Where Saving Money is Making Money!
GoGo Squeez announced on their Facebook page:
“UPDATE! We are donating 2500 pouches and for every new fan an additional up to 5,000! A special approval from our director because she loved this ♥
We rummaged thru our warehouse & scraped together some pouches for the victims of Joplin. You all have said how easy it would be for them with no mess, no fuss, no fridge needed for GoGos.”
So head on over to their Facebook page HERE and “Like” them to help out a great cause!
Thanks Jacki!

Price Cutter is is partnering with American Red Cross Greater Ozarks Chapter to accept donations for relief in Joplin through the end of June. From their blog:
“Customers who wish to participate may have $1, $3 or $5 added to their total at checkout. All 48 Pyramid Foods’ stores under the banners of Price Cutter, Bistro Market by Price Cutter, Food Pyramid, Ramey, Smitty’s, Country Mart, Save-A-Lot and Ponca City Discount Foods will be participating in this program.
The money raised from this program will be given to American Red Cross Greater Ozarks Chapter, specifically designated relief in Joplin. This fund provides immediate relief to the victims of the tornado through various supplies, food, water and other support to help those in need.
Price Cutter is an employee-owned company and proud community supporter. “We are currently working with suppliers to send truckloads of food and water to Joplin for the American Red Cross and emergency responders,” Erick Taylor, CEO of Pyramid Foods states.”
Thanks Price Cutter! ♥

As many of you know, my town Joplin, Missouri was devastated by a tornado early Sunday evening on May 22nd. I’ve had an outpouring of emails from many generous, caring people asking how they can help. Here’s a list of items that are currently needed:
Connie’s Antiques in Joplin has moved to a new location that has a nice big storage in the back and Blake with Connie’s was more than happy to help & has agreed to have all items mailed there:
Mail to:
Disaster Relief/Frugal Fritzie
c/o Connie’s Antiques
5171 N. Main St.
Joplin, MO 64801
You have my personal guarantee that all items will be distributed to those that need them. I will be documenting this drive as it goes along to keep everyone up to date. Please feel free to include any personal notes, I’m sure they would be very much appreciated. You can also order online if you like from places like Amazon, Walmart & Target & send any items directly to the address above.
If you would rather make a monetary donation, you can do so through American Red Cross. I’ve also heard that Dillons stores are accepting donations for American Red Cross (obviously not ours in Joplin, it was devastated by the tornado).
Please feel free to share this post via Facebook, Twitter, email, blog, however you like.
Again, thank you so much for your support & for your prayers. They are both so very much appreciated. Bless you! ♥
UPDATE #2: For all of you that have generously asked how you can help, I have started an online donation drive HERE.
UPDATE: Hi all, thanks SO much for all your messages and offers for help. I lost my phone line right after I posted this, but I now have it again (still no power & cell phone still out, but thankfully working off neighbor’s generator). Anyway, now that I have communication again, I’m planning an online drive & will get be posting as soon as I get something coordinated. I’ll be in touch very soon hopefully where items can be mailed & I will personally see to it that items are distributed where they are needed. Again, thank you so much! I will post again as soon as I have a plan in place.
As you probably know, my town Joplin, Missouri was hit Sunday evening by a tornado. 116 are now confirmed dead with many more injured. Storms are continuing through Joplin & are expected to continue through the next few days, so please keep us in your prayers. I am absolutely devastated at the loss, damage & heartbreak people are going through and I hope to come up with a plan to help as soon as is possible. Thanks so much for all the kind messages & prayers left here & on Facebook. We’re fine, we were very, very lucky & I thank God that we made it (Thanks God. I love you!). At this point, while my phone line is currently working (and that could change at any time), my cell phone is down & while I can call out long distance, I have been unable to reach anybody within Joplin. While we have sustained some damage, we were one of the lucky ones, we live on the edge of where the destruction took place. I am currently without power (as expected) and have my refrigerator & computer plugged in to my next-door neighbor’s generator (Thanks Burt, you’re the best). My regular internet is understandably down, but I managed to get dial-up late this afternoon. I’ll check in when I can and thanks again for the prayers all!
