Magazine Subscriptions

Still don't know what to get that certain someone who seems to have everything already, or that hard to buy for relative, or maybe its a neice or nephew that you don't really know much about, well try a magazine subscription.

Magazine subscriptions make the perfect gift because they keep on giving each month or week they are delivered. Now that November is here and the Christmas holiday is fast approaching, you can find magazines that will offer you discounts or free gifts. Most magazines will also send your recipient a nice card letting them know that they will be receiving a subscription courtesy of you. Magazine subscriptions SAVE you time and money.

An example of this: While standing in line at the grocery store the other day, the cover of Family Fun magazine caught my eye, so I purchased the magazine. Later that evening, I began looking through the magazine when one of those little index sized subscription cards fell out and it read "2 subscriptions for the price of 1" and the price was only $14.95 for 10 issues. This is a SAVINGS!! Perfect for me, as I will now be able to cross off two moms on my Christmas list. This gift will not only benefit the moms but also the children in the house.

Coupon Sharing

We all know that we can SAVE money using coupons but what if we could SAVE a little time also. A majority of us who use coupons probably get them out of the Sunday newspaper. Well I have another way for you to get coupons. Of course you can search the web, as there are many sites that offer printable coupons. (I will list some of those later), but what about coupon sharing. Coupon sharing is just that, sharing. Coupon sharing is where you, your family, your friends or a group of any type get together and share or swap coupons. If you cant find a Coupon Share Group in your area, start one yourself. Its not a necessity to have a group, start with you and your best friend or your neighbor but the more the merrier and the more coupons to select from. I personally swap with a coworker and a friend who lives out of town, so our only expense is the cost of a stamp. Swapping can take place at anytime, in passing or a gathering at someones home where you can swap and eat. With everyone pitching in coupons you are SAVING time by not having to clip them yourself and you are SAVING money from all the coupons you have acquired.

Easy Taco Dip

Today I am going to share a simple recipe that you can throw together quickly and easily. This recipe will SAVE you time in the kitchen and can be used on any occasion such as last minute BBQ's or just snacking around the house.

Easy Taco Dip

16 oz Cream Cheese
8 oz Sour Cream
1 pkg Taco Seasoning
Shredded Cheese
Lettuce Chopped
1 Tomato Diced Small
Dipping Chips - your choice

Mix together your cream cheese and sour cream (I use my hand mixer) until well blended
Add your taco seasoning (using hand mixer) until well blended
Spread your mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 9 dish of any type (glass, stone, plastic)
Layer your last 3 ingredients - cheese, lettuce and tomato on top to your preference (no limit)
Now dip away with the chips of your choice

HINT - I use a plastic Rubbermaid container w/lid purchased at the dollar store (SAVINGS), this way I can easily cover the dish for storage in the refrigerator if there should be left overs.
