Do you Telecommute?
Years ago, when I scouted for an apartment, I picked one close to work. I hate commuting. HATE IT. It’s time wasted, energy burned and a money drain.

Walgreens Coupon
Walgreens has a coupon for $10 off $30 worth of purchases if you go on Friday. If you are one of those people who buys shampoo in bulk, I’m sure this is a good buy for you.

Now Hondas are the new BMWs?

The economy cars were supposed to be our saving grace with these jacked up gas prices. Now, they are in demand and are getting pricey too. MEH! Here’s a [...]
