I am seriously considering vlogging, because let’s face it it’s pretty cool to be able to watch an occasional video. I have tried a video app with my iPhone (I have the very first iPhone invented) but haven’t been so impressed with it that I used it more than once. I have also considered for [...]

Why Gas Boycotts Don’t Work
I recently received a number of event invitation requests on Facebook to boycott gas for No Gas Day or whatever in order to send the oil companies some kind of message that we won’t stand for high gas prices. My initial thought is this: didn’t anyone learn this doesn’t work when gas rose to $2 [...]
Where to Find Cheap DVDs for Kids
If you remember way back in March of 2010, I broke up with Dish Network and went completely to DVDs for our television entertainment. I didn’t miss it like I worried that I would and my daughter seemed fine as long as we rented or picked up her favorite shows once in a while. I [...]
The Nook Color and Free eBooks
I forgot to mention the newest addition to my bag of electronic obsession. My parents bought me an eReader, the Barnes and Noble Nook Color to be more specific. I am one of those people that always thought I enjoyed being able to hold a book and look at it on the book shelf, but [...]
How Broke People Can Eat Healthy
I have said many times to many people that I can’t figure out for the life of me why it’s so cheap to eat unhealthy stuff but healthy is expensive. For instance, an entire box of Little Debbie snacks are a dollar something. One tiny red pepper is almost $3.00 and if you like ranch [...]
Things You Should Not Buy From a Garage Sale
It’s garage sale time which not only means great deals on lots of junk (okay and some great deals on great items) but it also means free entertainment. Seriously. Have you never been to a garage sale that had items for sale that made you snicker? If not, you’re not going to the right ones [...]
Cheap Ways to Update a Spring Wardrobe
I don’t need any more clothes. I will never need to purchase anymore clothing. I have enough clothing and shoes to choke a donkey (I’ve said that so many times it’s sort of my mantra). In case you don’t understand this, I have what would be considered the man’s closet and the woman’s closet filled [...]
Fake Uggs are Bad for Your Feet
Besides the various St. Patrick’s Day articles (How to Make Cornbeef and Cabbage, Best St. Paddy’s Day Bars, Old Navy Promoting Drinking in Children Under 13–okay, not really), the other big story was that those fake Ugg boots are bad for your feet. Someone has discovered that the knockoff Uggs can lead to a lifetime [...]
I Need a Collection and How Walmart Ruined My Legacy
In my lifetime, or at least ever since I started paying attention, people have made money or become rich off of a broad range of items, some being as obvious as rare art found in the attic, others include the man in Kansas that recently sold an unwrapped Nintendo Stadium Game for $41,000.00. Just the [...]
5 Things I Will Never Buy
Once in a while I come across ridiculous things that people buy and today it was cashmere toilet paper. After thinking how ridiculous the wealthy are sometimes, I began thinking of all the purchases I would never make, even if I somehow got out of debt and could afford it. Here is my list of [...]
