Eco Tuesday: Buy in bulk
When shopping, buying in bulk saves in multiple ways. Cuts down on packaging since there's one bulk package instead of multiple individually packaged items. This means you're using less paper, cardboard, plastic and all the other over done packaging materials. You drive back and forth to the store less often so you save there too. Not to mention, buying bulk allows you … [Read more...] about Eco Tuesday: Buy in bulk

Fast food breakfast: convenient & time saving or not?
Every morning I drive by a local Dunkin Donut (it's next to the gym) and am always dumbfounded how long the drive thru line is at 8:45 a.m. I decided to time a vehicle to see how long they really waited in the line before getting their food. 17 mins 43 seconds, that's how long! Now, if you ask someone who goes there odds are they'll say they go through the drive thru to … [Read more...] about Fast food breakfast: convenient & time saving or not?

Ya know, ipod earphones in just minding my own biz, doing my … [Read more...] about Gyms and women

Gas purchase capped at $75!
What gives? Storm preparation people always tell you to make sure your cars have gas and you have gas for generators, etc. I just got back from the gas station and they maxed me at $75 worth of gas. I had one car to still put gas in and 3 more gas cans to fill for backup for generator and they topped me off at $75. Had to finish, then go back in and have son pay for more gas … [Read more...] about Gas purchase capped at $75!
School shopping vs storm preparation shopping
They're both horrendous acts that nobody should have to do, much less on the same day! It's bad enough to have to go to the mall with the masses of people who it seems many aren't partial to bathing before they go out in public but then to dodge the fake smiling women attempting to spray you with their chemical migraine inducing 'perfume' as you walk into any main department … [Read more...] about School shopping vs storm preparation shopping
