Every Penny Counts

Consumer source No Comments »

It doesn’t matter how low the savings might be, a penny saved is a penny earned. We all forget to save those pennies and it only costs us dollars down the road. Money is too hard to come by these days; for us to not take a little more time on how we spend it. A simple way to start is at the grocery store. We all could clip a few coupons from newspapers or find them online and that is a great way to save pennies right there. Over a year’s time of spending coupons at the grocery store each time, we would have enough to buy a steak dinner to a fine restaurant and that would be one less meal we would have to buy at the grocery store. Saving money and earning money is two ways to obtain money and it can compound really fast over an extended period of time. Perhaps you know of some other great ways to save money? Please share your tips on how we can save more cash and we can learn something from each other. Every penny does count and those pennies will lead to dollars!

Auto Air Conditioning

Consumer source No Comments »

We are now in the middle of summer and if anyone is driving around without air conditioning in their car I do feel sorry for them. It’s no fun driving in all of the heat that we get from July and August each year and to do it without A/C makes it almost impossible. I think a lot of road rage gets started on our highways out there, just because people are not cooled properly by their auto air conditioners.

You will be able to find a huge selection on the type of auto air conditioning parts you need at 1AirConditioning.com.

What Is Your Favorite Ice Cream?

Consumer source No Comments »

Do you have a favorite summer time treat? Do you like to eat cold watermelon, milk shakes or just a good old fashion banana split? I have a weird craving pattern and I will eat more ice cream and milk shakes in the winter time than I do in the summer time. I’m not sure why that is, but I have always been like that. I guess the summer heat sometimes just makes you want to eat nothing.

Do you have a favorite ice cream that you like better than all the rest? I would have to say my favorite is chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I like the little chewy dough that you get to eat when you eat this flavor of ice cream. I know there are many others that I like too. Rocky road ice cream is very good and I’m sure my buddy from New York would agree with me too, because this is her favorite flavor of ice cream. Maybe you just like a plain chocolate, vanilla or strawberry flavor of ice cream. Some other great flavors of ice cream is the vanilla with oreos in them, pralines & cream, butter pecan, coffee flavored ice cream, jamocha almond fudge, pistachio, mint chocolate chip or maybe you know of another flavor that’s really good. Just let me know what your favorite ice cream is and I hope if this post gets you to craving ice cream, you have a way to go get some or you already have some in the freezer.

Diminished Value on Your Car

Being in a car accident is no fun and can be serious. Hopefully if you have been in one before, you came away from it alright. I think we all know of someone that has been seriously hurt in an automobile accident and it’s important that we are always alert when we are behind the wheel. Sometimes we all don’t and it leads to accidents. When you have a car accident and your car gets damaged, this can cause a diminished value for your automobile. If this has happened to you, there is a way that you can get back some of that money. If your car loses value from a car accident, you can claim this loss in value to insurance companies and get back the money that is owed to you. Sometimes the accident can be your own fault and you can get that money back from your insurance company. Advocate Auto Claims is the people that can help you retrieve that money on diminished value from a car wreck. If you think you qualify for this, please get in touch with them today for a FREE estimate on your situation and find out how much money is owed to you! You might just find your self with a little extra cash in your pocket.

What is Cheese Good On?

Consumer source No Comments »

I know there are people that like cheese and then there are some people that LIKE cheese. I like it on certain things and just an average eater of cheese. I don’t find that I have to put it on everything and a lot of stuff I make sure I don’t get it with cheese on it. I like some chili cheeseburgers, but it’s hard to find people that fix them just right. I actually prefer a hamburger without cheese. So I will order most of my burgers without the normal yellow American cheese. I do like the swiss cheese better and I don’t mind eating Swiss cheese on a hamburger. I really like the Swiss and mushroom burgers that a lot of places serve now.

When I order tacos, I usually will tell them extra cheese. I find some places don’t put enough cheese on a taco and I do think cheese is good on a taco. I also like plenty of mozarella cheese on my pizzas and after working in a couple of places that sold pizza, I know I am not the only one. Lots of people will order their pizzas with extra cheese. The more cheese the merrier for a lot of pizza lovers out there. I also like cheese and nachos and that’s another good way to eat cheese. I really like it when a few jalapenos are available to go with my nachos and cheese.

