Holy cow, I can't believe we've already circled back to Thanksgiving once again!!! This year has truly passed me by quickly!!
Just like so many other blog writers, I realized today I'd hit quite a lapse between posts. I've been dealing with some things, away from the blog, that have taken a bit more of my time lately. Therefore, I'm so excited to get back into the swing of things and share more of my savings and daily life with all of you!!!
As I may have mentioned ever so briefly in the past, I LOVE Fall! And when I say I love Fall, I mean I'm psycho obsessed with it. If Fall were Arnold (of the classic show "Hey Arnold", then consider me the ever-secretly-worshipping Helga Petaki.
I love the fashion of Fall, all the holiday goodies and decorations, and of course the special occasions spent with your family during the season. Fall, to me, just seems like it brings everyone closer together. I swear....there is just something in the air.
I could almost promise you that some marketing executives, somewhere, tailor their whole line of consumer fall-related products to sucker me right on end.
My thoughts as I grocery shop these days: "Fall candles...definitely need. Lessee....oohhh fall room scent...can't live without....Fall cinnamon broom..I'll take 2. Ohhh...just a picture of a randome fall leaf....okay then."
It's crazy how much stuff I can talk myself into needing based solely on my love of the season. However, this year, as I've mentioned previously, I got so much smarter about the way I choose to shop. True, I still believe I need the Fall goodies--but at least I can purchase them at much lower rates. Here are a few of my recent purchases so far.

What can I say? I love Fall and I love savings even more ;) Happy awesome season everyone!!!
