4.28.2006

Name: Linda H
Age: 32
Home: Logan, IA
 

Family's Names and Ages:
Bennett 6
Claire 2

Occupation:
Fraud/Risk Project Manager - Credit Card Industry
Also, I'm a school board member, Logan-Magnolia Community School District (that takes quite a bit of time)

If I had a day to myself...:
Spa day (at home)

Money Saving Tips:
Shop for kids clothing at consignment sales.  I consign, therefore I get to shop early at those sales to pick up the best deals first. Entertainment book is a must have.
Use coupon codes faithfully & sign up for merchants 'clubs' & email notices.

Bargain Hunting Strategies:
Target
Amazon

Shopping online, allows me more time with family.

Products we can't live without:
Our van. I drive 40 miles to work and our van is sooooo much more practical than our former SUV.  Not to mention the DVD player is a savior of my sanity.

In the Kitchen:
Selling PChef allowed me to restock my kitchen as well as help with bills.  Their recipes fit into our active lifestyle.  Though I no longer have time to do this, I do appreciate their tools and recipes.

Organization:
I appreciate my online local MSN moms group - http://groups.msn.com/OmahaAreaMoms

It's extremely active and full of resources for all moms on the go!
