I’m not sure how, but it seems that so many people forget what amazing saving are available by using coupons. Whether I am shopping for gifts, groceries, technology, or clothes, I make sure that I am taking advantage of all the free money! Below, I’ve put together a quick beginner’s guide to finding coupons so that you can start saving money now!

Know the obvious places to find coupons. It’s little-known just how many different places there are to find coupons. There are lots of coupons up for grabs, if you know where to look. Circulars, magazines, and newspapers are a great place to start. These are generally where you’ll find savings on your groceries, which is great because food is expensive and you generally only get to use it once before it’s gone. Grocery coupons can also be found in-store in circulars and are available throughout the store.

Know where coupons are hiding. Some other places you might not think to find coupons include online, in your junk-mail, and from the manufacturer. [Read more...]

If you are an artist, there is no better time to sell your crafts and artwork. Unique artwork is in demand as people rebel against department store items and seek to find something unique. Not only do you get to do what you love, but you can make money doing it. Best of all, creating crafts or artwork offers you a flexible schedule to work around the needs of your family, if necessary.

However, before you jump into creating crafts or artwork to sell, there is some research you should do first.

1. Find out what is hot. What is selling good right now? That is one of the most important questions you can answer. One crafter on Etsy went through a Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class and was inspired to create her own unique cash envelope system. As more and more friends complimented her on it, she decided to create some more and put them up for sale on Etsy. Now, she and her husband both work full-time on their Etsy business. Finding what is hot and will sell well is essential. [Read more...]

What Does Your Perfume Say About You?

September 21, 2012 By poweredbymom 28 Comments

If a picture tells a thousand words, a scent paints a thousand more. Close your eyes and inhale a few scents and you’d be sure to conjure up a visual image of the type of person you imagine would wear each perfume. From rich, heady aromas to barely there fragrances that somehow leave their mark, each perfume may call to mind a sensual seductress; a coquettish, beautiful young thing; a headstrong and confident business woman, or anything in between.

What Does Your Choice of Perfume Say About You?

A spritz of a classic Chanel or a waft of a celebrity scent; a spicy, sensual aroma or a light hearted, fresh hint of an aroma – what type of perfume do you tend to opt for and what do you think it says about you? There are perfumes that deliberately hint at a racy sensuality, others that are more suggestive of a cosy night in and still others that convey a ‘don’t mess with me’ message. With the human nose able to distinguish between some 10,000 smells, it is a powerful organ and it makes sense to put some thought into the message that we want our perfume to send out about us.

Don’t Spend a Bundle on Back to School Essentials!

September 20, 2012 By poweredbymom 7 Comments

Yes, it is that time of year again. As the ‘Back To School’ adverts start flashing on the television, it’s time to think about getting prepared for the next academic year. Make an inventory of everything your child needs again this year whilst consulting the school kit list. Have they outgrown last year’s clothes? Is their backpack falling apart? Where on earth is their pencil case? By planning this before-school shop in advance, you can save yourself a few bob.

Wait A Few Weeks

Of course, you should check off the important essentials before the start of term, so your kid isn’t going to school with two inches of their wrist showing. Yet, smart parents leave what they can until term-time begins and make use of the school supplies on sale. Treat your kid to a set of funky stationary at a fraction of the price. [Read more...]
