Friday is almost always a good day simply because, well, it is Friday. I’m going to ring in this Friday by sharing some of my favorite things for this week.

Coupons. I was never really worried about saving money until suddenly I had none. Now it is top priority on my list. I’m constantly checking clearance racks, watching my advertisements and clipping coupons. I love a good deal and I am elated every time I feel like I’m getting something for free.

Today I went to CVS Pharmacy and spent a total of $18.70 before taxes. I got all of these items including Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on DVD. The DVD alone should have cost me over $20. If you are interested in learning how to start saving money by watching for sales and coupon clipping I highly, highly recommend you check out The Krazy Coupon Lady. This website (and my Mom) have helped me become a much smarter and frugal shopper

All this stuff for $18.70 at CVS Pharmacy!

The Corrs. I’ve really been enjoying their music this week. They are kind of a folk rock band with a mix of Celtic. Whatever you call it, it works for them and I love the way they harmonize.

WinDirStat – Windows Directory Statistics. I came across this nifty little program a while ago and I love it. It basically scans your hard drive and tells you what type of files are taking up the most space. For me, it is all the audio and video files I have. Along with World of Warcraft, which takes up about 15GB. It is a pretty nifty program and it lets you delete files in bulk right from the program. You can find out more information and download the program at WinDirStat.

The Renaissance Fair. I went to the Renaissance Fair a couple weeks ago and I very much enjoyed it. I didn’t think that there would be quite as many people as there were or that so many people would get so into it by dressing up and what not. Anyhow, there were some people that had costumes on that didn’t make one lick of sense to me such as these guys that dressed up as characters from Star Trek. I figure that some people tend to treat it as more cosplay than a Renaissance Fair. It made for an interesting photo anyways, especially when they came upon this guy in a dragon costume-thingy-ma-jig.

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend.
