I was sent this this week and laughed so hard I couldn’t resist.  WARNING! Political spoiler and side stitches ahead. DUE TO RECENT BUDGET CUTS, AND THE RISING COST OF ELECTRICITY, GAS AND OIL, THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE Sincerel...

Sean Callebs will try and he’s documenting the whole experience on CNN. This is a little more realistic than the $1 a day meal experiment, which was more about publicity than reality. What I find most interesting about Callebs’ reports is the insight it gives him and his readers. “...

Yesterday, I went to Wal-Mart, the devil store because I spend way too much money there, and splurged on a pregnancy craving (at least I am using it as a good excuse at this point HAHA) - ramen noodles.  I realize, before you give me a hard time about the sodium, they are horrible nutritionally.  ...

Lately we have known way too many people who have lost thier jobs.  Karen and I just wanted to let you know that we are praying for all of you who are struggling, regardless of your job status.  But we are especially praying for those of you looking for jobs. These last few weeks, my family has be...

When it comes to energy hogs, did you know that your electric dryer, when on, consumes the most electricity compared to every other appliance in your home? It’s true, it easily beats your refrigerator and your water heater (those in total energy consumption, those appliances use more because t...

When we worked at the group home, we spent so many hours working each day that I usually did not have time to pack my daughter’s lunch. It was hard to pay the $1.70 each day for her to eat, but it was a chosen convenience for us. Now that we’ve moved and I’m working from home again...

I love drifting around the net.  And to answer your questions, no.  I have not found the end of the Internet yet.  But what I did find were some great sites and great deals.  So I thought I would show you some really great finds.  It’s great.  Do you feel great yet?  HAHA Baby Cheapskat...

Yesterday, I talked about comparison shopping by unit price.  There are a few things to remember about bulk buying or comparison shopping. If the store you find the best deals at is far from you, consolidate trips or choose wisely.  You might do without for a few days until you can justify the tri...
