Money Mondays

Dear Fugalista Lifers~
Welcome to our new weekly segment called Money Monday. Check back here every Monday for tips on saving, spending and using your money wisely. We will be introducing new tools to help you keep track of your spending and hopefully save some bucks in the process!
Welcome to Money Monday.... today's tip:

Keep your receipts!
Keep your receipts for at least a year- or more! You'll be amazed at what you can write off during tax season and get some of that hard-earned cash back! Go to Target and get a clearance box and toss your receipts in there and go through once a month and separate by category and bind with a paperclip. Come tax season, you'll be glad you did.

A Call to Arms!

Hey Friends of Frugalista Life!

I have a dream and need your help! My goal is to reach 300 official followers for this blog by October 31st! So, please let your friends, families and co-workers know and follow yourself if you're not already doing so!

It's simple!
Right now, scroll down and to your left, you will see a "Follow" button. Just click that and you're officially a Frugalista Life follower!

Now- here's the sweet part. If we reach 300 followers by October 31st, I will have a random drawing and give away a goodie bag to our lucky winner!

So, remember, frugalistas (and frugalistos), spread the word and spread the the fabulousness.

PR & Contact Information

Welcome to Frugalista Life! As a bust working woman, I am very open to finding new products, books, and services to review, which cater to other busy women or stay-at-home moms who need to pinch pennies. The main base of my readers consists of other women, so I am particularly interested in doing reviews of products, books, and services that will help make their hectic lives a little easier. I value the respect of my readers, and I will provide one hundred percent honest opinions of every product I review. Doing reviews gives my readers a good sense of how and why a particular product, book, or service can be beneficial to them in their daily lives.

I am also open to doing giveaways in addition to reviews. Giveaways are a great way to get more people interested in your product, and they also help me to provide a nice reward for loyal readers of Frugalista Life. Giveaways provide a reciprocal relationship that is beneficial to both me, to my readers, and to the company who manufactures the product.

Before posting any review or giveaway, I do require that the product be sent to me first to make sure that it is something that I feel comfortable recommending to my readers. If I receive the product and truly feel that it is not something that would be beneficial to my readers, I will be sure to contact you before posting a review.

If you think that you have a product, book, or service that would be enjoyable to me and to the people who read Frugalista regularly, please do not hesitate to contact me via email at frugalistalife@gmail.com.

We are also open to advertising opportunities as well, so please contact me via email at frugalistalife@gmail.com if you would like to discuss becoming a sponsor for this website.Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to working with you.
