Frugal Toad Tip
A great way for saving money on major purchases is to use a price comparison website like Pricegrabber.com to find the best deal. You can sign up for email alerts that will alert you when the product you are shopping for reaches your preassigned price target. An added benefit is that by taking the time to research the best price also gives you time to rethink your purchase decision and eliminates the temptation to make an impulse purchase.

Great list & congrats on being in so many carnivals, Toad! My mother-in-law clued me in on how to remove fruit stains. Any fruit stain, including blueberries, can be removed this way. Just put the stained part under fast-running really hot water. Let the hot water run from the back side of the fabric & keep it under the hot water until the stain is gone. No soap or chemicals needed! To work best, you have to get it under the hot water as soon as possible. This really works!
I love blueberries! I’ll have to remember this next time..
By the way, I’ve included you in my March blog round-up.
