Hi Ya’ll!! I am a creative, coupon clipping, and frugal living mom in the Tri-Cities TN. I have been couponing for over 15 years, and I am always looking for ways to save a buck.I love to cook in my crock pot, look for bargins,decorate and makes crafts on the cheap too, and shop Consignment sales. I like to encourage local folks to shop local by doing reviews of local businesses. A Frugal Chick always gives back and I share ideas on how to do that too.

Countdown to a Frugal Halloween: Last Minute Costume Ideas
I love Halloween, but this weather.. makes me not looking to forward to it tomorrow! So here is a list of ideas for those of you who waited to the last minute and forgot to get a costume...
1. Owl
All you need are some old T-shirts, fabric glue, and a few hours to make this easy owl costume by Ellen Luckett Baker from alphamom.com.
Complete How-To: Owl Costume
2. Bat
Another creation of Ellen Luckett Baker for alphamom.com, these bat wings are simple to make using black felt and boning. The mask? It's as easy as printing out and pasting to a pair of sunglasses.
3. Rubik's Cube
Design mom and blogger Gabrielle Blair recreation of the retro toy requires just a box and some construction paper, a quirky kid can impress friends as this infamous puzzler from yesteryear.
Complete How-To: Rubik's Cube Costume
4. Superheroes
What child doesn't fantasize about flying through the air? Following Brooke Reynolds' lead, sweatpants or tights and a graphic felt cape become classic superhero paraphernalia.
5. Knight
With the pattern for a 1970s art smock, Merilee from Mer Mag sewed her little boys a pair of knight costumes with wonderful - and adorable- hand-drawn emblems worthy of King Arthur's court. Add sweats, boots, and the all-important plastic sword for an old-fashioned (and friendly!) sword fight.

ZOMBIE BOOGERS!!!
So I got to make these yesterday.. YUMMY!! I am addicted to BOOGERS ;)
"Zombie Boogers" Green Candy Coated Popcorn
Recipe Difficulty: Easy
Serves: 8-10
Time: 1 1/2 hours
16-20 cups of popped popcorn ( I used microwave popcorn)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon green food coloring
1 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (95 degrees C).
Place your popcorn in two large shallow baking dishes.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt buter. Stir in sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to boil while stirring consistently. Boil without stirring for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and green food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored and combined. Stir in baking soda. Mixture will double. Pour the mixture over the popcorn and stir to combine and evenly coat.
Place the popcorn in the oven. Stir the popcorn every 15 minutes for 1 hour. Remove from the oven. Let cool for about 5 minutes and then break into pieces. Be careful popcorn will still be hot.
Depending on your location, you may need to adjust the recipe slightly to achieve the same serving size.

Don't forget this game at Home Depot!
Just a reminder that you still have a chance to snag these *HOT* Home Depot Coupons!
NOTE: Before going into details on this offer, I just want to mention that this game will take quite a bit of your time in order to snag the high value coupons (as much as an hour or so!), so keep that in mind before playing…
For a limited time, you can head on over to the Home Depot Facebook page and click on the Zombie Mulch tab to play a game in which you can earn coupons for $5 off a $5.01 purchase, $10 off a $10.01 purchase, and $15 off a $15.01 purchase from the Home Depot Lawn and Garden Department (valid thru 12/31/12)! To snag the coupons, you will need to hit zombies with the truck (use the arrows to move it up and down) and make them into mulch. If you make enough, you will receive the coupons. I personally did not have enough patience to actually snag a coupon, but I hope that some of you do! Good luck!
I bought pumpkins with my $15 one, otherwise we wouldn't had any. I am saving my other two for Christmas :)
Things people have bought: pumpkins, soil,pots, flowers, cleaning supplies, Christmas or Halloween Decor, hose,rakes.
