    Great topics and it’s really hard to pick just one.

    But since I have pick only one, I am going with #2 Frugal Holiday Entertaining (Spooky).

    I have a large family and love to entertain, especially around the holidays, I think this is the best one.

    I vote for #4. It’s no use having coupons and keeping them if I can’t find them. And until recently, I didn’t see the value in keeping the entire ad or at least every coupon from it.
