Can’t win for losing

How are your gas prices?

I went to the gas pump to day and had to pay $3.49/gallon.  That is ridiculous.  How in the world are we supposed to buy the necessities when gas is so high and milk is almost $5 a gallon here?
What is gas like where you live?  I can’t wait to hear how expensive it is […]

Increase your stimulus check by 10%

What will you be using your stimulus check for? Will you be paying off a debt? Or will you buy groceries? Turns out, Sears, KMart, and Kroger have the right idea. If you take your check to one of these stores, you can cash the whole check in for gift cards […]
