Tax refunds are like steaks - everyone likes them different.  Some people like theirs well-done, and blow their huge tax refund on crap they don’t need.  Others like theirs rare - they see no reason to give Uncle Sam a free loan.  Someday, if both my husband and I have a more predictable income, I [...]

A friend of mine sent me a link to a site with a 20-minute video called “The Story of Stuff“. It took me over 3 months to follow the link an get around to watching it, being that if I don’t do something right away, it takes me awhile to get to it.

I have a confession to make.  This weekend, we splurged and picked up some potato chips and Oreo cookies at the grocery store.  They were real Oreos (not generic), and for the record they were absolutely delicious.   Both cookies and chips are an extremely rare find in our household - neither my husband and I [...]

I was talking to my friend the other day about bringing down their household costs, and he mentioned that their family cell phone plan cost $90 a month.  This is just for he and his wife.  They are on a network plan where they can talk to other members of their family for free (ie. [...]

We are currently using Vonage for our local and long distance calls from home, but we are always looking for ways to save money. I was checking out this post at BudgetCents.net, and have ordered a free 30-day trial from magicJack. Our current local and long distance bill is about $30 per month [...]
