This week I share the results of the poll that was posted last week - and 54% of you feel that you need help with Cleaning/Organizing your homes.I also share some listener questions as well as some feedback.
I’m chatting with Chele from Moms Love Shopping about grocery shopping! We discuss meal planning, coupons and saving money. Chele even shares some fabulous tips she learned from her recent interview with Crystal from MoneySavingMom.com.
We talk about how we use our sales circulars and coupons to meal plan and save money!
For more tips about couponing, visit Cara’s Coupons - Grocery Coupons 101.
I’m switching gears for a few episodes and we’re going to discuss frugal living. This week I am joined by my friend, Kristine McKinley to discuss the current situation with the US economy. It’s basically a lesson in Economics 101 so we can better understand what the media is making such a fuss about.
We discuss how the media focuses on the negative, how the election year affects our economy and how does this all affect us. Kristine has some great information and explains to us what a recession is. She gives us some great ideas on what we should do now and what we can do to take advantage of the ‘down’ market. She also gives us a heads-up to a potential tax rebate check!
Kristine is a CPA and Certified Financial Planner. You can learn more about Kristine’s financial and tax planning services at her website www.beacon-advisor.com or her blog www.financialtipsforwahms.com.
We also take a moment to discuss Kristine’s new e-book Living Debt Free.
Based on some feedback and questions I’ve received from listeners, I wanted today’s show to address the struggles of organization when you have children with special needs. So I get on the phone with my good friend Kym Lesch to find out how she manages her home, family and business with 4 boys ages 6 and under. Three of her boys have Autism. Even if you don’t have children with special needs, her attitude is so amazing that she’ll inspire you.
