Free Tax Prep at H&R Block (or cheap elsewhere)

January 15, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

I saw a commercial on TV the other night for free tax preparation at H&R Block. Made a mental note to look into it. So HERE is the webpage. For the right person, hey, good deal. But if you have kids you don’t qualify. Hmph.

They also have another offer where you can use their online software for free for federal, pay $39 for each state you need. But, it’s only $29 to get similar software from Turbo Tax. If you do an online search for “turbo tax discount codes” you’ll get some hits, can’t hurt to try them. I’m not ready to purchase anything yet, but I found codes for anywhere from 40% to $15 off.

Pssst….

Have I told you about Pssst? It’s a website run by General Mills to promote GM products. Easy to sign up and free to sign up. You’ll get recipes, coupons and the occasional freebie mailed to you. It’s sort of a sneak peek at new products and changes to existing products, in hopes that you’ll share the information with friends.

Whatcha doin’ this weekend?

January 15, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

I’m staying in and getting things done around the house. There are awesome clearance sales and deals to be found just about everywhere…I’ll post them as I hear them, as I have been doing. But for those of us who don’t really need anything and trying to refrain from spending money–

I’m cleaning out my closet and the boys’ closet. Getting things ready for consignment or yard sale this summer.

Cleaning out and reorganizing the food stockpile. I heard that there is a food drive on Monday at Kennett High School. Locals, you may want to check it out if you have stuff to unload. Since MLK day has turned into a day of service in many areas, check your local paper or websites, there might be food drives near you too.

I’m also going to list some of my nicer handbags & things like that, on ebay. Can’t hurt to bring in some extra cash.

February 26, 9:30 am-at the Bayard Taylor Library in Kennett Square–appearing……….yours truly…me!

Yes, we finalized a date today on holding what will hopefully be the first of many couponing/frugal living sessions. I will post more details as I finalize everything, but during this first session I plan to cover two main things. The first portion will be coupon resources–how to read a coupon and where to find coupons. (I know this might seem basic, but some folks don’t realize the many, many options besides the Sunday paper.)

The bulk of the hour will be spent going over coupon policies for Acme, Giant and Superfresh, and learning how you can stack deals to maximize your savings.

Hope to see some of you there and I’ll post info on how to register once I get it.

Oh, and it’s FREE!
