Dana over at The Coupon Challenge has finished her Harris Teeter Super Doubles Matchups. Thanks, Dana! I’ve been buried in work and haven’t had a time to get down to business with the list.

I’m updating the master list for Harris Teeter Triples Matchups, but I’d set this aside yesterday and just now looked it up. My bad! That Q was from the insert my sister sent me from California.

The “Learn to be Frugal” Workshop at the Chesapeake Central Library yesterday was a great success. It was a small group, which suited me fine since I’m not comfortable in front of large crowds. The small size of the class also made it possible for a lot of interaction and I learned several great tips.

Thanks to Cheri for this tip:

Check the meat section at Harris Teeter for mark-downs on stuffed-meat entrees in the gourmet meat department at or just after 3pm for super savings. I’ll have to give that a try in the next week or so.

I’m excited to be teaching a class on Frugal Living this week at the Central Library in Chesapeake. It’s free and open to the public. I’m not selling anything or hyping a program… I just want to share my love for living well on less money.

A few weeks ago, a very good friend of mine held a clothing swap. The last one she held at her house was so successful, that this time she chose to use the parish hall at her church to accommodate the almost 40 people who came.

If you’re not familiar with the concept, its a gathering of people (usually women) who bring in all the clothes they no longer want and then “shop” the clothes brought by others. No money changes hands. There isn’t a minimum “donation” and one is welcome to take whatever clothing they desire. What nobody wants goes to charity. (My friend’s swap was so successful that there were probably 500 or more articles of clothing donated to charity.)
