I love a deal. Whether it's finding a NWT item on eBay, or a great coupon in the paper, there's nothing better than saving money on something you were going to buy anyway.

With new blogs popping up every day it's even easier to save money, just ask Melissa Garcia. When Melissa was frustrated by Old Navy's coupon offerings, she didn't just complain to the store. She vented on a message board tied to her blog consumerqueen.com, which is read by at least 30,000 people each month and now, increasingly, by corporate America.

Within weeks, all the chatter led Gap Inc.'s Old Navy to begin issuing coupons several times a week, instead of just once a week.

Here are some other websites to check out: www.moneysavingmom.com; www.dealseekingmom.com; www.couponcravings.com; www.couponmom.com; www.5dollardinners.com

The next time you have a few minutes, consider checking out a few of these sites. I found some recipes at 5dollardinners.com that I'm going to try. Quick and easy always sounds good to me, add inexpensive and you have a winner.
