Hi to all of you who popped in from BG for the Carnival!!! If that’s not why you are here you can scroll past this article (it will appear at the top all week) BUT I would encourage you to read this post and check out the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival for some serious FUN!
We are a team of two SAHM who wanted to make shopping and saving money a little simpler for our family and our Mommy and Daddy friends! BeCentsAble came to us after several months of researching ways to cut back (inspired by Dave Ramsey!). We each have two children under 3, one hardworking husband (although not as hard as us!), two big dogs and a passion for this frugal thing (while making life simpler of course!)
Chrissy and I (Kristin) have learned a lot about this blogging thing in a short, short, short amount of time! Believe it or not, neither of us knew what a blog was until about October of last year.
We try to feature relevant, mainstream ideas. We realize that being frugal takes a lot of commitment and it needs to be simple to employ and simple to maintain. We look for all the best deals, tell you EXACTLY how to get them, help you hold yourself accountable, celebrate your own frugality and hope you will let us know how it went for you.
Here are some of our blogging highlights! Check them out when you can
- Monday and Thursday Grocery Gatherings: Here we partner with over 15 other blogs to bring you all the great drugstore and grocery deals from across the country as well as online deals and freebies. This is continually evolving so check back if your store isn’t on the list (or maybe you’d like to be featured??)!
- Menu Plan Monday and Works For Me Wednesday (you’ve probably heard of these :)!
- Tipster Tuesday: great household and shopping tips (currently we are highlighting our gardening adventures!)
- *Coming Soon* Family Tip Friday: here we will highlight a great family tip we have either found or use in our own homes! We invite everyone to join in and share their family tips!
- Centsable Shopper Show & Tell Giveaway in conjunction with the Grocery Challenge! We have a giveaway hosted by a different blog each weekend. Share your frugal challenges and successes and hold yourself accountable!
- We highlight and hold our own occasional giveaways for other things (see post here) and have lots of very useful information for those new to frugal shopping or interested in details of shopping at a particular store!
- Toy and Food Recalls from CPSC and FDA
- Last but not least…we love to share our shopping trips with you – the good and the bad!
For the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival we’ll be giving away a set of these adorable (Earth Friendly) “Pretty Little Pink Bags” from 1 Bag At A Time. TO be entered to win all you have to do is comment on THIS POST about your favorite feature on our blog (or a store we can add to the Grocery Gathering!)
Good Luck and thanks for coming by!!!
