I LOVE to shop. I also try to save money when shopping, especially when shopping online. Many retailers offer printable coupons which I often take advantage of because any savings is extra money kept in my bank account. When I am shopping online, I always look a coupon codes before I hit that purchase button.

I have saved hundreds if not thousands of dollars throughout the years using online coupon codes with my online purchases. There are lots of different coupon websites that offer a search feature for different online merchants making finding coupons easier.

For those of you that live in Canada, I recommend visiting the coupon site CouponCodes.ca. Below is a screenshot of the site.

This site has a ton of different online Canadian coupons that you will want to take advantage of! Why now save money if you can?

If you use coupon codes like I do, what are your favorite sites to use?

This winter has definitely been a cold one. While I live in sunny California, there are days when it isn’t so sunny and there is a need to turn on the heater. Since I am one of those moms that is frugal and always trying to save money, I have been looking for ways to save on the heating bill, so I have more money to spend on other things.

For those of you that like to use your heater, but don’t like the bill each month, I have some tips that you can use to help cut down your bill.

•  Keep the doors closed – This is a great way to avoid the cold air from escaping in. If you have to open the door, do it fast!
• Invest in warm blankets – If you use multiple blankets that will keep you warm, you might be able to turn the thermostat down.
•  Use your ceiling fan – Heat rises! Set your ceiling fan on low and set it to circulate the air up instead of down.
• Trap the leaks around your windows – Using caulk, you can seal your windows to prevent any unwanted drafts.
• Use a programmable thermostat – Keep your auto function on, and set to a low, warm temperature.
• Cover up the door drafts – For those with a draft under your door, use a blanket to block it. Doing this will help prevent your heat from escaping.

These are just a few ways to help save money on your heating bill that I thought I would share. I know I am probably not the only one looking to save money on utility bills.

Saving money on your utilities can help you have extra money for those of you looking for a little debt relief. I have saved money through the years to pay off credit card bills that I created once I turned 18. I learned that I only want to spend what I have and cut up the credit cards. Luckily I got help from a debt management company that showed me how paying just a little extra on each of your bills will help you pay off debt faster.

I have a bad habit of bookmarking websites and letting my bookmarks pile up. My bookmarks can really et unorganized because I like to bookmark. Sometimes I will bookmark in a rush and if the website owner doesn’t have the title correctly put on the page I am bookmarking, whatever my browser thinks the title is, will be the name of that website in my bookmarks.

For those sites that have pages called “Untitled”, I probably won’t be finding you very soon in my bookmarks.

I have now found a neat way to organize my bookmarks where I have a visual instead of a description. I have signed up with clipix and just started to bookmark and organize my recipes along with recipes that I have bookmarked that I want to make.

Here is a screenshot of what my Clipix “My Recipes” Clipboard looks like.

With Clipix, you put a little bookmarker on your browser’s toolbar, then when you are on a page you want to bookmark, you click the bookmarker and it will popup with a box to add your bookmark. Here is what it looks like to bookmark with Clipix.

Like I mentioned before, I am using this site to keep track of my bookmark for recipes. With a visual bookmark for my food recipes, it is going to be easy to find what I need when I am ready to get cooking. Here are some other ideas for bookmarking you might want to use:
