Winning!

Winning!

Good morning, Club Thrifty enthusiasts!  Not only is it Friday, but I have some awesome news to share with each and everyone one of you.  Are you sitting down?  Wait for it……

On Wednesday, we found out that we won the ebay Frugal Blog Award in the family category!  I’m sure you’re all wondering what exactly this means.  And the truth is, so am I.  From what I can tell, I’ve just won a whole lot of bragging rights, fame, and glory for all time.  I’m also the proud owner of this swank little badge to display on my blog until forevah.  Isn’t she beautiful???

So, we are smack dab in the middle of Game of Thrones: Season 3…and let’s just say, it is AWESOME! Each week, I think that the episodes couldn’t get any better, but they do. I’ve even read the books, and I’m still blown away by seeing them happen on my television screen.

You know what would make them even better though? A 50-inch LED HDTV.

Good news! During the month of may, we are participating with over 40 other bloggers to giveaway a Samsung UN50EH6000 50-Inch 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV. Pretty sweet, eh? The television boasts the following:

  • Full HD 1080p

Benefits of Juicing (Plus Tips & Tricks)

The Benefits of Juicing (Plus Tips & Tricks)

A rainbow of juice- cucumbers, pomengranates, grapes, broccoli, and bok choy

A few months ago, I wrote about how juicing vegetables had become my unfrugal obsession.  I’m happy to report that I’m still juicing regularly and that we are enjoying it more than ever.  Juicing gives us energy and makes us feel amazing…especially when we do it almost every day.  Since we became vegetarians, we are eating a mostly plant-based diet anyway, but juicing just adds that extra bit of fuel that our bodies need to feel super awesome.  My skin looks great.  My hair is shiny.  I basically look amazing.  Believe it or not, juicing has also made me humble.

The last time that I wrote about the benefits of juicing, I got a ton of emails with questions.  At the time, I didn’t really have any advice for anyone since I hadn’t been juicing for that long.  Since it’s been four months, I feel like I finally have some juicing insight to share!  You can also check out a recent post about juicing on Hassle-Free Savings from my friend Kendal Perez.

Life Insurance: What Would Happen If You Died?

What Would Happen If You Died?Death.

What a somber topic indeed.  Yet, no matter how uncomfortable the topic may be, the fact remains that we’re all going to die sooner or later.  We don’t know when, or where, or how it will all take place…but it’s inescapable.   In fact, it’s one of the very few guarantees in life.  Since I work in a mortuary, I probably think about death more than any person should.  I help with countless funerals and have written thousands of obituaries.  And unfortunately, some of those obituaries were for people who died far before their time.  As we all know, life can be unfair.    [Read more...]
