It takes about a year to recoup the costs but they're coming down in price and rarely burn out. I had one in my garage that was on constantly and lasted 8 years.Remohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431607542722701491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-91769359888391798572010-10-17T20:55:15.486-05:002010-10-17T20:55:15.486-05:00I didn't know that, Meesha!

I might get up enough nerve to ask the two people who borrow mine to split the cost, but now I know there is an alternative.Donna.

I go online and reserve my books and when they email they are in, I take back the ones I have read and pick up the ones I have on hold. Have checked out 15 right now! I'm only in the library about 5 minutes.

I don't go to Sam's very often as I tend to pick up things I wouldn't normally buy but sure like their cleaning supplies and laundry detergent in bulk.Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-19284494971838453082010-10-17T01:57:52.207-05:002010-10-17T01:57:52.207-05:00Dee from Tennessee

First time we have had one in years.<br /><br />We love the canned white chicken from Sam's and walnuts, pecans, and almonds. Will miss that chicken since I've learned to use it in so many things! We've already dropped our comprehensive coverage, increased our homeowner's deductible --- trying to do lots of little things but it's still gonna be tough. But having said that, we have SO MUCH to be thankful for -- the Lord has blessed us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-18204017732707783952010-10-16T19:07:14.614-05:002010-10-16T19:07:14.614-05:00Good idea about the comprehensive on the car insur...Good idea about the comprehensive on the car insurance. That is something I need to do. Although the car runs fine it is 10 years old and I think it's time to do just that. Anyway I really thought you both looked pretty thin in that motorcycle picture.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-2450773813925018912010-10-16T14:33:55.197-05:002010-10-16T14:33:55.197-05:00I have had to cut costs by turning off our cable t...I have had to cut costs by turning off our cable tv. We have a Tracfone, so no contracts. We don't buy in bulk and don't have a card for Sam's or anything like that. We buy meat and produce and dairy that has been marked down however and stock up on that.Adirondackcountrygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647770774053345725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-78873242535061016642010-10-16T13:30:09.052-05:002010-10-16T13:30:09.052-05:00I gave up my club membership to Sam's, a coupl...I gave up my club membership to Sam's, a couple years ago 'cause I was buying things I didn't need, in quanities too large to whittle down. My hubby is 71 and may be forced to retire soon... so I'll be joining that new LEAN club too.TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-3171500265678772112010-10-16T13:09:52.868-05:002010-10-16T13:09:52.868-05:00HD antenna is the same as regular antenna, jus pri...HD antenna is the same as regular antenna, jus priced higher.I have one at home and it works fine, although I don't use it. At the store they will try to sell you an overpriced antenna but regular rabbit ears would do.<br />Several times a year there is a book sale in the Metcalf South mall in Overland Park, KS, sponsored by the friends of the library. They sell books for pennies, you can get a whole year's worth for $15 or $20.There is one coming up in November I think.<br />And the warehouse club memberships are easy enough to share and split the cost.kcmeeshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640259113083899984noreply@blogger.com
