We became members of Costco! I have been so excited to finally get my membership so I can join the masses… literally! It is just so insanely busy there!
We were there at 9:45 in the morning and it was so so busy, I can’t imagine what happens in the middle of the afternoon on a weekend!?!
Busy or not I am super excited about being a member! They have absolutely everything!
Can’t wait for my next trip to Costco!

One of the most frequent subjects that comes up between Jason and I is money!  No matter what life stage you are in, I’m sure you can relate to the relevance of MONEY in your life.  Jason and I have been working hard to become and stay debt free.  We are also learning how to keep monthly budgets which means that we have to shop smart!  

Today I want to share a great tool with you for shopping.  It is the ‘Sweet Deal‘ blog!  Solmaz keeps you up to date on great shopping bargains.  Some of her recent entries include, Epiderma Laser Hair Removal, discounts at GAP, Banana Republic, Old Navy, McDonalds and much more. 

She has great techniques for when you go shopping and wanna catch a deal and also keeps her eye out for deals that you can benefit from just by going to her website!


Check out the ‘Sweet Deal‘ blog for tips on how to save money while still going shopping!

My question is WHY would you pay more for something just for the name?  If it was a designer purse I might understand it… but if it is pasta??  Why not save the money and buy No Name Brand and then save up for other things… like a Gucci purse even! 

On that note… I’m going to look at the Gucci website…. maybe if I buy enough ‘No Name’ brand products I could end up with a purse :)
