Not too long ago, I wrote about the “recession diet.” While we may not technically or officially be in a recession, many people are nevertheless feeling the pinch. And with food prices rising, it is no surprise that Spam is seeing an increase in sales (hat tip: Miki at Leadership Turn).
Yep, items that are considered […]
Right now, one of the issues afflicting consumers is the increasing cost of air travel. Indeed, I wrote about a new policy to charge $15 for a first checked bag not too long ago. And Million Dollar Journey has a rather enlightening post on increasing airline charges, including new fuel surcharges.

With worries about a recession coming in the midst of higher oil prices, it has come to my attention that my 5 tips for saving money on gas is missing something: Prayer. That’s right. We should be praying for lower gas prices. The Baltimore Sun has this story about one man’s quest to get God […]

I do yoga everyday — even if it is just the Sun Salutation sequence in the morning. It centers me. And apparently […]
Happily, my husband’s beloved Giants won the Super Bowl yesterday. Yay! But I also something else that made me smile. While most of the Super Bowl commercials were lame-ish, I did enjoy these E-Trade baby stock investing commercials. I do like online discount brokers.
