Buy those cheapo sawdust floor-scrap little cigars instead of the 42.95 carton of 'Boros.

Buy your Marlboros if you are passing thru here for $24.95, the poverty puffs little cigars for $7.99,or better yet, just quit.

I always shop the sales - make my list based on what things are on special this week. I usually save $15 - $20 a week this way. I try to use tuna or canned salmon twice a month as it is healthy and cheaper than most other meat. We haven't been able to swing meatless very often yet, but I have cut down on the amount of meat and supplemented beans in some dishes. Also, Marc's is great for savings - just watch carefully at the checkout and check your receipts for mistakes.

I just wish they would pack Tuna Fish in Tuna Oil
rather than Veggy oil or Water, also put the dolphin back into the tuna can..

By the way Lard is good for you also..

ATTENTION...

I seen this subject pop up and thought I would come back once again just to throw a couple cents around.

To those of you who do shop at Acme in Ellet, the deal on Yoplait Yogurt this week IS NOT a deal. I ate one and about an hour later, the pain in my stomache was excruciating. I think the deal was 4 for $2.

Trust me, spend the cash. A deal is not always worth it in the long run.

Maybe you would have been better served to go to Chipotle in Kent??? LOL!

Option A

1. purchase a black hoodie. they're a great investment of around $15 at WalMart.

2. acquire weapon. stolen copper pipes work well and can be sold afterward.

3. travel to arlington.

4. rob any and every fast food establishment of cash - leave the food.

5. have a great shopping day at west point.

Option B

1. follow option A or commit any number of other criminal offenses.

2. get caught.

3. enjoy free jail food.

Option C

1. be white and live within your means.

Double dip by combining coupons with sales. Have bought many $2 items for around 50 cents that way.

To prevent me from using my credit card for impulse purchases, I freeze it in a block of ice. Then I still have the card for emergencies, but it isn't easily accessible.

I really like that idea. I havent had a credit card in five years. Dont really want to get another one.

Call the White House and ask if they have any leftovers from all the State dinners they host.
They must have some White Castle burgers to offer.

Hey there, Hells Kitchen!

I am stuck down here in (South) Texas; land of the "Dubya"! Down here, "White Castle" is fightin' words! It is all about WHATABURGER!!

Wonder how many times the "W" has served "Whataburger" at the White House? LOL! Oh, how I wish the walls of that house could talk!

I'll take a BBQ/Cheddar Burger with Fries, and make it fast, I'm runnin' late for the next execution!
