Welcome to “Cents”able Momma
Hi, and welcome to “Cents”able Momma. I am married to a wonderful husband and stay at home with 2 rambunctious, but fun boys (7 and 4).
I’ve always been a “frugal” person, but I discovered the land of frugal blogs in May of 2008 where I learned even more techniques. God led me to those blogs, because about 2 weeks later I was unexpectedly laid off from my at-home part-time job. I didn’t work many hours at home, but it was enough to earn some extra money for my family. So, now, I could save money for my family.
I intend to share what I’ve learned from playing the Drugstore Game (as it’s called…shopping for “free” items at CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid), and share some of the good deals that I happen to run across. I’ll also share some of my techniques for earning some extra money here and there
I am by no means perfect at this, but I hope to share some of my frugal journey with others and help link them to others that can help them too. I am trying to be the steward of our family resources that God wants me to be.

If you would like to contact me, my e-mail address is centsablemomma AT gmail DOT com. I am PR friendly.
Corrie is a "cents"able wife and stay-at-home mom of 2 boys.

Hi, I found your website through the baby center website and am very interested in learning how to save money. I am the proud mother to a beautiful 7 1/2 week old girl, a wife to a fabulous hubby, as well as being a part time student and stay at home mom. I would love any advice that you can possibly give me, at 32 this is my first child and I really don’t know what I’m doing. I am used to working full time and making decent money while going to school (bartending/server/assistant wine director), and haven’t really had to “bargain” shop before and don’t know where to start. This website is a Godsend after my late evening excursion to Meijer, where I found myself a little overboard in the money department since they carry everything. I would like to know how I can cut corners, find good coupons (diapers, babycare, food, etc.), and possibly earn a little income to help contribute to my family if at all possible. I can be contacted at deytonya@yahoo.com, thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
I enjoy your blog. I am new to blogging and I am trying to get to as many blogs as possible to see what is out there. I don’t think I have ever spent so much time online in my life! My blog is about being fashionable on a budget, but I also have recipes, coupons for clothing at various places for adults and children. I just wanted to tell you that I have added your button to my blog, and was wondering if you could add me to your blogroll. I really would like to make some bloggy buddies. I hope to talk to you soon, Gema
where at in michigan are you located?
I too, wanted to know what general area of Michigan you’re in! It is great to find bloggers in this state! Most that I know are in states with stores I’ve never heard of!
I’m in the metro Detroit area

Little Budget Helper For Complete Spending Control
G’day !
My name is Mark Ellis (an ex-pat Aussie living in Southern California) & I represent the Spendtracker – a small & simple to use budget calculator that people are using to successfully control their spending.
Unlike other budget products, the Spendtracker is the only electronic product that fits in your purse/wallet so you can track your spending to your budget when you spend money – in real time.
The Spendtracker not only keeps track of all your spending across 10 categories but it also tracks spending against a pre-set budget amount which gives you continuous control over how much you have left to spend across each category.
The Spendtracker gives people the direct control over their spending they need when sticking to a budget & is ideal for moms who control the family budget, students who want to learn a quick & easy way to budget, or anybody else who wants to stick to a budget.
For more information, you can visit http://www.spendtrackerusa.com
I would love to discuss the Spendtracker with you at your earliest convenience & see if you would be interested in receiving a free sample? Our goal is to raise awareness on how easy it can be to create & stick to a budget.
We can offer your readers a discount too & we have an affiliate program.
Regards

Thank you sweetie!! Be Blessed,

Hi Joyce,

I’ve tried to subscribe to the newsletter but I can’t activate my subscription. The email that is sent to me tells me to click the link and the link sends an email to my address—it is weird. I would like to activate the subscription but it won’t work.
That’s odd! I just subscribed to my site with a secondary e-mail address that I have, and I didn’t have any problems. I do see your e-mail address as still pending under subscribers.
The only thing I can think of is to go directly to Feedblitz (my e-mail newsletter program) and create an account. Then click on Subscriptions to manage the subscription and click “Activate”.
I hope that helps, and I apologize that you’re having so many problems!
I’m having the same problem… did you figure it out?
Found your site while shopping for a DVD, The Shunning. Was excited to see that I could be entered in contest for a free DVD. Enjoyed the good savings, coupons etc available. Will visit you often!
Enjoying your website
Hello!
I am writing to you today from Prosper.com, a peer to peer lending company that provides borrowers and lenders an alternative to the banks. Borrowers get better rates and lenders get better returns. Prosper.com has been in business since 2006, and originated almost $300,000,000 in loans on its platform.
Many financial bloggers like to write about the peer-to-peer lending industry occasionally as it’s of interest to their readers. We stay in touch with financial bloggers by sharing special information about the industry and what Prosper is up to, about once a month. If you would like to be a part of our Blogger Outreach List and receive this information, please let us know. In addition, we have a robust affiliate program as well, which if you are interested, we can tell you more about.
If you have any questions please see our website, http://www.Prosper.com or feel free to contact me personally.
