Money Saving Tips (uuuh, what blog are we on?)

Okay, the title of this blog post should make you giggle only because if you know anything about me, you might know that "money saving tips" NEVER shows up on this blog. For that stuff, you can go to Christi's web site. Suriusly.

I mean, I can cut a coupon with the best of them, use a few, and then find the rest wadded up in the bottom of my purse...expired. I also can make a mean menu for about a week at a time with about 7 weeks in between. Still, I am skilled enough (and smart enough) to always use a list when going to the grocery store, and to make sure my tum-tum is full-full so I won't by the Ho-Ho's. (It almost never works.)

Coupons = saving money
Cheap Wal-Mart and Target brand = saving money
CVS card = saving money
Making a list = saving money
Using the cheapest conditioner and mousse = saving money, and wouldn't you know, gave me some of the best hair I've had in months!

That's right folks, I recently switched from the oh-so expensive brand of Tresemme, and went for the cheap-o-deep-o brand of Suave only to find my hair lighter, curlier, and not bogged down with mouse and what-not (hat tip to Uncle Rico every time I use that word.)

I'm telling you. Don't buy into (some) of the lies that more expensive is better! (Unless we're talking about a real Coach bag or a lame fake one. I'll take you to task.) (Oh, and you can't count fake Oreo's either. There is no substitute for a real Oreo. Amen and Amen)

Now, where was I? Oh yes, cheap conditioner.

You see, I don't shampoo my naturally curly hair. I do scrub it under hot water and just use conditioner. Then I use mousse, blow it dry, and squirt some hairspray, and I'm done. So, I've been using the large bottles of Tresemme, and decided I was spending that near $5 anymore! No sirree! I was jumping down to the $2.69 bottle of Suave conditioner and the $3.19 in mousse! (Dave Ramsey would be so proud.) I was scared, but, holy smokes! who knew that hair could look better with a cheaper product!?

Sneaky hair-do people.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure I'm loading my hair down with all sorts of additives and wax and what-not, but who cares! It's my hair and I'm going to treat it cheap if I want.

Money saving tip = GO CHEAP! (except on Coach and Oreos)
