The web is full of resources and experts to help you save money, find bargains, and make the most of your finances. Here are a few of the best:

A group of bloggers whose mission is to offer shopping tips, financial advice, career and money-making ideas and “general adulthood know-how your parents forgot to tell you.”

2. Suddenly Frugal

Wife, mother and homeowner Leah Ingram shares her lessons, tips and bargain finds on her blog — from free Leap Day samples to coupons for Fisher-Price products to DIY cleaning tools.

Money saving tips and practical financial tools — strategies and real information to help lower your bills, reduce your debt, and spend smarter— billeater.com’s goal is to help you lower your energy bills, monthly mortgage payments, car insurance, credit card payments, and more.

4. Lifehacker — tips, tricks and downloads for getting things done

Not a pure bargains and finance site, LifeHacker covers how-to’s, information, answers, reviews and, yes, tips on everything from the latest and best smartphone apps to how to buy the right toothbrush to how to use sugar to clean your greasy hands. And don’t miss their “App Deals” — where you’ll find paid apps on sale or free, updated daily.

5. Moneysaving Mom — “helping you be a better home economist”

Strategies and life lessons on keeping a home and feeding a family on a budget — from “why I don’t make homemade tortillas” to “play the drugstore game” to “15 ways to repurpose items you already have for reorganizing” — this blog’s goal is to help you live better on less.

6. Feed the Pig — “ready to save?”

Part of a national campaign sponsored by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and The Advertising Council to encourage and help Americans aged 25 to 34 to take control of their personal finances — the site offers games, quizzes, resources, planning tools and more to help you develop and maintain the saving habit. Check out the 5% Challenge — based on your household income, your debt and your annual savings goal (which you provide), the site produces a map of your lifetime savings results.

7. 24 Savvy — “savvy living made easy”

About living “the smartest, most creative life possible with whatever we’ve got on hand — about doing fabulously more with what we have—even when it’s a little bit less than what we want — it's trading off, not down, turning the ordinary into something extraordinary, the art of living the good life for less, no matter what we’ve got in our bank account.”

For starters check out 24 Savvy’s list of the 50 Best Money-Saving Blogs and Websites.

Doyen is the new word of the day.

You know your agency has one as so does mine. The question is are you the one? As I’m writing this you know I have a smile on my face for those of you who doesn’t know the meaning of this word which reminds me I might as well tell you the meaning of (doi’en) is the senior member of a group. I’m usually senior of any group I’m associated with what say you?

Flummery is the new word of the day.

This is so good I will tell you right up front its origin is Welsh. I’ve had clients and so called friends do this to me and I was not impressed. So what I would like to know is how often it has happened to you and do feel it’s happening now? The meaning of (flum’er e) is meaningless flattery or silly talk. So you don’t need to tell me a lot of my posts is meaningless flattery or sill talk but until now I didn’t know they had a word for it…

So tell me have you been on one of these? Bet me just bet me cause I know you have. It’s a common thing so want to make a wager? OK all joking aside I still say you have been on one of these can you guess what it is? Alright I’ve held you in suspense for long enough the meaning of (me kad’em) is small broken stones used in making roads; esp., such stones combined with a binder such as tar or asphalt. So tell me did you guess it? Isn’t this fun?
