We have made some fantastic finds on the sale racks and in the creativity department. Our latest treasure hunt was for the perfect wedding dress.Can you believe we found 2 wedding dresses and 3 bridesmaid dresses for under $200 - not $200 dollars apiece, but under $200 for all 5 dresses! Check out the rest of our finds on my April 7 post.

  7. Shoestring Beauty - 52 Card Workout
    It's almost summer and that means .....sigh.....swimsuit time. It's time to work off the effects of winter. The stores are brimming over with exercise equipment guaranteed to shape you up and slim you down. Unfortunately those miracles are expensive. I think that we'll all agree that joining a gym costs money - sometimes lots of money. Work out videos and exercise classes can cost a pretty penny, too. Don't despair! Here is a great workout that only costs as much as a deck of cards. Learn how to do the 52 Card Workout at Shoestrings End.

  11. From Jennifer: I wrote this post for Crystal's frugal Fridays but thought your readers might enjoy it! Found you here through the Shoe blog :) . And as a mom of many you might be able to relate to this one! I wrote a photo tutorial on making your own reusable cloth wipes for when little ones are in diapers. Not only do you save on 1. having to buy disposable wipes over and over again, but 2. you make them yourself for very little cost, almost for free! Mine were free actually :) .
  12. J. Savings says: You can fill up your fish tank on 55 cents, or even FREE!I give more details in my post, but basically instead of buying the "fancier" fish in the normal tanks for $3 to $7 a piece, you can pick up a handful of "feeder fish" for pennies :) The best thing about it is that you a) save the fish from being eaten, and b) they multiply like CRAZY, which is great for populating a brand new tank. And you can get anything from goldfish, to more more exotic baby fish in there.

  16. Amy at The Q family posted 13 Tips to Save on Vacation.
  17. Mary wrote in to say, My whole blog is about frugal living. Although many posts are devoted to my local area, much of the material on the blog can be used by anyone, anywhere.

  19. Dee at Shoestring's End says: When we were newly married and really feeling broke and needed something to boost our morale we would play Find the Change. You know the game - how much change is in the bottom of your purse, under the couch cushions or spilled out on the dresser? The goal was to collect enough coins (yes,pennies count) to buy a bag of chocolate chips. Then off to the store to purchase our prize and home again to bake our scrumptious indulgence. What fun we would have making the treat together and, of course, eating as many cookies in dough as we actually baked. No matter how empty the bank account, eating fresh hot chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee always made me feel rich. Still does!
    Today, as everyone is feeling the economic crunch, it's important to remember the simple things that make life fun. So, just for practice, even if you have a million dollars in the bank, play the game. See if you can find enough change to treat the family to a Simple Shoestring Pleasure. Visit my May 23 post at Shoestrings End for our favorite Chocolate Chip cookie recipe.
  20. Sarah said: I wanted to let you know about pingg.com, a designer inspired new online event-planning tool that your style-conscious readers would really appreciate. Gorgeous invitations, ad-free, green friendly and free to use. I think it would be a perfect tip those trying to plan any occasion and wanting to look great doing it.
  21. Frugal Retirement offers tips to save money daily to help you retire early.
  22. From Mallory: I thought this Cheapstingybargains.com might be of interest to your readers.
    It definitely has grown with the current economic situation and its content
    and following is growing each day.
  23. FrugalChoice.com advises: It doesn't cool down your house to leave your ceiling fan running all day...it only drives up your electricity bill. To save money, only run the ceiling fan when you're in the room - it will cool YOU down, it just won't lower the room temperature.
