Re: Quick Question - Would you tip for a bed delivery?

I had a bed delivered last summer, and tipped the two delivery guys $10 each. The same when I had a dryer delivered the year before that. But maybe I should have tipped them each a few dollars more. A Mc Donald's meal is more than $10, lol If my income was a bit better, I would have tipped $20 each....

Re: Staying with products that work for me

I could say rather I am trying to stay with products that work for me. So many have been discontinued. Locally I can no longer find, the decaf tea I prefer, Nabisco zwieback, they don’t make it anymore. When Keebler bought out Sunshine cookies a few years ago. They no longer made Hydrox cookies. I ...

Re: Staying with products that work for me

YES.YES.YES. Especially in the last handful of years, I've really come to realize that trying to save a buck or two here and there, but getting stuff that just doesn't work well enough for me, or I don't love it, and won't use it up, is a big waste of money and time. And that's not frugal at all. An...

Why can't she shut off the utilities? Or stop paying the bills and the companies will shut off the utilities for that.
Find out if she can legally remove the doors. If not, remove a couple of windows and nail a tarp over them.

Re: Idea for a small bday gift / 55-60ish yr old female friend?

A box of note cards, and postage stamps. A box of 10 cars is about $12 at Hallmark. A half book of ten stamps is 6.80. Note cards with her initial on them looks like you put some effort in (lol), and then it's harder for her to regift them. I've given cards/stamps many times over the years, and it a...

Re: Lipitor?

A sudden realization: I've nearly given up all cheese (which, for a part-French person...), and my cholesterol went UP. If I eat a bit more cheese... It's an experiment worth trying. :P Ahhh! Maybe!! There's no telling if your cholesterol will go down, or how long it might take, but IMO, cheese is ...
