Warning On Specials At Grocery Stores
I usually add blueberries, my daughter likes hers with chocolate chips in the batter. Pancakes can be a very tasty way to start your day. I have a good homemade recipe for pancakes, but lately my family seems to like Aunt Jemima to come over. It’s quick and easy add the water stir and cook.

Driving For Better Gas Prices
Okay, we didn’t get in the car and drive to South Carolina and Georgia looking for better gas prices. We had a trip planned there to check out colleges and of course we would be burning up some gas driving 775 miles in three days.
I have noticed around here, the prices of gas has crept [...]
Cheaper Than Take Out
I bought a large take and bake pizza that was on sale. It was cheese only and the price was $7. This 16″ pizza is pretty good, but I decided to upgrade. So at the store yesterday, I bought some pepproni, Canadian bacon, canned pineapple, black olives, and onions.
My family has different topping favorites, so [...]
When To Buy Organic Produce
Martha Stewart dropped by our house last night….While checking the mail, I noticed a Martha Stewart Living magazine in the mail. My wife told me that she signed up for a free subscription for a year.
Besides being uber creative and obnoxiously organized, Martha has a magazine that has some interesting topics.
Organic food is a hot topic; but I [...]
More Fees To Fly
Just saw the news that Delta Airlines is raising their baggage fee $8 to $23. This is bothersome, especially after watching football games this weekend that had a lot of Southwest Airlines ads.
If you haven’t seen them, they are all about how Southwest loves bags and would never charge a fee for them. If they [...]
Gas Heat versus Electric
As much of the country continues to hunker down in our cold wave, we all have to keep warm. I love wearing sweatshirts and sweaters, but it would be nice to get a break.
We have gas heat in our house, but for the last several years natural gas prices have risen, a lot. To take [...]
Freezer Hunting
Our upright freezer has been a great investment. I can find food on sale and store it there. I have frozen blueberries from the summer and frozen casseroles from the fall.
A few days ago I just froze a pineapple cream cake, mmmm. Our family gets one every Christmas from friends. It is a delicious moist [...]
Triple Coupons Work
I have always cut coupons for groceries. Now in our current economy, clipping coupons has become fashionable if not necessary. Well for the past week Harris Teeter has been offering triple coupon value, for coupons up to 99 cents. So this past Sunday, I put away my $1 coupons and headed to the store with a handful [...]
Save On Fine Dining
Gift cards are everywhere today, but the ones that get my attention are the ones where you pay less than the actual value of the card. That is something hard to find, but I found it at Costco this week.
Costco is selling $100 gift cards to Ruth Chris Steakhouse and also to Fleming’s Steakhouse. I [...]
When Chocolate Is NOT Food
I had about $10 in cash and I was picking up a few things at the store. A little milk, eggs, etc and Nestle’s Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips. While standing in line, I calculated the total to be about 9 and a half dollars. The total was $10.26?! I questioned the total, but the prices [...]
