I am honored to have been chosen to represent the 'Us' in Follow Us Monday Morning!  My co-host,  JR from Frugality Is Free are looking forward to meeting new friends.  I know that we have so much to share and so much to learn from one another.

Each week we will feature a blog as Hot Blog of the Week, and we will post a question to get the conversation started. The Hot Blog of the Week will get the first place in the linky, and the featured blogger will win a free ad space at both Being Frugal and Making it Work and Frugality Is Free for a week.

This week's hot blog is Get In Shape and Save, which is written by Kim. Kim just started blogging back in May, so she is in need of followers. Get In Shape and Save is a result of Kim's love for finding great deals, but it also shows off her desire for saving while living a healthy life.


You can follow Get In Shape and Save here.









Congratulations, Kim, you have won a free week's ad space at Frugality Is Free and Being Frugal and Making It Work. You will also get the third spot in the linky.

Question of the Week
**********

Question of the Week:  How do you shop for back to school? Do you get deals here and there, shop online, or do you make one big back-to-school trip?



My answer:    I do the majority of my school supply shopping a year early, I shop clearance sales in September and buy bulk supplies for the following school year!

I also shop for school clothes year-round as well.  I shop clothing clearance in addition to using % off coupons to maximize my savings.

One big ol' trip. I stock up on crayons and such to have as a "treat" for special times for the rest of the year. What kid doesn't like "new" crayons on a trip? =)

I shop with coupons throughout the year so I usually have some school supplies stocked up. For clothes, I rely on my local consignment shop!
