I just started getting the magazine All You. You can only get it at Wal-Mart or via subscription. I got an assume deal on the subscription through Southern Living at Home for $19.99 for two years. In store it costs around $1.99. That is a savings of about $24! The cool thing about this magazine is that it is chocked full of useful coupons from food, bathroom and household items etc. I also like that it has a month worth of meal planning and recipes to go with it. I will be getting a link to purchase it shortly up on my blog, The Financial Nanny.
The June 26 issue has a great article on when to buy things to get the best price. For the month of July, your best deals are on gym memberships. You can most likely get a great deal on a month to month membership. The gyms are trying to keep their membership quotas through the summer months. If you have been looking to join the gym, it sounds like now is the time. For the month of August, is of course, the biggest back to school shopping events. Everything from clothes, crayons, notebooks, pencils, pens and computers have large discounts on them. If you are in the department for a new air conditioner or camping equipment, August provides healthy deals too.
Are you one of the people who don’t like paying full price for things? If so, I have a website for you! This website, Current Codes, contains codes for over 2000 websites. These codes can be used for discounts on purchases and shipping etc.

It’s been a tough year for our industry. Many longtime nannies have lost their jobs and are finding it challenging to land a new position at a livable wage. One of the results is that some past Nannypalooza attendees won’t be able to join us this year because of their financial situation.NANC, with the help of some generous nanny sponsors, is offering a scholarship to help those nannies make it to Nannypalooza 2009. The scholarship includes conference registration and Saturday night accommodations at the Doubletree Bethesda Hotel.
