My friend Erin over at Coupon Cravings has compiled a very useful list of free money-saving apps to use with your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Her extensive list includes bargain shopping, coupons, personal finance, automobile savings, entertainment savings, and finding garage sales. This is a great resource for those who want to save money, but don’t want to shell out any money for a bunch of apps.

I love Minnesota in the summer.  Warm sun, cool lakes, and plenty of beautiful scenery!  The boys and I picked a pint of wild raspberries in our neighborhood last week, and we’ll be able to pick even more in a few days.  We’ve gone swimming nearly every sunny day.  I will have to take photos so I can remember these gorgeous days during the cold, harsh winter!
I’ve got my weekly round-up for you – lots of goodies!  Enjoy!

Hello, Everyone!  I’m back from my vacation and while it was fun and relaxing, I really missed all of you!  I hope that you enjoyed some time with your family and friends over the July 4 holiday.
I’ve got a few freebies, coupons and deals for you, as well as many more money-saving ideas coming your way later this week, so stay tuned!

I really hope we get some steady sunshine soon.   All of this rain and bad weather has made for long days indoors with three busy boys!
Well, at least you can do some deal hunting….
