Saving On Prescriptions
Had to get some allergy medicine filled for my daughter, and even though I have insurance, sometimes I can find medicine cheaper at Costco. I love shopping at Costco and I have discovered their pharmacy has very good prices.
Now I know what you are thinking, what if you are not a member of the wholesale [...]
A Chore Or Exercise?
I see a lot of my neighbors use services to cut their grass. I guess they don’t have the time. I do my own grass because, I don’t have the money to pay someone. In reality, I have always cut the grass all the way back to when I was a young boy. Once while [...]
Bill The Air Conditioning Tech
After doing some sit-ups upstairs I noticed it was getting a little toasty in our rec room. I went over to the thermostat and nothing. I couldn’t get the air, the fan, or even the heat on. Oh oh. Fortunately, believe it or not, I didn’t have time to deal with the air conditioner or lack [...]
Store-bought Homemade Chicken Salad
Costco has really good chicken salad that they make at their store. It is about $5 a pound. Of course Costco being Costco, you are buying at least 2 pounds of it. Still it is very tasty. Yesterday while perusing our local Costco, I saw their rotisserie chicken $5.
Costco uses its rotisserie chicken for its chicken salad, [...]
Vacation Deal$
The e-mail in my in box was from the hotel in New York City where we have stayed in the past. They are saying hi and obviously trying to get some business.
Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of the summer travel season. Our Memorial Day weekend will be a stay-cation, but summer vacation time [...]
Watering Tip$
Read on MyNC.com/Durham that my water rates are going up in Durham, again. They raised rates, it seems, just a little over a year and a half ago. I guess we aren’t using enough water, so the utility needs to bring in more money. Conservation can get expensive!
We are getting into the time of the [...]
Saving With Coupons
Good times, bad times (I think that is a Led Zeppelin song), well anyway, no matter what the times;I have always clipped coupons. It is one of the benefits of still getting a Sunday paper. Most of the time I stay with products that I would normally buy, but every once in a while a [...]
Top Selling Recession Food
As I was biting the tail off my Easter chocolate bunny, I read about things that are selling during more during our recession. And guess what, chocolate is right up there. Everyone needs a little comfort food when times aren’t as comfortable. I don’t think I have found myself buying anything different over the last [...]
Bill The Plumber
Ssssss, that is the sound of water running. Not a bad sound when you are having a shower or filling a glass of water, but a miserable sound when it is coming from your commode. That is what happened to me yesterday. I shut the water off and took the lid off the commode.
Our toilet [...]
Siesta Savings
With an early dismissal from school yesterday, my daughter and wife wanted to go out to lunch. Due to some appointments we didn’t get to go until 2pm. Having a late lunch, however, turned out to be very economical.
We ate Mexican and Terero’s and they have a big sign, that I never noticed before, talking about [...]
