First let me start off by saying that Idea Queen is no girly girl. Make up does not interest me usually, and I can be quite picky. Also, I’m not the type that will pay ungodly amounts of money for something I hardly wear. However, my friend turned me on to E.L.F. Cosmetics simply because of their prices. I was absolutely floored to see how cheap some of their items were, and how many deals they have on dang near a daily basis. Because I love a good deal, I felt the need to share what discount codes for Elf Cosmetics that I’ve found. I’ll try my best to update this page on a regular basis as well.

It’s no secret I’m a frugal mom. I’m a bargain hunter just like my grandma, and often times won’t even think of buying certain items unless it’s on sale. This is especially true with crafting supplies. Fabric and fun toys, I’m all over it if I can buy for less than retail price. Thus why I was so excited to see this new promotion at Joann.com. Coupon Details: 40% Off the Regular Price of One Item at Joann.com ( Code:AE74 ) Clicking on the link above will also show you a few other promotions and the restrictions around them. There’s a lot of choices here, so if you have some big purchases to make, this code would be great (I did happen to see sewing machines are excluded though on this one, but other higher ticket items might not be). Hopefully these discount coupons from Joann Fabrics will help you...
While I really complained about the cost of a new Nintendo Wii since they first came out, I can’t say the $267.49 (tax included, purchased new at my local GameStop) I paid was really of that bad of a deal. Not only are they still selling for insane prices online, but when you figure in how much they are really WORTH, it makes all the difference. Think of it this way…. - The price of home gym could be anywhere from $300 clear up into the thousands. Plus once you get the home gym, what is there to add to it, and how fun is it? - A fitness club, at minimum, is going to cost you over $400 a year. Again the fun factor may be missing in some programs. - YMCA membership in our area costs over $500 per year for a family. Our local Y is pretty sad looking, too, and no where near worth that cost. Plus most the ‘classes’ cost...
Maybe it’s because of my upbringing, but I never could understand the concept of a meal in a box. Once in a great while, I’ll wander down the “box dinner” section of the store, and pick up something that’s “super easy to make and ready in 30 mins or less”. However, I still have failed to see the real purpose of them, other than cleaver marketing. We made a hamburger helper beef stroganoff only once. After having to cook the hamburger and add a few other ingredients, I stood scratching my head as to WHY I bought basically the pasta and seasoning in a pretty box when I could have spent the same amount of money (or less) and time doing it from scratch. (Which we have ever since – see our Hamburger Beef Stroganoff recipe here) Just a month or two ago, I got curious again about the boxes. As you...
I am such a sucker for Joann’s. No matter if it’s online or locally, I’m like a kid in a candy store. So when I see deals like this, I just can’t help but pass them along! From now until April 15th, get Free Shipping at Joann.com on orders of $35 or more. Be sure to use this code: MARFSA935. Even though some of you may be like me and not sew a whole lot when the weather is nice, it’s a great idea to go shopping while the shipping is free. I LOVE this store and don’t have any problem finding $35 worth of fun stuff to play with. Have fun! Read More →
For those that do own a Wii and are interested in active family games, the page we’ve been working on (Family Games for Wii) for the last few weeks has been updated in a major way. When we first announced the new page, there were only 3 reviews up. After renting, buying, and begging for some reviews, we’ve added a whole lot more! Keep in mind the ranting system we have is a little different. Instead of just one overall rating of the game, we break it down into seven different sections. For it to rate high with us, it’s got to be a fun FAMILY game that gets both adults and kids up and moving. I can’t be too easy or too hard, must get us active, get everyone involved in the game play, and of course, be FUN! We know Wii games aren’t cheap, so we hope these reviews will give you a better idea if some games you’ve...
I may not enjoy shopping for Christmas, but I sure to love it after! There’s sales and discounts galore, and it’s the perfect time to stock up on things like wrapping paper, Christmas printed fabrics, and lots more.

The closer it gets to Christmas, the more I’m dumbfounded with the prices of Nintendo Wii’s. Even on eBay, they are selling for no less than $300. I scanned the internet last night and found no great deals from trusted companies. But I have to ask – did anyone even LOOK offline? Yesterday I just happened to hit both Walmart and Target, seeing that Target still had quite a few of them in stock at their “normal” price of $250 even though Walmart was sold out (it’s a small town Walmart, I wasn’t surprised). Our local GameStop had them last week as well, from $250 and UNDER. So why is everyone spending so much on these “toys”? Have we become a nation so driven to give our kids whatever they want that we are willing to spend ungodly amounts of money to please them? To me this is absolutely...
A month or two ago, before they even started work on our house, my daughter found something of interest at the dollar store. It was a small wood hanging picture that says “Angel” on it. Very simple, very cheap (we were at the REAL dollar store, where everything is a dollar and no more)……yet it made her so very happy. She decided it would go up on her wall as soon as they were done with her room. Now that they are just about finished with her room, we’ll have to be on the look out for more things just like that. Even though she begged for pink walls, I decided they would be white and we’d decorate. I know from experience little girls don’t always like pink for long, so painting her walls pink would have been asking for trouble. Some of the decoration we’ll be adding will be regular posters...
