  • Why there's no reason NOT to buy store brand baby formula.   10 years 16 weeks ago

    Wow, lets hope your kid didn't get your judgmental attitude twords people... Perhaps my "crap fed" formula son who will be taught to be accepting of people and not jump to conclusions can help smack that out of your kid if they do pick it up...

    I also guess the lactation consultant we talked to in order to address lack of supply in my wife and a poor latch that caused blood to be in the breast milk means we aren't as lucky as your high and mighty self. The consultant's job is to help with breast-feeding and they said to go to formula... It is people like you who made my wife and i cry when we first fed him formula. But after seeing him drop from 7 pounds at birth to nearly 5 after a few days due to supply and compatability issues, I guess we made the right choice as he is now 7 weeks and 10.5 lbs (something we never would have been able to say if we selfishly tried to stay with breast-feeding as he would be flipping dead!). So from all of us "unlucky" parents to you i think I can safely say shove it!

  • 5 Frugal Lessons I Learned From Aldi   10 years 16 weeks ago

    I really like ALDI's. Recently one opened up in Pittsfield ma. ALDI's doesn't have all my needs.but than again who does? I am truly grateful to have ALDI's in my area. I love the to buy the red meat for my husband as they are almost grass fed. I can tell by the less fat on them and my husband as not complained by the flavor yet. I also love that they sell organic products. And of coarse saving money at the same time.

  • Real Estate Appraisals - Ten things most people just don't understand about them   10 years 16 weeks ago

    I had a contract fall thru because the appraisal appeared to drive down the value 10%.
    1. Ingnored higher sales which were within 6 mths and 1 story like our home.
    2. Cherry picked lowest price sales with most being 2 story.
    3. Used a home not sold and still active 4sale. Again a 2 story, but also the lowest price home of 5 others 4sale.
    4. Had few comps and none for 2 story vs 1 story or our larger lot size .45 acre vs rest were .33 acre.
    5. Skewed the value by including mystery comps.
    The inpact was the assessment showed our home at a value less than the other lowest price homes.

  • Donald Trump's 5 Biggest Business Failures   10 years 16 weeks ago

    Only five failures listed? Trump Spring Water, GoTrump (travel), the USFL, Trump Magazine, Trump the Game, The Apprentice Board Game, Tour De Trump, Two failed marriages, Trump Ice, Trump Vodka, Trump Steaks, Trump Mortgage, Trump Airlines, Trump University. Speaking of Trump Casinos, it's more than "a couple of bankruptcies." 1991 Trump's Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, 1992 Trump Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City, 2004 Trump Hotels & Casinos Resorts, 2009 Trump Entertainment Resorts. Next?

    One of his favorite vices he loves to brag about is filing for bankruptcy. I can see it now, Trump's plan for the US: Declare bankruptcy, shed half the deficit and give half controlling interest to Chinese creditors.

  • 12 Foods Everybody Should Be Able to Cook by 30   10 years 16 weeks ago

    I would say legume-type soups - split pea, lentil, white bean. From dried beans, preferably. Also muffins, you can whip those up with just a fork and mixing bowl (unlike a lot of sweet breads like banana bread, which usually need a stand mixer). Also regular soups, which are easy. You don't even have to blend them if you don't want to. Just throw in whatever sounds good. Also, an addendum to your grilled sandwiches - fried egg sandwich. Exactly what it sounds like. We used to do just plain bread, mustard, egg, but then I decided why not grill it with some cheese...

    This may or may not be by the time you turn thirty, but at least before forty: learn not only how to cook the staple meats, but also the cheapest cuts. Learn what you can do with a cube steak, or round steak, or a cheap roast. Learn how many different ways you can dress up hamburger. That sort of thing.

    Finally... this article made me feel so weird. Not even twenty yet and the only ones I don't have down are the eggs and the spinach. And I don't even really like eggs. (That said, I can do scrambled eggs since I was about six and the only reason I can't do hard-boiled is because you pretty much can't do hard-boiled with laid-that-day fresh eggs._

  • Ask the Readers: How Would You Spend Your Dream Vacation?   10 years 16 weeks ago

    I have always wanted to go to Hawaii. I'd love to visit Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai and the big island of Hawaii. I'd spend a week on each island experiencing as much as I could in that week. Of course, someone else would have to pay for this because it's a "dream" vacation.

  • 10 Self-Improvement Apps to Make You Smarter, Stronger, and Happier   10 years 16 weeks ago

    Nice post, from my point of view best apps that available for iPhone to improve yourself:
    1. Elevate - for brain enchanting in very beautiful app
    2. Lumosity - brain improvement as well, but little older i would say than elevate, and very pushing to buy "pro" license
    3. Duolingo - for learning new languages, very fun and interactive
    4. Finmath - for improving mental math and finance, but very hard if you are not finance manager or top-notch banker
    5. Coursera - allow to study online even in subway with cashing.

    Would appreciate - if you can add something

  • 8 Vile Craigslist Scams to Watch Out For   10 years 16 weeks ago

  • 4 Coupon Rules That Stores Let You Break   10 years 16 weeks ago

    you're making the cashier's job much harder. because if you're trying to bend/break the rules, the cashier is afraid you'll also start arguing. i'm only talking manufacturers coupons here. Department store coupons are okay to bend. but the supermarket cashier only sees what's on the coupon and if they take anything that's expired, the supervisor might get upset.
    so don't do that to the cashier. be nice.

  • The 5 Best Hair Removal Creams   10 years 16 weeks ago

    I am an epilation fan, using a great epilator, which is Braun Silk epil model 7. I've tried for a few times some depilatory creams and the one that I liked the most was Veet. It is easy to apply and to remove, also, my skin didn't have any side effects from using it. But many people have some side effects, like burns or it isn't so efficient as it should be.

  • How to Answer 23 of the Most Common Interview Questions   10 years 17 weeks ago

    Thank you for your useful article,

    Anyway, I've had interview last year in life insurance company and it was my first time to interview!
    The difference was they just knew my contact is from my college database. So, i really did not know about the background of that company. And actually, i am not sure about my interest in insurance company *i just thought for interview experience*

    In that day, i was being interviewed by 2 people, AND I was so speechless when I got questions about insurance, policy, and so on.

    And the point is just do not come if you are not interested in the company. It was really bad feeling when you got criticize from company that you don't really want work for.

    *sorry for mistakes of my grammar, neither british or us*

  • Should You Set Up a Trust for Your Child?   10 years 17 weeks ago

    Or you can set up a trust and/or will using LegalZoom for a fraction of the cost of a regular attorney. For those of us who want the structure and legal protection of a trust for passing on assets to minor children in the event that both parents die, the online legal site can provide access to legal services that would otherwise be unaffordable.
