Today is the final day to enter this weeks give-a-way.

This weeks winners will be announced on Sunday.

Don't forget to enter on Sunday for next weeks give-a-way.

Do you want to get to the best deals before anyone else?  I do I do.
 

I was making dinner the other night and watching the news and I think they said there are over 10 million jobs that have been lost during the recession. The GOOD NEWS is that the economy is picking up. The BAD NEWS, they anticipate about 1 million new jobs being added this year and it will take many YEARS for us to just get back to where we were.  

If I heard that correctly 10 million lost and 1 million added--there will still be a lot of people out of work and it sounds like it will be a very slow and very long recovery.  I know that is not shocking news but it looks like frugile living will be posh for a lot longer.  I am so POSH.  How about you?

I also know I am not telling you anything new by stating "a great way to make those dollars stretch is by going to Garage Sales, Consignment  Stores and Flea Markets".  I know it may sound crazy talking about garage sales when Washington DC could have a historic snow fall, but it is warm and balmy in Southern Florida.  Come summer I will be miserable in the Florida heat. It is too hot to go to garage sales in the summer months, especially hauling 4 kiddos in and out of a blistering hot car.  Right now, the weather here is perfect for garage sales.  Back in Kansas and Missouri garage sales are very different from down here in Florida, at least where we are. Almost all of the communities here are gated. They have big berms and full lush plants around the perimiter of the entire subdivision, even preventing you from seeing into the subdivision to see if it is the type and size of home you might be interested in.  Some of the subdivisions have a community garage sale and "open" the gates.  Seriously, looking for a garage sales should not be that difficult should it? 

GOOD NEWS

Well it doesn't have to be any longer, even if you live in an area where it is easier to get to garage sales, wouldn't it be great to be able to find all of them in one area, saving you time and money. Cutting down on travel time and gas used. Garage Sales, Consignment Shops and Flea Markets will be at the tip of your finger.  Garage Sale Tracker is launching a new iphone app so you can find all the garage or yard sales, consignment shops and flea markets within an area.  Isn't that great news?  You may just beat someone to the sale for that 'to die for' item because of the new Garage Sale Tracker iphone app.  That helps spread the family budget even further and gives you more projects to post to ITS SO VERY CHERI parties, that are open all week long.
Don't forget-I have a new Tuesday party starting:
