Tips and Information on...everything!
If you’ve been paying attention to the calendar you know that fall is quickly approaching.
And that of course means this year’s mowing season will soon be coming to an end.
If your lawn mower has seen its better days you’re probably thinking you’ll need to replace it with a new one come spring.
But truth be told, waiting till spring to buy a new mower instead of buying one in the fall would likely be a huge mistake.
Do you often find yourself in need of just a small amount of bacon bits, olives or some other salad ingredient for a recipe you’re planning to prepare?
As you probably know, buying an entire container of an ingredient you rarely use can be a huge waste of money.
But there’s a very simple way to buy exactly the small amount of those specialty ingredients you need, when you actually need them.
When you go grocery shopping do you automatically select items in the larger “family-size” packages in order to pay less per unit (i.e. per ounce or per serving)?
I actually did that until recently because… well, everyone knows you save money when you buy in bulk, right?
Well, I found out by accident that’s not always the case.
If you’re like me you probably get frustrated every time you pay your electric bill.
After all, that monthly check you send off to the power company is one of your largest household expenses.
And like mine, your electric bill probably seems to go up on a regular basis.
These days most folks are doing everything they can to lower their electric usage.
You can turn off the light when you leave a room and turn the thermostat up or down a degree or two, but things like that can only do so much for reducing your electricity usage.
But there’s one simple thing you can do to dramatically lower your electric bill, starting right this moment: Shift your appliance usage to off-peak hours!
Question from Gary: If a website offers a “Keep me signed in” or “Remember me” option I always select it so I won’t have to sign in every time I visit that site.
But there are a couple of sites that I visit every day that occasionally require me to sign in even if I’ve previously checked the “Keep me signed in” or Remember me” option.
I don’t have to sign in to those sites every time, just occasionally. But it’s usually at least once or twice a week.
For some reason that really irritates me. Why do they even offer the option to stay signed in if they aren’t going to honor it?
But that’s just a rhetorical question. My real question is why is this happening and how can I fix it?
