Hi everyone! Just wanted to give a shout out letting you all know that I will not be posting any deals this weekend.

I have been on overload the last couple of weeks and need to take a couple days off. I also have my very last grad school paper to write and some abandoned friends to reconnect with.

But don’t worry! I will be back Monday with a full lineup of store deals and lots of coupons and free samples.

By the way…for what stores would you like to see weekly deals? I plan to add more stores and I’d really like to start with those my current readers can use.    So let me know by leaving a comment!

Have a great weekend!!

In the beginning of the year, I posted my goals for 2010 . Among other goals, I planned to read 1 book each month. This goal did not go so well. It is now the end of February and I haven’t finished the book I started in January.

I have tons of really good excuses for why I missed this goal.  I’ve been working on my Master’s degree and that has taken up a big chunk of my time.  I also work full time, have 2 kids, and a household to run (not to mention keeping up with this blog).

But let’s be honest.   I knew these things existed when I made the goal.  I just didn’t make it a priority.  I am a firm believer in choices.  We all make choices that affect our lives.  We choose to spend our money one way over another.  Likewise, we choose to spend our time one way over another.  And I chose to use my time doing things other than reading.

However, I will not let this discourage me from jumping back in with both feet and starting fresh in March.  I will not change my goal; instead, I will change my thinking.  I can read while I’m on the treadmill instead of watching TV and in other instances.  I just need to choose to do it.

So how is everyone else doing with their goals?  Are you staying on track or has your goal train been completely derailed?  Let me know!!

Click here to print your coupon worth $1.00 off 1 Lip Smacker!  These are pretty inexpensive when they go on sale, so I will keep my eyes open and post if I find one.

Has anyone else found a good deal on these to pair with this awesome coupon?  Let me know!

Thanks, Frugalista Cafe!
