I told you it would happen. In the meantime, Amazon.com is fighting the tax with a costly referendum political campaign and then likely legal action. Not so good for this family who is leaving California for Oregon or California’s tax coffers.

Often, an excess of spending – with accompanying credit card debt, clutter and stress – prompts us to take a good hard look at our finances. We make all sorts of good resolutions: a plan to reduce our debt, a savings account for our emergency fund, and so on … and somewhere along the way, we pick up the idea that we should only spend money on absolute essentials. We might start off sensibly, cutting down on unnecessary spending to put some money aside for the future. But before long, we end up obsessing about every penny, denying ourselves even tiny treats like a weekly coffee or a magazine, because it’s a “waste of money”. Are You Enslaved by Your Money? Usually,...

Fortunately, play dough is surprisingly easy to make from scratch! I love knowing what’s in it and that it is truly non-toxic, and I love experimenting with different colors and scents! I find homemade dough to be superior to store-bought. It’s smoother, smells better, and can be made in large quantities. The recipe below can be halved if you want to make a small amount of a variety of colors, or it can be doubled to make a gallon-sized bag worth. It takes about 15 minutes to make, and I recommend cleaning the pot before the dough dries in it! This recipe makes a quart-sized bag. To celebrate fall, this time I made pumpkin-pie scented orange play dough. Basic Play Dough Recipe 2 cups flour 2 cups warm water 1...

While special nursing clothes are certainly not necessary (and can be very pricey!), these patterns provide a frugal option for nursing mothers. In addition to the free instructions for breastfeeding projects available here on Breastfeeding 1-2-3, I have compiled a list of sources for sewing patterns for breastfeeding clothes.

Whilst normally you would keep pasta a a rolling boil, for this a simmer and then a dunk in iced water works much better.Now if that isn't the cheapest frugal children's meal around the bazaars at the moment I'll eat my hat, just please don't ask me to eat either the pasta or the hot dogs.To finish it off a quick Bechamel or cheese sauce would be ideal, especially with a splash of blue food colou...

Shirley Kindrick, a registered dietician at the Ohio State University Medical Center, makes a good point. She says, “Selecting healthy food items is always important, but in an economy where money may be in short supply (and) families are under stress and people may be working longer hours or two jobs, a good diet is the basic foundation for staying healthy.” Or, as my grandma used to say, you can’t burn the candle at both ends! One tip for saving money while eating healthy is simply to serve a smaller portion of meat. Many people eat portions too large anyway, so instead serve a piece that is about as big as a deck of ca...

My tip is not strictly for breastfeeding, although I did share a reader’s tip yesterday on a frugal choice for a nursing bra, and I have previously written about Five Money-Saving Alternatives to Traditional Nursing Clothing, and I have several tutorials on how to make your own Hooter Hider-Type Nursing Cover, Knitted Nursing Tank Top, Pullover Crew Neck Baby Bib, Baby Bib with Neck Ties, Ring Sling, Nursing Necklace, Nursing Pads, Baby Booties, Cloth Diapers, Nursing Pillow, Nursing Shirt, Nursing Bra and Pumping Bra, Cloth Diapers, and More.

Maureen raved about the JCPenney Fancy Me Sleep/Leisure Bra: After several bouts with mastitis aggravated (I believe) by the ubiquitous underwire nursing bra, I sought out a less binding, and less expensive option – one that I could throw in the wash without fear of the “hand-wash” only label. I found the JC Penney Fancy Me Sleep/Leisure Bra to be perfect. Comfortable, easy to use, and the price is right – only $12-14 online at jcpenney.com. It may not be free, but the price is excellent and the value superb. FYI: I work full-time and just finished nursing baby #2 for 1...

One of those suggestions was to come up with a combination of clothing that makes you feel most comfortable breastfeeding in public. 5 Alternatives to Regular Nursing Clothing While it’s great if you can afford nursing clothing (see Where to Find Nursing Clothes) and can find styles that you like, there are other options. 1. Layer a button-down blouse over a tank top. When you lift up (or pull down) the tank top to nurse, the sides of the open blouse will offer coverage. 2. Layer a regular shirt over a loose-necked tank top. To nurse, lift the shirt up, pull the neck of the tank top down to expose the breast, and your belly will remain covered by the tank top. Or instead of pulling down the tank top, you could cut slits in the tank...
