When I brought it back they charged me a "packaging fee". Nice. Well this Christmas I am besieged by cardboard boxes in my basement. I am holding onto everyone ... Read More

I was looking through a few the other day and was suprised how many ... Read More

If you have a Citibank credit card you might want to check your next statement or look for a nasty little letter that is appearing in peoples mailboxes.

When we spoke last week he said he would do the quote over because I had one a fair bit of the work myself. You would be suprised how much money you can save ... Read More

Since starting this blog every resource I have read suggests writing up a shopping list and stick to it in order to save money. You can't go into a grocery store with no list or plan and expect to come out of there with saving money. You have to know what you want to buy ahead of time so you can maybe look for coupons ... Read More
