It’s Party Time! Excellent!

by GettingFreedom on March 20, 2009

It’s party time! 5 Minutes for Mom is hosting their annual Ultimate Blog Party, and there are lots of great prizes at stake (any of which I would love to win!). Be sure to check in on the action, if you haven’t already!

Come on in for the party, and sit down a relax for a bit.


Partying will wear a girl out! Help yourself to some Blueberry Streusel or anything else you can find around here.

I’m Phoebe and I love to talk about all things frugal, including gardening, cooking from scratch, and our quest to getting out of debt. We’re learning all about the simple life and it’s many pleasures, and I would love for you to join in! I also host a feature called Finding Freedom Fridays where we all gather to share different frugal ideas and help each other find freedom from debt. Be sure to come back and share your tips!

I won’t keep you too long, but feel free to subscribe to my blog feed, or you can catch up with me on Twitter.

Be sure to visit all of the other parties goin‘ on and get in on the fun!

Okay chickie, I need you to motivate me to get out of debt! Granted, we only have our mortgage and school loans, but it feels like we’re going to pay on both forever, so why bother trying to pay them off when you’re already on a tight budget. Okay, your turn, help me! :)

Happy Partying! Frugal 1 – meet Frugal 2! Haha! :) Blueberries…yummy and GOOD for you!! Great “frugal” fun for a four year old (my son) – picking blueberries! We always look forward to that – and not only is it free, it actually saves money in BUYING them! Those little suckers are expensive! Hehehe… :)

Hey there! Stopping by via the UBP, I’m also trying to get debt free as well. That is the main thrust of my blog. =)

That is impressive how much you saved last year in coupons. I recently discovered the world of coupons and am just beginning now to start using them in all their greatness.

Nice to meet you!

Hi Phoebe. The Blueberry Streusel looks delicious. I started couponing a few months ago and oh my goodness, I had no idea how much money I was literally throwing away. I get so many things for free or close to free now. It is awesome! I had one cashier at Walgreen’s say to me the other day: It looks like we are paying YOU to shop here. Anyway, good luck as your strive for Financial Peace.
