Updates and Spring Cleaning

I am trying to find a new design and dust off the cobwebs. If you see things moving about like a lunatic is designing the blog (if anyone actually reads this thing instead of just signing up and spamming me)-fear not. Hopefully I will have ti revamped in a week or so. Its just so [...]

Makeover!

If anyone has been watching the site you’ve seen it hacked, down, up and changing. Hopefully the hacking issues are behind us. The makeover is almost done. Just need to finish clipping and revamping the graphics and make some new ones to match the new colors. Once I get everything revamped there will be a [...]

Make Sure You Have the Right Blog

Every once in awhile I google myself….I know it sounds dirty, but after thinking up this name and buying the URL back in 2009 I have to watch out for imposters and people with close names. Not everyone understands why having a unique name is a good idea and how infringing on someone who may [...]

Back to Saving

I have been seriously slacking in the deals department. Even worse I have been slacking in the posting and sharing department which makes me feel even worse. After looking at what I want to buy for lunches for work I need to get my butt in gear though. So I will be working harder to [...]

Color Change?

Not sure I’m liking the new colors….I miss the bright pink and black design. I think I will be trying out a pink design tomorrow night as well as working on the Market Basket ad scans when I have some high speed access. Life is starting to get back on schedule and settle down with [...]

iStockphoto and She Blogs Makeover Contest

SheBlogs is having a blog makeover contest. As you might imagine I would adore to win. Coding for WP just isn’t in the cards right now, and its always refreshing to let someone else take your ideas and bring them to fruition. Especially as hot as its been and as busy as I’ve been. Having [...]

MIA-Sorry About That

So I have been MIA and am behind in anything having to do with the internet at this point. Unfortunately life interceded and took precedent. Here’s what I’ve been up to: I got a new job. YAY! I had a yardsale-and got a sunburn but not much cash I took lots of naps cause its [...]

Word Limit Issue….

Having an issue with word limit in the new themes I want to use. Which means the last two store policy links cannot have just about anything in them….research suggests its connected to the PHP file, but I can’t figure it out. I don’t know PHP….argh. Its too hot to try and wrap my brain [...]

New Theme Coming

You may notice drastic looking changes over the next 24 hours, possibly the next few days. I promise you the same nutcase is behind the scenes and the deals aren’t going anywhere. I am am just working through a re-launch. Fresh new theme, fresh new design. I hope it will be more educational and help [...]

NEW List Feature

So I am trying out a new list plugin which will allow you to select items and print a Shopping List for each store. You can view it on this week’s deals, starting with the Market Basket ad. I have the entire ad listed, but I am thinking I will type out the add then [...]

Carbon Neutral Status

You may have noticed my host company Host a Tree is a green host company. What does this mean? It means they have determined how much carbon they use in electricity to power the servers, offices, computers, etc and purchase an equal amount in “green energy” to offset that. This “green energy” is renewable powered, [...]

Hello WordPress 3.1

Upgraded to WordPress 3.1 today. Probably a bit behind the curve, but I was sick yesterday and behind all weekend. As soon as I finish this post in fact I will be making rafts for the weekly deals and then doing some housework before sitting down to type them out. There are bits of cardboard [...]

Baby Its Cold Outside…

Temperatures have been steadily plummeting over the weekend up here in New England. We got to -2 before heading to bed last night. Hear it got to negative double digits up in Fryeburg, ME which is in the hills and has wacky weather… …and while its important to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe [...]
