Public Service Announcement


Soooo how to save cash - not spend it right?



Well here is my latest discovery....THE LIBRARY!



Here is the thing, you are paying for the library with your tax dollars but when is the last time you used it? I was finding myself going to Borders once a month and dropping $100.00. WHAT? And probably only a few of those books do I really want to own. Most of them I read don't love and then they sit there.....hmmm.....money sitting on the shelf.



The Orange County Public Library has an online service and delivers books I request to my doorstep for FREE! To drop them off, there is a simple drive thru box. That's right all for free. I never have to even go to the library. So I figure out what books I am interesting in reading and simply go online and request them. It is true sometimes there is a wait for new releases but sooner or later they end up at my doorstep.



Wait, gets better you thought the new $1 redbox was the cheapest movie option....think again. Your library offers new movie rentals - that's right - for free.



I know that owning books is important to some; so for you buy and own all the books you wish. But if you find you rather read the book before you buy.... look into your local library, amazing deals to be had!



So close your wallet and open a book ;)

I order books from the Orange County Library all the time. I can only get the urge to make one trip. So they deliver them to my door and then I return them. I love it!

What I am all about

This blog is all about the next great deal. I will try to give great tips and hints on how to make the most of your money! I love to shop but only when there are good deals. I think you have to spend money to make money and I love to do it! I have been very lucky in my life and hopefully can share that with others :) Coco Chanel once said: "You usually need to take off the last thing you put on." She didnt mean this but I usually add "to your credit card." So here are my tricks of the trade of living fabulous, shopping often, but all while getting a good deal and keeping those credit cards down!
