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???

Yo, VIP! Let’s kick it!

What up party peeps? The VIP Club Roundup is back! We are thrilled to be back in full force after an awesome vacation to the Dominican Republic…or as some of our friends from The Great White North like to call it Punta Canada. We had a super busy week, trying to play catch up and all. However, I did manage to get our taxes done. Yay for that being over with, and we even got a little refund! Between all of that, we even managed to get a few blog posts in this week. Here they are, just in case you missed them:

• Types of Investments: Slicing Through the Mystique
• Majestic Colonial Punta Cana: A Review
• Catastrophic Events That Will Keep You Up at Night
• Save Money By Using H&R Block At Home

Hello folks! Welcome back to Club Thrifty’s VIP Club Roundup! We hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It has been a pretty rough week around these parts. We have been incredibly busy at work. Add that to the fact that we have a 3-year-old who has been keeping us up almost every night for about 2 months, and you’ve got some very tired peeps here at Club Thrifty. (BTW – be looking for a beautifully written, well crafted story about this “waking up” coming soon!) We are very sorry that we haven’t been doing as much commenting and tweeting lately. It is our plan to get back to normal next week.

Due to the holidays, among the other life events, we have been a little light on content around here lately. We do hope you had a chance to read the following:

• Snowed In…and Succumbing to Lifestyle Inflation
• Tips to Save Money During Winter
• Can You Afford to Live Until You are 90?

Search Terms

Here are the “best” search terms of the week!

• hello beautiful getting student loans forgiven
• my husband is into inflation (Kinky!)
• spender in the ass.com (Zoinks!)
• tythtrftykyyftgyf (Sweet! We totally optimized for that.)
• where do porn stars get breast implants (…that too! We’re on a roll!)
