Hello!

My name is Charlene-Mary A. James and as a self proclaimed nickel and dime-er, I am a huge proponent of smart shopping.

Whether you’re simply trying to save for a new car or nickel and diming your way to millionaire status (like myself), this blog will be an informative and humorous avenue through which you can reach your financial goals --and become aware of the MANY thoroughfares Houston has for smart shoppers like yourselves.

I can’t promise that shopping at a certain flea market in north Houston that sells non-perishables, and anything else you could ever want, at a HUGELY discounted price ( $0.10 glade anyone?) will make you wealthy, but who doesn’t like the jingle-jangle of extra money in their pocket?

This blog will cover the spectrum of the ways and places in which you can save money on things you need -- as well as stuff you just…well….want!

Stick with me and you’ll see that “saving,” and being a smart spender, is not only good for your wallet, but also extremely fun!
