Happy New Years readers!
My husband and I went on our first date 5 years ago, yesterday technically. :)
We ate at a restaurant that is now out of business and saw a movie that no one really watches anymore and only quotes sparingly. We, however, loved the food and thought the movie was great.
If you've been around since the beginning of Tip Tuesday, by now, you're wondering where the Tip is hidden...
Well here it is!
Actually it's right here >>> Go on a 'Staycation!'
By this point in the season, if you live in the Midwest, you're sick of the weather and all the fun holidays that make the weather bearable are over.
You can sit around for six weeks waiting to see if you're as lucky as Glenn Coco or you can find something to do that's a heck of a lot more fun.
Find something new to do in the town you live in, or the neighboring towns. Something that you have never done before, or a place you have never visited because "I'm from this town, why would I go there?"
It could be a museum or a concert or even a new pizza place.
It's doesn't have to be expensive, or take hours out of your schedule, it just has to happen. K.

Tip Tuesday Chirstmas 2012 Style
I have a secret.
I know the best savings tip. Ever.
What is the best, most effective, super-duper, Christmas style, awesomest(Is that even a word? We don't care because we'll be saving so much money) money saving tip ever?
Stay home! And don't shop electronically while you're there!
Christmas has never been about money anyhow. Put away the credit cards, sit in the same room with someone and share about your lives. Watch Charlie Brown and It's a Wonderful Life while your husband does impressions of Jimmy Stewart just like the first Christmas you spent together. <3
This is the gift you'll actually remember next year and ask for again.
Merry Christmas. K.

Tip Tuesday 12-18-2012
Schedule your families yearly health check ups.
Right in the middle of cold and flu season we travel to new places for holiday gatherings and see lots of new people, exposing us to lots of new germs.
Don't wait until you have a problem that needs fixing. Stay preventative.
Eat your favorite holiday treats on the buffet but don't completely skip the veggie trays and fruit salads or you may be sneezing in the new year. K.
Only 7 days until Christmas! Are you still shopping for gifts? Or have you been done for months? Leave a comment and let me know, it's the best gift to give a blogger ;)

Tip Tuesday 12-04-2012
Lower your heating bill a great deal by setting the thermostat just two degrees lower.
C'mon, it's only TWO degrees, you can do this!
When you set your thermostat to 72 degrees or higher it causes heat strips to kick in...
..It works harder. You pay more.
It's December, stop trying to make it July inside. :) Buy some slippers, use a blanket, sit that warm laptop on your lap, long into your bank account online and decide how to budget your savings. K.

Tip Tuesday 11-27-2012
Pack your lunch!
This doesn't have to be a ritual saved for school children who lug around smelly bologna sandwiches anymore.
And packed lunches aren't just for school and work anymore either! When I'm out shopping with the babes, or even on the rare occasion I shop alone, I always pack enough snacks to make a meal.
Leftovers can easily be taken to the park or any outdoor seating area. These are the fun days your kids will remember and be grateful for, unlike that time you let them super size their fries...
Not only do you save money by packing your lunches, especially if you're using up leftovers (did you freeze those Thanksgiving leftovers?), but you save a lot of calories, and fat, and sugar, and salt, and I think you get the idea. K.
