  • Cooking Saves Money but Increases Danger

    By Yo Prinzel    Friday, July 03, 2009, 12:05 AM    Category:   Especially for Women

    One of the biggest challenges I face with my budget is the purchase of food. The actual purchasing of food is easy--I love food. I purchase a lot of it. The problem begins when I have to take the food I've purchased out of the refrigerator and... cook it . There are days, hours, moments in which...

  • Wants Versus Needs: Godzilla and Mothra Got Nothing On You

    By Yo Prinzel    Thursday, June 25, 2009, 12:58 AM    Category:   Especially for Women

    Recently, I stumbled upon this post which discusses some interesting recent findings by the Pew Research Center. Apparently, Pew found that the number of Americans who consider cable or satellite TV, flat screen TV, air conditioning and microwave ovens to be “necessities” has dropped since...

  • CheapToday Beats Print Media at Announcing Sale

    By Yo Prinzel    Friday, June 19, 2009, 09:42 AM    Category:   Especially for Women

    You know those sale papers you get in your mailbox every week? In mine they have local grocery store coupons, Steak and Shake or Pizza Hut coupons, Geico flyers and the Big Lots weekly sales flyer. Every week I go through these flyers and try to ferret out any deals that look good to me (and man, hand...

  • Women and Money

    By Yo Prinzel    Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 12:01 AM    Category:   Especially for Women

    This weekend, PBS was having one of those pledge drives that I can’t stand. Oh, I know, they need the money…but I don’t like having to watch them beg for it. I wish they had some kind of button I could press after I make my contribution that makes me able to see the programs instead...

  • CheapToday Free Deals are Making Me Fat...er

    By Yo Prinzel    Thursday, June 11, 2009, 12:14 PM    Category:   Especially for Women

    I have a bone to pick with our CheapToday free food...I mean, free deals editor Renee LaVoie. She is making me gain weight. This is not helpful, especially during swimsuit season. Now, I was already fighting a losing battle with my waistline anyway so it's not like she ruined a skinny girl, but still...

  • The Benefits of Being a Pack Rat

    By Yo Prinzel    Monday, May 25, 2009, 11:15 PM    Category:   Especially for Women

    When I am done with something, I am done with it. I will throw out a perfectly good measuring cup simply because I think I am not going to use it anymore (this example is based on a true story that Hubby just loves to use against me whenever he gets the chance). Even if my throwing out means that I have...

  • Memorial Day Sale Shopping

    By Yo Prinzel    Friday, May 22, 2009, 06:31 AM    Category:   Especially for Women

    Sometimes, I really wish I were a more organized person. I know there are always good sales to be had on holiday weekends, but I never save any money or write a list of the things I need and save it for a holiday sale. This weekend, there are about a gajillion Memorial Day sales to enjoy and, because...

  • Wonderful World of Etsy, Part One

    By Yo Prinzel    Wednesday, May 20, 2009, 07:06 AM    Category:   Especially for Women

    In my 33 years of life, I have known many crafty women. Now, I don’t mean crafty as in manipulative soap opera type women who know what they want and who they have to step on to get it. I mean women who can do things with a glue gun, paint brush, scissors, or whatever material that I couldn’t...

  • Should You Worry About Your Kid's College Fund?

    By Yo Prinzel    Sunday, May 17, 2009, 01:43 PM    Category:   Especially for Women

    I was talking to one of my friends the other day and she mentioned her concern over her son’s 529 college savings plan. She talked about the market, how it never seems to go up enough. How, when they first invested in the plan, the Dow was much higher than it is today and how she feels that, at...

  • Planning My Cheap Road Trip

    By Yo Prinzel    Sunday, May 17, 2009, 10:06 AM    Category:   Especially for Women

    Sometimes, the free deals that Renee LaVoie, our FreeToday editor, finds fill me with sadness. Sadness and jealousy. Don’t look at me like that, I know some of you understand what I’m talking about. Some of you, like me, don’t have a Benihana’s nearby to get your free birthday...

  • Reality Television and Deals

    By Yo Prinzel    Thursday, May 14, 2009, 05:05 AM    Category:   Especially for Women

    I am addicted to reality TV. No...seriously. I'm a real housewife of Florida and I keep up with the Kardashians. I love a good real world, road rules challenge and could totally be the biggest loser in an amazing race. I want someone to make me a supermodel, but not until I meet the millionaire matchmaker...

  • WTF? Deciphering Those Shopping Codes and Acronyms

    By Yo Prinzel    Wednesday, May 13, 2009, 06:28 AM    Category:   Especially for Women

    When we write up our deals, we try to make sure we don't use any lingo that might confuse readers or be unfamiliar to you--but we have no control over what the merchants do. Sometimes, they might even use terminology differently than you are used to. I remember when I first heard about a Payless...
