Let’s face it, ladies. Most of us are overworked, underpaid and overstressed. And trying to find a healthy balance between family life and work can be overwhelming.

With the slumping economy, many people are finding ways to save money and cut back on extra expenses. While money saving coupons are a great way to save a few bucks, who has time to go through the local papers and cut out coupons every week? Each week, the Working Moms website will be shining the spotlight on free items and steals-and-deals that will help save money, time and make your life just a little bit easier.

Slim pickins' this week, ladies!
