September 18, 2010 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 3 Comments

Walmart stores nationwide have new “Tonight’s Menu” meal solution destinations in the grocery and/or freezer sections. So what does that mean?

Giveaway & Coupon: Clorox Toilet Wand

October 12, 2009 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate

Those of you who have read me for a while know that I’m pretty much a homemade cleaner kind of gal.  I find that bleach, Bon Ami, baking soda, vinegar and plain old “joy” dish soap can tackle most messes around my house. I also am not big on “disposable” things.  I’d prefer to use… Keep Reading

You know, I always forget about Kmart.  Our local Kmart, 20 minutes away in Binghamton, NY, is a bit off the beaten path for me.  When I need to do “one stop shopping” I tend to think of some of their big competitors~all of whom are on the huge shopping strip across town. But a… Keep Reading
