When someone mentions the Duck brand I immediately think “Duck” tape! I’ve done some fun things with that stuff over the last year, like decorating some Halloween Jack O Lanterns and making a custom magnetic locker set for Princess. And of course around the house we also Duck tape to do all sorts of expedient… Keep Reading
Review: Oral B Professional Care 1000
I’m a big believer in regular dental care–I guess it’s because my mom was always big on it. Growing up she made sure all five of us went to the dentist every 6 months. We got fluoride treatments, regular x-rays and when they first came out with those dental sealants for your rear molars she… Keep Reading
Review: Quaker Perfect Portions Oatmeal
Oatmeal seems to be one of those things that you either love or you hate. Princess and I love a nice warm bowl of oatmeal in the morning. Buddy and Yankee Bill? Not so much! Oh well, their loss–and more oatmeal for us! Not only is oatmeal tasty (or at least I think so) but… Keep Reading
Why I Love ALDI — At The Holidays and Everyday!
I love ALDI. Good food. Great prices. What’s not to love? So when I was given the chance to get a $25 ADLI gift certificate and the chance to talk to you all about ALDI, well, to say I jumped on it would probably be understating it 🙂 For those of you not familiar with… Keep Reading
Review: Faded Glory Fleece Bonded Hoodie and Danskin Sport Fleece

Using the “Bluebird” American Express Card
So a month ago I told you all about the Bluebird card–a new debit card alternative from Walmart & American Express. They asked me not only to tell you all about the card, but to use it for a month and then talk about the experience. Well, it’s a month 🙂 As you remember, I… Keep Reading
My Kitchen Arrived! ~Maytag Moms
Remember this summer when I told you that I had been chosen as a Maytag Mom Kitchen Ambassador? Well it arrived about a month ago, and I love it! The Maytag Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator with Spill Catcher Shelves the 6.2 cu. Ft. Capacity Electric Range with Triple-Choice and Speed Heat Elements and the Maytag Jetclean Plus… Keep Reading
Review: Gingerbread Oreos
I just love trying new things. And I love Oreos–so I was right on the offer from Walmart to try out the new limited edition Gingerbread Oreos. Gingerbread is such a fun seasonal flavor. It’s just one of those things–the leaves change color, the air turns slightly damp, the thermometer starts to drop and suddenly… Keep Reading
Review and Giveaway: Rubbermaid 2-in-1 Recycler
Here at the Frugal Upstate household we recycle. Plastic and glass we don’t plan on re-using go to the curb every other Tuesday. Paper as well. We compost-even the centers of toilet paper tubes and dryer lint go outside to the compost pile. Food scraps get fed to the dog, composted, or fed to the… Keep Reading
