Food Labels
You hear it all the time, but do we really spend the time to do it?
I’ve been trying to eat more healthy, lose a couple pounds. I’ve been eating Yoplait yogurt in lieu of the breakfast sandwiches and bread.
I was eating at my desk the other day when someone walked in and said, “I had the same breakfast as you, yogurt and a banana.” He continues to tell me that the yogurt I had contains a lot of sugar. I looked. He was right. 27 or 36 grams of sugar. HUH!?!
Join the Regal Crown Club and save
Love the movies? Who doesn’t? However going to the actual theatre can get quite pricey with popcorn, soda, and candy. It all adds up. The Regal Crown Club is a membership card that can rack up points on all movie ticket purchases as well as concessions. It’s a great way to receive free tickets, popcorn, and even soda.
And the best part is all the freebies are redeemed on your next visit. The box office will hand you your freebie whenever you have racked up enough points. Its a great way to get a little something back.
Baby Name idea
My husband and I were wondering who is going to be the first to name their child, “Google”.

As 2008 is quickly winding down to a close, I have taken some time to sit back and reflect on the year that was one big roller coaster ride. This year was full of ups and downs for me and my friends. So as we countdown to the New Year, I decided to share some of my fondest memories with you. Hopefully I can hear some of your stories as well.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s a time when all of my family gets together and even some of my friends. It’s funny because food gets everyone in a good mood. We usually get together around lunchtime and we stay together for the whole night. Usually we just eat and the guys watch football. The girls usually sit around the kitchen table and talk about sales and stuff. After the football game, the guys go back to eating. I think the best part of the whole thing is probably getting the chance to see my cousins that live far from me. We never really get the opportunity to hang out. Although we do our best to keep in touch by telephone and emails, it’s the best of times when we get together.
This year we are getting together at my uncle’s house. Everyone is bringing a dish. I’m in charge of the mashed potatoes. Actually, that’s all I know how to make. The bad part is that I’m not that good at it. They come out a little too thick. This year I’m going to do things just a little bit different. I’m going to make garlic mashed potatoes. I saw the recipe for it online. If you’re in the mood than maybe you can try to make them also. I posted a link for a great recipe site for all of us to give a try. Have fun this weekend, be safe and have a very, very happy Thanksgiving.
Competition is at it’s Best–When Consumers Benefit
Because of the recent economic downturn, some of the biggest names of retailers are chopping down prices. The latest retailer to announce they’re price drop is Target. Reports show that Target earnings have dropped dramatically. So, Target executives plan to take action by matching the prices on products with their rival Wal Mart.
This should be some exciting news for consumers like us. We can now go to Target Walmart and get a great deal on products we’re looking for. Just in time for the holiday season. So no matter where you do your shopping don’t forget you might want to check out Walmart or Target. Sometimes, a little bit of competition is good for all of us!
Don’t forget!
Tomorrow is the BIG DAY! It’s the kickoff for the big celebration of California Coastal Cleanup Day! Do your part and have fun while you’re there. Meet people with the same goals. Here’s my older post with the links for more information, if you missed it the first time.
I’ve noticed they’ve added more days and more places, so that means more opportunities. Don’t miss out!
September 11, 2008
Well, today marks 7 years after that devastating day where so many lives were lost in terrorist attacks against the United States.
It seems like so long ago but in the same breath, it seems like just yesterday.
I would just like to lift up prayers for all of those who suffered a loss(es) and thank all those heroic people who made themselves known that day.
We do remember.
Research, Read & Learn
Oftentimes when I’m researching about money investing, I see Warren Buffett’s name all over the place. After seeing it so many times, I decided to do a little more research on him and not money investing.
I found these facts on Wikipedia.
His net worth is $62 billion. That’s not a typo, $62 billion! As of February of this year, Forbes ranked him the richest person in the world. His 2006 salary was only $100,00. I know, I know $100,000 is a lot of money but for someone who has $62 billion, that’s peanuts, don’t ya think? The fact that stuck out the most was that he is still living in his house in Omaha that he bought in 1958 for $31,500. It’s worth $700,000 today.
What kind of funds do you have?
A friend called me the other day. She told me she was done with Christmas shopping for the day. (WHAT?) It’s August. Christmas shopping?
She’s the same friend that told me that she was planning her daughter’s birthday party. Her daughter’s birthday is in November.
She is the different one, not me, right? I mean, how many of you out there has started Christmas shopping? How many of you are even at the point of thinking about Christmas ideas? And better yet, how many of you have put money aside for these sorts of things?