Have you ever tried cheese on your chili? After you get a bowl of good chili, adding some shredded cheese on top is pretty good too. Some people will put onions, tomatoes and other toppings like this on their chili too. I must admit that adding on a few of these toppings does make the chili taste better. One thing that is very popular now is people putting cheese in their eggs. I don’t like cheese in my eggs and just prefer them scrambled and leave the cheese out. So many restaurants these days will have cheese on hand, so they can add them to their eggs or just place a slice of cheese on a sausage and egg biscuit. I don’t think cheese is a good breakfast food and I never eat cheese on or with any breakfast foods. I have sometimes had pizza left over from the night before and I will take a piece of pizza with cheese on it and have it for breakfast, but no cheese on your normal breakfast items.

Is there anything else you like cheese on? I don’t care for it on my baked potato and really only like butter on my baked potato. If you know of something that cheese is really good on, please let me know. What foods do you like to eat best with cheese? Cheesecake doesn’t count, because that really isn’t cheese, so make sure you tell me a real cheesy story!

On Planet Green from the Discovery channel they have introduced a new series called “Greensburg” that chronicles a small town in Kansas that was totally wiped out by a tornado a few years ago. The show focuses on the town as they rebuild to make it the first truly “green” city in the US.

Credit Cards for Emergencies

Consumer source No Comments »

It’s great for everyone to have a credit card and they can be very useful to have, if you use them properly. Some folks get in trouble with credit cards, because they purchase things they don’t really need or can’t afford. A credit card should be used for emergency purposes and you always want to have a lot of room on your cards for those emergencies. If your refrigerator breaks down or you have a flat tire on one of your automobiles, a credit card can quickly solve the problem with a replacement. Some people have got in trouble with credit cards and it’s hurt their credit history. Just because your credit history is not sparkling clean, doesn’t mean you can’t still get a credit card. They are lenders that provide bad credit credit cards to individuals that might need a 2nd chance. So don’t give up and think you don’t qualify for one, because the market is very competitive out there between the different credit card companies and they are all fighting for your business. If you need help in getting started and want to find a credit card that suits your needs the best; try CreditCardsClub.com for help. They feature several different credit cards and can assist you with finding the one that makes the most sense for you. Just make sure you use those credit cards wisely and they really do come in handy during emergencies.

10 Extreme Roller Coasters

Consumer source 1 Comment »

I saw an interesting article today on MSN.com. They were showcasing 10 extreme roller coasters and they had some mean looking roller coasters on there. I like to ride them ever now and then, but I’m not a huge fan of roller coasters and I do have a fear of heights. So most roller coasters would just have to take me up in the air 100 feet and they would have me scared already. Some of these extreme coasters aren’t just about height, but it’s the speeds they travel at, that make them extreme coasters. You also have to factor in the coarse these coasters take and just how many bends and loops they have in their way. I would ride any one of these 10 roller coasters, but if I did them all in one day, I would probably never ride another one again. Here are the ten coasters that MSN.com listed on their page today.

10. Beast - Ohio - Speed 64.8 MPH

9. California Screamin’ - California - Speed 55 MPH

8. Voyage - Indiana - Speed 67.4 MPH

7. El Toro - New Jersey - Speed 70 MPH

6. Titan - Texas - Speed 85 MPH

5. Goliath - California - Speed 85 MPH

4. Millinnium Force - Ohio - 93 MPH

3. Superman: The Escape - California - 100 MPH

2. Top Thrill Dragster - Ohio - 120 MPH

1. Kingda Ka - New Jersey - 128 MPH

Can you believe some of the speeds these roller coasters get up to? I think it’s amazing to think that a roller coaster can go over 70 MPH and many on this list do that and more! As you can see most of these roller coasters come from the states of California, New Jersey and Ohio. I guess these are the main states that have the roller coaster riders in them or attract visitors out of state, so they can ride these extreme roller coasters.

The Kingda Ka is not only the fastest roller coaster in the country, but it is also the tallest coaster in the United States at 456 feet tall! You talk about a roller coaster that is the meanest and extremist of all; I think you would have to award that to the Kingda Ka. If you would like to ride this awesome roller coaster, you will need to go to the Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey and this is where you will find the Kingda Ka. This ride will only take 28 seconds to ride, so it’s very short time, but you can expect to go from 0 to 128 miles per hour in only 3.5 seconds!

If you don’t want to jump on the biggest and best right away, they are some more roller coasters you could try on the list first. If you did make the trip to New Jersey to ride the Kingda Ka, you could also make plans to ride the El Toro in New Jersey. You will find the El Toro Roller Coaster in the same Six Flags Park that has the Kingda Ka, so you could get two great roller coaster rides just by visiting the Six Flags in Jackson, New Jersey. The El Toro is the fastest wooden roller coaster in the country and it can travel at 70 miles per hour!

