This showed up yesterday on The “Cent”sible Sawyer - coupons for organic goods. I would save it for Friday, but some of these things can expire quickly, so I’d advise jumping right on it.

This week, Free Money Finance wrote about MSN’s article on five foods it’s cheaper to grow and five foods it’s cheaper to buy. I added a comment that I think berries (strawberries) are cheaper to grow, and onions aren’t worth it (too space-hogging). What “crops” are worth it to you?
One of the biggest queries [...]

Just saw this (via Slickdeals.net) - if you are in the market for a whole set of cookware, check it out! We do not have this cookware, although we have some KitchenAid utensils and an omelet pan that are excellent.

Here are three four great articles I stumbled across this week.
