Actually, the Diderot effect is bidirectional, in the sense that it can trigger a cascade of aligning the constellation of your possessions to match a new acquisition, but it is also the force that maintains the consistency and coherence of the pattern among one's possessions. In other words, the same force that drives rolling style changes is the one that resists change to begin with by constraining the consumer to stay within his or her existing pattern.
When it comes to couponing, you have to be diligent. There are coupons for unprocessed items, healthy processed items, and most of your toiletry needs. However, you could look for 2 or 3 weeks and find nothing. I find that it goes in waves.
I clip coupons for a Marine Corp base in Japan. When I'm getting ready to send the priority mail envelope (every 6-7 weeks), I go through and tally up the amount. I get a very good idea of the full range of coupons available over 2 months, and there's a lot of variety.
On a side note, am I the only one who eats chocolate and *some* processed foods in the blogosphere? There's always a number of anti-processed food commenters posting.
I also dropped all extras on my home phone and switched long distance and local toll calls to a small provider. My home bill is now about $10/month, plus between $2-5 for local tolls. I like having a landline and even have an old-fashioned heavy black dial phone. While it's not something I use a lot, it's good to have in event of power outages.
Finally, I am considering dropping my alarm company and instead rigging up various security items to sound an alarm in my house. I really don't need the police called - I can handle my own problems. I just need a few minutes head start :)
The downside is that I do get a discount on my home insurance, so I'd be losing that.
But.... if you review the prices in the grocery store, prices have risen significantly. Combined with the 'shrink ray', I believe there is inflation. Add in rising utilities costs and you come up with financial pain.
Having lost everything, I do not use business cards presently. But I cannot wait to design and use business cards again once I am back on my feet. They symbolize stability and security and the reassumption of my status as a tax-paying citizen.
We have a small business in a small town, and we most definitely use them! Plus, our business is not conducive to a web-based business, so we really need the cards!
Yes, we use business cards for my husbands part time business and I use them as personal cards that I give to people with my name, address, email,etc. listed on them.
Thanks so much.

Rarely. I prefer connecting with people on LinkedIn, where all their contact info is anyway. Once I've met someone in person or via phone, I search for them and add them. Keeps the clutter down, too.
hey guys, hoping to get a little help here. I recently did my first home brew of beer and got interested in making shine after seeing that show Moonshiners (cheesy I know!). I put roughly 1.5lbs of sugar into a pot with 1 gallon of water and boiled it. I cooled it off to about 80 degrees and then took some of the yeast that I harvested from the bottom of my fermenter after I carbonated my beer the weekend before. I wasn't even sure if what I took from the bottom of the jar was going to be alive or not. i capped it in the fermenter and put a blow off tube on it. I woke up this morning and there are small bubbles coming up so it's doing it's thing but when I brewed the beer, the first 3 days there were serious rolling bubbles coming up to the top. That is not the case here. Is that normal? Also, the type of beer I made says that it came with English Ale yeast. Since that is a type of brewing yeast, should I have used a lot more sugar in my gallon mix? I realize that when all is said and done, this isn't going to make much but I just wanted to experiment before deciding to get my hands on a 5 gallon bottle to ferment in. Which brings me to my next question, would a 5 gallon poland spring bottle be okay as a fermenter?
one final question, I didn't have any sanitizer but I washed everything well before starting this process, I assume that since I will eventually have to distill this, the heat involved in distillation will take care of keeping everything safe? I will just make sure to sanitize whatever I use to distill though I may just try to freeze the fermented product and get the alcohol that way before investing in some type of still
I bought a thousand business cards more than 3 years ago and I've probably gone through a third of them... while my work relies on word of mouth most of the contact has been digital so it's very easy to find my business and people to stay in touch... I think as long as they remember your name (or you originally corresponded via email or social media), businesses in my field (entertainment/media) are very smart when it comes to finding someone's presence online which, I might add, is ABSOLUTELY a must.
No, but I probably should. I'm trying to get a tutoring business off the ground, and I do several other things (writing and such) that would benefit from having a card to pass around. And there's always the free lunch factor...
I use business cards to hand out to new contacts at conferences and workshops.
I have used business cards, back before I was laid off and traded careers I used them all the time to make contacts and networks!
Yes, but not in a long time. I live in a small town and word of mouth works well.

Decisions, decisions...
I use business cards when meeting new clients, but in the age of cell phones, the use has declined.
yes, I use them to get contacts
But.... if you review the prices in the grocery store, prices have risen significantly. Combined with the 'shrink ray', I believe there is inflation. Add in rising utilities costs and you come up with financial pain.
I use business cards frequently for networking purposes in the Film industry. Super helpful!
No I haven't just yet,
I believe I do not have a use for business cards, but I surely will be using them once I start my own company
