Here’s a random list of some great money saving links that I’ve collected this week.

Give a Day to Charity.  Get a Day at Disney!

Starting January 1, 2010, when you sign up and volunteer for a day with a participating organization, you get free one-day admission to Walt Disney World or Disneyland.  I love this idea and hope to participate in the coming year!

Starting this week, New York State police are cracking down on drivers talking on cell phones.  If you are caught talking on your cell while driving you will face a $160 fine.  Save money and hang up!

Boston Market just announced a new promotion which runs through October 31, 2009.  Two kids can eat free all day, every day.  All that is required is a minimum purchase of $6 and your kids must be present to take advantage of this offer.  Also, this promotion can’t be used with any other promotion or coupon.  If you have kids, this is a great deal!  More...

My boyfriend got a gift certificate for P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and we finally got around to using it this weekend.  P.F. Chang’s is one of the signature restaurants built into the East View Mall and we had both been wanting to give it a try for a while.  Was it any good?  And the bigger question for this blog – can you find any good deals?

The Price-Rite grocery chain is relatively new to Rochester.  In the last couple of years, three locations have opened in the Rochester area – 375 Driving Park Ave, 1230 University Ave, and 3333 W Henrietta Road.  I’m a little embarrassed to say that I’ve never shopped there, but to open three stores in such a little time frame, they must be doing something right!

I decided it was high time to check it out!  So I started out to answer a couple of questions:

What is the overall experience shopping at PriceRite?

And more importantly, can you save money at PriceRite?

I’ve heard from some people that they’re not sure how to get the best deals at Walgreens.  Hopefully to clear things up, I’ve written up a little primer to help you understand how it all works.

I like to think of myself as crafty.  As many of you crafty people know, Michaels is the Holy Grail for everything crafty.  I could spend hours just going up and down the aisles looking at all the little gadgets and supplies.  Unfortunately, all those little items can be pricy and they add up in a hurry.  Since I’m always looking to save money, I’ve come up with a strategy to get the most for my money.

There were a lot of freebees (or better than free) at Walgreens this week so make sure you stop in if you need any of these items.  The items in blue are free.  The items in red are better than free.
