May your days be blessed with deals
And may you always be so thrifty

When I was teaching, I learned to make up songs on the spot.  Yesterday I was feeling a bit inspired while I was making breakfast for the family.  We don’t have a Super Target here and I was truly wishing for one.  lol
