Did I Mention Wilderness?


Sorry about the few posts lately. We have been camping in the wilds of Northern Michigan. I thought that I would be able to find some Internet connections at restaurants, etc., but I didn't find one until today at Dairy Queen! I will be home on Wednesday and look forward to checking back in to all my favorite deals and stores. See you then!

For the Locals: Cheekwood's Reciprocal Privileges

If you are traveling this summer and need activities for your kids, you may want to check out the many museums that honor a reciprocal agreement with Cheekwood. What a deal -- for $75 you can get a family membership to enjoy all year and free entrance to some of the great museums the United States has to offer! For instance, you could visit the Orlando Museum of Art for free when you take your kids to Disney. For a family of five, that is worth $31 for just that one visit. While in Orlando, you could also visit the Orange County Regional History Center to see 12,000 years of history and save $36.

Local Frugal Bloggers!

It's really great having local frugal bloggers because they often report on deals of which you can take advantage, and they catch deals that you might have missed. I have recently come across a few more so I thought I would list the frugal bloggers in the Nashville area:

Faithful Provisions
Frugal in Franklin
Nashville Cheapster
I Love Publix
Faithful and Frugal
Vanderbilt Wife
Ms. Cheap
Like Merchant Ships
Seed To Sow

If I have missed anyone, or if you know of another local frugal blogger, please leave me a link!

No Menu Plan This Week

We are leaving on Wednesday for a camping trip in the wilds of Northern Michigan. It is my husband's twenty year high school reunion and his high school class will all be camping together. We are actually only going to be camping for a couple of nights and staying in various other places visiting friends and family. I have found that packing food for the twelve hour trip up is a waste of my time and money because part of the adventure is getting the gas station treats and fast food on the way up. Anything I pack gets ignored, so I have succumbed to the majority! However, I will be bringing my restaurant gift cards, my restaurant.com gift certificates and my coupons for the camping shopping trip once we get there! I am so looking forward to gathering store coupons and blinkies in stores that I don't have! Is that crazy?!

By the way, thanks Carol for being a great friend and being willing to house/pet sit for me!!
