“Pay What You Can Afford” Restaurants
Chello! Ok, so Panera has a non-profit concept that it’s trying out where people only pay what they can afford to spare. Wow! Now anyone who has read this blog knows that I have an unhealthy obsession relationship with Panera. It’s where I do a lot of my writing, and well, I’m a professional writer. [...]

Tribute to the King of Pop
An artist created a mural of Michael Jackson using 1,680 soda cans. I think this piece of art looks lovely. A pop can tribute to the King of Pop is fitting. The artist had to buy the cans new (he’s not a soda drinker), but I think it could be done with recycled cans. What [...]
Wine Lovers, #dealchat transcript!
So, last night’s #dealchat on affordable alcohol was just spirited! We had Twitter rocking about the best kinds of wines for Frugalistas to drink. We’re too classy for Wild Irish Rose, but selections from Trader Joe’s, big box stores and discount warehouses are easy on the wallet. Also, value wines from South Africa, Chile and [...]
