Couponing

Guest post from: Bruno Smith

With the way the economy has been the last couple of years, I have been trying to save as much money as possible when I go out grocery shopping. I started cutting out coupons from the Sunday paper, and also I cut them out from all those little flyers that you get in the mail every week. If you get you some type of binder to organize all the coupons, you can really save a lot of money in the stores. You just have to set your mind to it and remember to take the binder More >

Planning to Take Your Sweetheart Somewhere for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and it is an excellent time to make last-minute plans for your sweetheart’s special day. Maybe you are planning to take her out on the town or maybe out of town. It is nice to plan a special night or long weekend to celebrate Valentine’s Day. It gives you a chance to enjoy each other’s company and your surroundings. Most women like to go out to eat at a nice restaurant and maybe dancing afterwards. They seem to always remember what you did for her on Valentine’s Day last year.

It is a smart More >

Are You Thinking of Moving

If you feel as if you are living in a depressed area of America and are considering moving then one place you may want to consider is Canada. Canada is a beautiful land with much to offer. Canada has approximately 1/10 the population of the US. This ultimately creates a situation of less competition for the jobs which are becoming available. Canada created approximately 10,000 more new jobs than were created in America last year. Canada’s economic recovery seems to be outpacing the US’s and there were as much as five times the jobs created as economists had predicted. There More >

Enough for me!

Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell

Being a stay at home mom just wasn’t working for me because I was dying of boredom during the day. There was nothing I needed more than a little adult interaction so I decided to start something of my own like a little home-based company to keep me occupied. I began selling greeting cards that I hand made from my house and my little business has really taken off! I had to get everything all set up from the get go with my bank-card-processing system and my arts and crafts room but now that I’m More >

How to Save Money While Traveling

Even though the economy stinks it is hard to just sit at home and wait for things to get better. Maybe the economy will be better after the presidential election, stock market recovery, job market rebound or some other economic miracle. No matter what it takes for the economy to get better you just cannot sit around waiting for it to happen. With this in mind, it is still possible to travel and enjoy life while saving money at the same time. One economically way to take a vacation or holiday is to stay in one of the self-catering holiday More >

Even Santa Wears Glasses

Santa Claus may be coming to town in a few days but if he cannot see where he is going he may get lost. It is a shame but as we age our vision diminishes and we must where eyeglasses. One problem with eyeglasses is they are expensive. It is really disheartening if you purchase a nice pair of glasses only to lose or break them. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could buy a pair of nice eyeglasses inexpensively? Well, this year maybe there is a solution to this problem. And just like Santa Claus, what do you do More >

Christmas Gifts For the Traveler

Time to go shopping for Christmas gifts but what do you buy? It seems to get harder and harder each year to buy presents for your family and loved ones. Seems like they have everything and what is left to give them. Once you have spent your hard-earned money on your family’s Christmas presents you probably asked yourself if they even liked or used them. Sometimes younger family members may look at their present as if to say “what is this piece of junk you gave me this year?”

Well it is time to buy a gift that they will appreciate More >

Dressing my family for our new home

Guest post written by Sandra Watson

I recently moved with my family across the country from Florida to Washington. Needless to say, it is a huge adjustment. But we’re closer to our parents, which is always a really good thing. I’m having a bit of a difficult time figuring out how to exactly dress for this weather because it’s been about 15 years since I lived in a place that actually gets cold!

I used my wireless internet Kitsap a while back to go online and order some new coats for us. I knew that we were going to need some serious winter More >
