Container Store Travel Sale

The Container Store is having a travel sale until July 6th.

I love The Container Store, I could spend all day in that place!

They have lots of great travel supplies marked down, including my personal favorite, these cereal on the go containers which keep the milk cold and your cereal dry.

Also be sure and check out their Special Savings section to find items up to 50% off.

Guest Posts

I get quite a few emails about writers guest posting on My Good Cents so I thought I would address it.

My time is filled finding deals, posting them here and on my other blog, completing surveys, doing the whole life thing off the computer and going to my real job that pays me a little more then this one but not quite as fun. In turn, I don’t have a lot of time to write posts with “real substance”.

With all that being said, I’m totally open to guest posting. If you would like to write a post for the blog, please do so and email it to me at mygoodcents AT cox DOT net.

I can not guarantee I will post it or when I will post it but if you keep the things listed below in mind, there is a good chance I will.

- Nothing to heavy please. This blog is light, fun and simple. Posts about interest rates, the mortgage crisis, FICO scores, and 401K’s are great but my core readers are here to save money on basic everyday things.

- No affiliate links or product/website reviews. Posts should be on a topics like saving money, living frugal, how to do whatever for cheaper but make sure it’s a helpful post with your ideas not just links to other places. Of course, if you have a blog that will be listed in the post.

If your blog/site is full of debt consolidation, “bad credit” credit card offer links, has any pop-ups you can’t escape or is an obvious spam trap, I won’t post the article no matter how great it is. I’m sure your a stand up gal/guy I just prefer not to link to sites such as these on this blog.

- A new post please. Don’t just copy a post on your blog and send it, write something new just for this blog. If you have a great post already written, send it my way so I can read it, I could always just link to the post.

I think that’s about it… I look forward to reading your ideas and tips!
