Contacting Atlanta's Frugal Mom

In desperate need of contacting  Atlanta's Frugal Mom?   I can be reached in a variety of ways:  You can shoot me an email . Or if that's a bit old fashioned for your blood, message me through my Facebook page.  I even have a contact form right there.   I'm still a Twitter novice, but starting to get the hang of it. Then, of course, you can leave a comment here on the blog.... And if all else fails, try smoke signals.  I look up at the sky at exactly 11:38 p.m. nightly.   Service unreliable during inclement weather.

Finding (and Stocking Up On) Cheap Diapers!

Recently, I was asked how the heck I manage such a feat.  With this question, I realized I've overlooked explaining a few basics to y'all.  So, I will happily reveal my diaper-buying secrets.  :o) (And, yes, most of these tips can be applied to just about anything you frequently buy.)

Shady Business Practices

I plan to post more on this later, after I fully get back in the swing of things, but I wanted to go ahead and let y'all know, I will no longer be endorsing restaurants.com or Vista Print.  My family has been directly burned from restaurants.com, and the more I research, the more I see Vista Print connected to the same shady practices. What is it they say about an offer being too good to be true?  Yep, sometimes this is the case. In the meantime, I'm off to the Apple store tomorrow after work, and will hopefully be more "connected" after my iPhone is fixed.  (Fingers crossed for a fast, easy, and CHEAP fix! )
