For Frugal Date Friday this week, we are going to rise and shine and enjoy the morning! What better way to begin your day than setting aside some time for the one you love?
You can either make your spouse their favorite breakfast at home or go somewhere special.
If you decide to cook at home, it’s perfectly acceptable to go a little cheesy. Think heart shaped pancakes and eggs. It’s a great idea for every kitchen to have a set of heart shaped cookie cutters. You can even serve it to him breakfast in bed style.
If you want to go out, pick a cute little breakfast place. Take time to sip coffee slowly and talk about things other than your kids. Breakfast is usually one of the cheaper meals at restaurants, so it’s a frugal way eat out.
This is a great chance to check in with your spouse and show him how much you appreciate him before the busyness of the day.
What is your favorite breakfast tradition?

Have you packed your shoe boxes yet? With all the deals that we find in stores, Operation Christmas Child is the perfect way to use your mad shopping skills for good. Take your toothpaste, toothbrush and soap deals and pair that with great crayon deals and small toys to bring the joy of Christmas to kids all over the world.
A few years ago I got to go and personally deliver these boxes to kids in Haiti. When we drove into the first town we saw kids playing with used motor oil bottles they had turned into a car, and many many children with no toys at all. The kids get their boxes and then wait patiently to all open them together. As we count down from 4 (that’s their custom) the kids ripped into their boxes with the more glee then some of them looked like they had ever had. Their happiness brings tears to my eyes to type about it.
Of eveything in these boxes, what did they love the most? Cheap sunglasses, and letters. I want you to realize that packing a shoe box doesn’t mean spending a lot of money, it’s about filling a small box with things that would make a child smile. Please write a small note in your box, they will find someone that can read English to them and the kids love it. Some kids stop and didn’t look at anything else in the box until the had the note read for them.
Are you ready to get started?
Grab a shoebox or a small shoebox sized plastic box and get packing! To help get you in the spirit watch Si from Duck Dynasty pack his very first box this year.
I’ll share a list of deals later tonight to help you get started.
If you’re in the market for a point and shoot camera, you don’t want to miss this deal! You can get an extra $50 off all clearance and discontinued cameras with this Staples Coupon Code.
Use the code 49926 to get the deal. The best deals will sell out quickly, so shop now!
The small cameras are great for kids and to keep in your purse.
Heads up, when you put the coupon in your cart it will say it is good for camera’s $99 + but it will apply to your order, just keep going through checkout.
