My house! It was an expensive purchase when I was first married, but now it's value has increased and I couldn't rent something comparable for I pay on the monthly mortgage, even when taxes & insurance are included. It's a long-term investment.
No. We are not on Careerbuilder and rarely use such sites to recruit.
This scam was drawn to our attention last week.
We have contacted Careerbuilder who are working with us to shut this down.
As a point of information, we NEVER randomly send emails to anyone who has not signed up to become part of our data base. All of our recruitment is done through our secure access site at www.gapbuster.com.
And any emails that we do send out come from an @gapbuster.com email address. If you receive any email that is not from that email domain, it is not from GAPbuster. In that event we would very much appreciate it if you would contact us through the website and let us know.
Preventing our name being used in this kind of scam is very important to us.
Did you lease or buy the solar panels. If you purchased them, how long do you think it will take for them to pay for themselves through your energy savings?
My smart phone! We don't have internet access because I just use my phone 95 percent of the time and tether my laptop to the phone if I really need computer access.
One of the most expensive purchases that saved us money was investing in a baby jogger. I didn't have to hire a sitter while I jogged, I could just bring my child with me. It was a great way to get exercise so it saved me from having to join a gym to lose baby weight. It was portable and it folded so we brought it on vacations. We didn't have to borrow or pay to rent a stroller. It had storage underneath so toting snacks and needed stuff was easy while out and about. No need to stop and buy a snack that probably wouldn't be healthy!
a set of iron cast cookware for $150....they actually get better as you use them....they last a lifetime and they are extremely cheap relative to the high-end stainless-steel pans...i'm able to cook more meals at home and ultimately avoid dining out
All I can say is that homeopathic medicine has worked for me on numerous occasions when doctors couldnt help. I also have vast experience with doctors misdiagnosing and mistreatment. I do not have total dependence on either method, when I am sick I will find a treatment that is suitable for me, sometimes its doctors and pharmaceuticals and other times its homeopathy, if the latter does work for some people then why not try it, it has no side effects and sometimes cures. Be open minded, people who choose homeopathy esp in more serious illness have obviously done their research and are happy to go down that path and vice versa. Not every cancer patient gets cured by chemo!
After purchasing our first home in 2008, you could say that our little nest egg had taken a big hit. Buying new appliances was a long term goal. The silver lining is that after purchasing a new energy efficient washer and dryer last winter we were more than pleased to realize that they have nearly paid for themselves in 14 mo. of use, and we got a $100.00 rebate from the state and a rebate on our federal return! This year we are saving for a new hot water heater!
I seriously think that internships should be #1 on this list. They support you financially while helping you in your field of study. Work teachings you FAR more than the classroom ever will. I worked several internships throughout school, and as a result my resume was loaded with experience before I graduated.
As far as unpaid internships, I've never felt that anyone should accept one unless it is a foot in the door at a dream job. And, there's debate about the legality of unpaid internships:
Twice in the last year I've placed big purchases with Omaha Steaks. I've used multiple coupon codes and offers at the same time, so I'm getting this "luxury" food at a pretty great price. But I'm also saving money because having a freezer full of steaks makes it easier to get excited about eating at home, instead of going out for fancy meals!
I finally bought my first car, since it was used I've had to replace and fix quite a few things on it, but I've tried to purchase really quality parts instead of the cheapest ones so that they will last a lot longer. I'm lucky to have a lot of handy friends who are sometimes able to do the repairs for me. Also I found a really good mechanic which has saved me a lot of money. I make sure to make them homemade baked goods to keep them happy :)
BEST solution for getting pet stains out (and sooo much cheaper than pet specific cleaners like Nature's Miracle)!! Just used it last night (my cat peed on my brand new mattress:( no stain and absolutely no smell as of this morning!!) I heard from my co-worker that it worked to get her dog-unskunked, too!
The grilling sounds great. There is the occasional clean up but now that you mention it, grilling does involve fewer dishes. The challenge with younger kids is keeping them happy (or not fussy) when you are getting dinner ready; later, it's keeping them from snacking right before dinner and juggling their schedules...so it can be chaotic but the less complicated meals can be just as good (and much easier than fancier stuff).
About six years ago, my husband bought a Gaggia Symphony, a fully automatic espresso maker, grinds the beans, has a frothing spigot. Although I questioned his wisdom at the time, we're over 3000 caffeine doses (you can select among three water volumes). So $675 then, and outside coffee only when traveling, or for a treat. Including maintenance and supplies, I estimate our gourmet coffee is costing around 22 cents a cup
Thanks, and your mom sounds great. It's interesting to see how folks have accommodated varying meal times of family members -- something simmering in the slow cooker sounds wonderful.
We bought a FoodSaver. At this house, we call it The Super-Duper-Super-Sucker! We shop the sales and can divide items out like a pork loin into individual packages that will stay fresh in the freezer. Also, we make sauces and soups up and freeze those in bags. Also, it has attachments for the mason jars so I can dehydrate my own herbs, etc and they keep so much longer than if they were just in a jar. It works great on rice, lentils and beans. And to boot, you can purchase the FoodSaver wine stoppers! We've tried a lot of different systems and this is the best that I've found for keeping an open bottle of wine drinkable for a few days....DEFINITELY a great money saver!
There are a lot of great ideas listed....I really like the Kindle suggestion: it makes perfect sense for an avid reader.
My BYO lunch bag is a quality item that I spent more on. It helps me take my lunches (and sometimes dinners, too!) to work. I just throw in a couple freezer packs, and I'm good to go for the day. I feel like I am saving more money on "brown bagging in style" than ordering out every day.

16 0z Hydrogen Peroxide
1 Teaspoon dishwashing liquid

Great idea to get everything done at one time.

thanks for the giveaway

When my old refrigerator and my freezer bit the dust, I replaced both with smaller but more energy efficient models.
