Wishes for a wonderful Easter from Frugal in Fort Worth!   

   

More than all the other fun things going on this weekend, we
hope you are able to carve out time to dwell on the truth
and joy of this Easter season ~ Jesus is Risen!   

Through an act of love, greater than
our minds can comprehend,
you have been called by the great heart of God.   

He knew you before you were born;
He called you to Himself through his Son Jesus Christ;   

and He calls you today, at this season of celebration,
to know Jesus as Savior and Lord.   

If you would like to know more about Jesus or need someone
to pray for you, call 1-888-NEED HIM or go online here.   

(Image and text courtesy of Hobby Lobby and Mardel Stores)    

We hope you have a wonderful Easter celebration weekend
with your family!   

Enjoy and Share! :)

REALLY Great Deal: CLEARANCE SALE on IPods at Amazon ~ Up to 30% OFF IPod Nano & IPod Touch!

Posted on February 10, 2010 | Leave a comment

Apple iPod nano 16 GB Green (4th Generation) [Previous Model] Apple iPod touch 16 GB (2nd Generation) [Previous Model]

Amazon IPod Clearance = Fantastic Prices.
If you are in the market for an mp3 player, Amazon is discounting their
remaining inventory of last year’s iPod models, including the second-
generation (2G) Apple IPod Touch and the fourth-generation (4G) IPod Nano.

Prices are discounted Up To 30% OFF.
This is a REALLLLY good deal.  I compared prices on the silver IPod
Nano to prices at about 10 other major online retailers ( from MacMall
to Target to the Apple Store) and found that this is indeed the best price
I could find (plus Amazon is always tax-free & FREE shipping to Texas!).

Click here, to see the full list of ipods on clearance at Amazon.