Things are starting to get exciting as the Renuzit TriScents Home Makeover is nearing to an end and finding one lucky winner. I could imagine there is some very anxious home owners hoping they can make the final cut of them all and be crowned the winner in this $20,000 home makeover contest from Renuzit TriScents! The semi-finalists have been announcned and it’s really tough to pick a winner out of the 10 remaining contestants that remain in this exciting contest opportunity.

If you would like to help pick a winner, then please visit the semi-finalist gallery and submit your votes. You may vote 1 time a day until June 7th and help 1 lucky home owner get a $20,000 home makeover. The winner will get their home improvements made with the help of Renuzit TriScents and with Tayna Memme! I can only imagine what is going through the mind of the final 10 people that remain in this contest and they have done real well just to make it this far in the contest. They still have one more obstacle to cross and now it’s up to these home owners to get as many votes as they can before June 7th, so they can be the lucky winner of the $20,000 Home Makeover from Renuzit TriScents.

The room above is located in one of the semi-finalists home that remain in this $20,000 home makeover contest. The home owners here found a house they liked, but the previous owner had cats and left a terrible odor behind. These home owners are ashamed to even have company over, because the smell is that bad. When they do have company over, they have to go through the process of spreading and spraying certain odors in the air to cover up the smell. Now no home owner should have to go through that or feel embarrass of the smell when company or family come over to visit. I thought that was a pretty good reason to vote for this home owner in the Renuzit TriScents contest with Tayna Memme. However, the deciding factor came in when the home owners here mentioned they had a baby on the way. I don’t think no children should be exposed to odors such as these, not to mention what the parents might be spraying in the air to help cover the odors. These fumes should not be consumed by adults too much, but a baby doesn’t need anything like this and especially in their first few years. So I voted for this home owner and it was their baby on the way that made this an easy choice for me. Please consider this home owner when you cast your vote from someone listed in the semi-finalist gallery and let’s help one child come into this world with a home that has just had a $20,000 home makeover

I have had some car dealerships to give me a price and as soon as I start to try and bargain with them, they tell me that they don’t do that here and they give you the lowest price the first time. As soon as they say that, I just say thank you and walk out. I must see that I’m getting a cheaper price for me to buy. Do you like to talk down the price at car dealerships? Please be sure to let me know some of your tactics and maybe I can use them and CARCHEX to really get a good deal!

Mickey Mantle Rookie Cards In My Oysters?

Consumer source 3 Comments »

You know that it has been said that pearls are made from oysters. What if there was something else you could find in your oysters. What would you like to find in your oysters? I’m sure gold, diamonds or cash would be a nice surprise to find opening up an oyster. I know something that is just as good as diamonds, gold or even cash and that would be a rookie baseball card of Mickey Mantle. That is what I would like to open up and find in my Gulf oysters.

1952mantle.jpg

Now the 1952 rookie card of Mickey Mantle isn’t just one of the most popular baseball cards of all time, but it is one of the most desired sports memorabilia in all of sports. I have seen this card valued at $50,000, but if you had one in mint to near mint condition it would be just about priceless or at least worth a million dollars. Mickey Mantle is one of the most popular New York Yankee players of all time and his rookie card in 1952 is just as popular as the Honus Wagner tobacco card that was made a few decades before Mantle’s Topps Rookie Card.

So as you can see this would be a really nice find in an oyster. Pearls are nice and worth money too, but the sports side of me would love to own a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle Rookie Card. Not only would I have a great baseball card in my oyster, but get all the good things that can be found in oysters. Oysters are known as a good source of zinc, vitamin B-12 and those ever growing popular omega -3 fatty acids. Oysters are very nutritional for our bodies and it’s important to remember a few things when eating raw or undercooked oysters. Always be informed, be cautious, be smart and above all be sure that your oysters are prepared in a way that agrees with your body! Oysters should NOT be eaten by those people with liver disease, diabetes or a weak immune system. If you want to learn more about oysters and make sure they are safe for you to enjoy, please go to BeOysterAware.com and learn more about these delicious treats from the mighty oceans!

The slow approach can work really well if you can just stick to it. Don’t set your goals too high and maybe try to just lose 1 pound a week. All you really need to do is change 1 thing in your current lifestyle habits. Choose something that is the easiest for you. Is eating less or exercising more the most convenient for you? Just one of these steps can get you started.
