I recently heard Clark Howard say that you can save up to 30% at the grocery store simply by buying store brands. Hum … That makes a lot of sense. The stores also tend to put their store brand on sale before they put the name brands on sale. Something else that you might not […]
I just love reading about how the price of new cars are going down. I can’t find that when I went out to find a used mini van. But there is a new car in India for about $2500. If you go to Clark Howard and check out his video minutes, there is a great […]
Phone companies have thought up yet another way to get money out of you. Verizon is starting to play AT&T’s dirty tricks by charging customers a fee for long distance even if you don’t use it.
What?
I remember years ago when I had a land line, the companies were trying to charge me an $8 a […]
I was listening to Clark Howard the other day and he said he would shoot up a list of free software that you could download. I found it and wanted to share it with you. It is a great little list that you will enjoy perusing. There is everything from Anti-spam (we can always use […]
My social security number . . . now that’s a very sensitive moderately paranoid subject for me.
I’m just curious to know, how well do you protect your social security number? Do you have it posted on your checks? Is it on your driver’s license? Do you give it freely when stores ask for identification?
I’m just warning […]
Last year, 17,000 new products were introduced into the market and about 4,000 of them claim to be “organic” or “all natural.” Just because a product says it’s organic doesn’t mean it is. And, just because it’s organic doesn’t mean it’s good for you.
Lay’s has some new organic potato chips. They have sea salt and […]
The IRS free tax filing program is now available. There are income restrictions though. It would be beneficial to figure out your adjusted gross income before you start. Your adjusted gross income must be less than $52,000 a year to use the free program. The free program has changed each year, so be sure to […]
I got a bill in the mail this weekend. At first I told my husband to shred it. It looked like one of those fake bills from some company that is just trying to sucker you out of some money. So, the bill was in the shred pile and I got to thinking maybe I […]
This past year my husband received a letter from the federal government informing us that veteran information was stolen. Later we received a letter telling us that although the information was stolen, it was recovered and nothing was compromised. I’m not so sure how much of that I believe.
There have been 788 incidents of lost information by the federal […]
I have always been very skeptical of giving out my personal information. There certainly are plenty of identity theft horror stories out there to make a person think about the information they give out.
The most recent edition of Reader’s Digest explores identity theft and lets readers know about the the latest target for theives: medical […]
