I am always amazed at how complacent people are when it comes to spending money on things like pet food or pet supplies. If you are a pet owner you will know how expensive it can be to feed your pet a decent food and to buy pet supplies for them. You should look at buying dog or cat supplies like you do buying your own groceries. Try to find deals and shop around to get your best prices. In todays ... Read More

I blogged before that our Utility company is moving towards billing based on the time of day that we use our electricity.

Do you buy a plastic potting planters that will last a season or do you sink your money into something more expensive hoping to get a couple of ... Read More

Is it just me or is the price of electronics and electronic gadgets becoming increasingly affordable? Every weekend when we are out shopping (more window shopping than spending) I can't believe how low things have become. We were out last week and glanced at some digital camcorders and I thought they would have been prices for a lot more than what they were in the store we were in. You can pick up an HDD camcorder for well under $500. ... Read More

It's summer and you know what that means. The old wallet is going to take a beating with all of the birthdays, weddings, anniversary parties and other seasonal outings taking place. I have a few to go to myself and am in need of some fancy duds. You have two choices, you can rent or you can buy. If don't have too many dates on the go then renting might be the viable option but if you have a few ... Read More
