Thrifty Tips From The Exhausted

Photobucket


Okay I joined the gym yesterday, and I am very excited. I am also very concerned because I have a one hour training session tomorrow, and I am still awake because I have thrifty tips to do....OY! By the way if you are looking for a good price on a gym, give me a call at the station (that is if you live in Prescott, AZ). Mine costs $20 a month or if you pay a year up front it is just under about $12.50 a month. Remember the summer is a great time to enjoy the gym for a lower price.

Father's Day is this Sunday, and there is still time to get the kids involved in some fun craft making for dad.

Michaels has some great activities. Today (Thursday) participating Michaels stores will be hosting a FREE Father's Day Make-It Take-It Duck Tape Wallet activity. The kids will learn how to make dad his own Duck Tape wallet while supplies last. This event is for ages 3 and up at runs from 6pm to 8pm. Follow the link below to search your zip code or city to find a Michaels near you and see what activities they are offering.

How about a card for that amazing gift that the kids made? Head back to Michaels on Friday, and the kids will make a fabulous card just for dad. Again this is while supplies last and is for ages 3 and up. This activity is also from 6pm to 8pm. Get there early!

Need something to do on Saturday, why not bring the kids back to Michaels for more fun where they can make a fabulous key chain for dad too. These are just so absolutely adorable, and dad will get to think of your sweet kids every time he starts the car. This activity is also available while supplies last and runs from 10am to 12pm.

GREAT RECIPE SITE

Last week I talked about my favorite phone app MyFitnessPal which is also available online at MyFitnessPal.com. It is an amazing site that really keeps you on your toes and on your calorie mark. Now I'd like to share my favorite local recipe site, Gina's Skinny Recipes. Gina has recipes for dinner, lunch, breakfast, and yummy desserts and even breaks everything down for you with calories, servings size info, nutrition values and those very important point values for those Weight Watchers out there. Truly you will love Gina! Best part? Gina offers all of these great recipes free, and you can even print them too! Two of the recipes I can't wait to try are the Skinny Taco Dip and Lemon Cheesecake Yogurt Cups.
