As someone who enjoys this whole personal finance thing, I read many blogs every day. A lot of the content on them is about investing your money. Where to invest, how to invest, how to diversify and many other things you can do and then sit back and watch your money grow.
That’s all fine and […]
On Friday, I packed my lunch dutifully as I’ve done for the past 10 years (I eat out for lunch at work perhaps once every 3-4 months). It was hot dog day because we had a BBQ a few days prior and we had several left over hot dogs. I packed everything I needed including […]
When you shop at a place like Circuit City or Best Buy and buy an electronic gizmo, when you get to the register you’ll be asked a question like “Would you like to buy the three year extended warranty for this gizmo? It will only cost $49.99 and will cover you for three years for […]
My wife and I went to a free concert on Friday, courtesy of our local public radio station. Of course, I shouldn’t say “free” because you have to be a member of the radio station to win their contests. However, membership starts at $25 and we get to deduct the cost of the membership from […]
As I mentioned yesterday, we just bought ourselves a new (used) car. We ended up getting a Honda Civic GX. We got a good price on it, paying only about $6,500 for the car. What we like about the car is

We just bought ourselves a new (used) car the other day (I’ll talk about the reasoning we used to justify the car in another post).

I’m a big fan of sites like Slickdeals.net, which collect and display great deals on things from computers to baby stuff to food. Just this last week I printed up a coupon from there for a Buy one get one free from Jamba Juice (link good through July 4, 2007). We went to Jamba juice […]
It’s spring cleaning time and garage sales are popping up all over the place. They are fun to go to, and you get amazing deals sometimes. You’ll find gifts that have never been opened for 10% of the price new, or sometimes even less. I don’t do the garage sale thing often because we try […]
I’ve seen a lot of things in the past week about weddings and how much they cost. (The funniest one was a devil’s advocate post at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity titled Don’t Get Married.) So I thought I’d talk a bit about how my wife and I saved on our wedding last year (and a […]
The post earlier about putting in a closet in the babies room reminded me of a great money saving tip that I discovered when we were shopping for the drawers and stuff to put in the baby’s closet.
After looking at a number of different closet interior companies (Closets by design, Easy Closets, California Closets, ClosetMaid) […]
