College Cooking 101:
Forget the ramen
When your kids were little, you sent them off to school with newly sharpened No. 2 Ticonderoga pencils, a box of Crayolas and a Rugrats lunchbox. Now that they are in college, packing gets a bit more complicated, not to mention expensive. There’s the trip to the bedding store, the search for the perfect desk lamp, the “must have” mini-fridge and a plastic bin full of computer cables, printer cartridges, cell-phone chargers, iPod earphones ... the list goes on and on. What it probably DOESN’T include is a cookbook. But it should.

Easy homemade gifts for kids
It’s never too early to get organized for the holidays. Don’t be a last-minute shopper. Get a jump-start on your gift list now. What homemade gifts have you made?

Feeling fine? Don’t overlook wellness cookbooks
 It’s easy to overlook a good cookbook. You are not a diabetic, so why would a diabetic cookbook appeal? Likewise, your interest in tomes written for people with Crohn’s disease or the lactose-intolerant or those with allergies to gluten will probably not draw your interest unless you are suffering from any of those conditions.

Get motivated by like-minded people
Frugal living can be hard to live long term. But you’re not alone. Many readers comment about ways they stay motivated. Most agree that it’s reassuring they aren’t the only frugal people trying to waste less, make things last longer, reduce debt, and save money. And that choosing to be frugal doesn’t mean you’re cheap or deprived.

Coupon organizing 101
If you clip coupons, you’ll want to organize them. You want to find the coupons you need quickly so you don’t miss out on any money-saving opportunities. Creating the best system depends largely on how many coupons you clip and use. For some people, a paper clip will suffice, and for others an entire plastic caddy is the only way to go. Organizing coupons will help you weed out any that are soon expiring or are already expired, too. How do you organize your coupons?

Mussels: An affordable luxury

Sandwiches not just for lunch anymore
Think “sandwich” and you think lunchbox, lunchroom and picnic lunch. The operative word being, of course, “lunch.” But sandwiches can make wonderful suppers, and they tend to have the added benefit of involving a minimum of cooking and also quick cleanup.

Eight things your baby really doesn’t need
New parents can have a tough time being frugal. There are so many baby products available. Some are easier to do without than others. Whether or not a baby product is useless is debatable. But you can adopt a few frugal strategies to save money, such as buying some used baby items and putting the word out that you’ll accept hand-me-downs, borrowing items and delaying purchases for items that aren’t needed immediately, such as highchairs.

On the verge of the Great Emergence?
