My Foolproof Method to Grocery Shopping

This guest post from Errol Chang

I am a creature of habit and that applies to all aspects of my life, even when Shopping for Groceries. My friends never except my offers to come along because they say it takes me long to get out of the door of my home, let alone drive to the store. I admit it, I have a system and I stick with it.

Each week I carefully plan my family’s upcoming meals for the week. Once I have that list completed, I check my local paper and online for coupons to go along with my planned purchases. Although I always purchase the staples–milk, eggs, butter, and cheese–I sometimes tweak my shopping list to coincide with what’s on sale that week. My kids of course love snacks like chips, dip and the most popular cereals, but only those with coupons make it on the list. This practice saves my family a lot of money.

After the total perusal of any and all available coupons, I round-up my most-reluctant children; who, like my friends, don’t enjoy shopping with me. The next steps in my system is to make sure everything is turned off–stove and other appliances–and then, finally, right before leaving the house, I make sure I set my home security alarm system.

Online Trading

My brother-in-law, Mike, is getting pretty good with this Online Trading that he started dabbling in last year right around election time. His brother-in-law is a well established Online Broker and has been teaching him some tricks of the Stock Trading business and getting him up to speed.

The economy is forcing a lot of us to look into options that we normally wouldn’t even consider. Mike doesn’t seem to be the type of guy that would be into IRA Accounts and Mobile Trading, much less doing any good at it, but life is full of surprises. I’m glad for him because he does have a large family that needs tending to and they (much like everyone else) are pinching pennies and just trying to keep the roof over their heads, food on the table and soon there will be the need for heat with winter right around the corner.

21st Birthday Party

I appreciate the guest post, Emerson Moses

I decided to use an online birthday party store to create an unforgettable 21st birthday celebration for my best friend. It is a once in a lifetime event, after all! I began my preparations about 8 weeks before the big day. I logged on using my huges net satellite internet service and searched various sites before choosing the one that I most liked.

Partycity.com is the site that I chose to purchase the things that were needed for the birthday bash. I’d been in there stores before, so I knew that the prices were always the best, and I liked the themes that they carried. Since my best friend has a bit of a wild side, I wanted to go with a feel good, get drunk celebration!

I chose a huge banner that featured balloons and 21 plastered all over it with bottles of champagne from hughes net internet in California. I also ordered 200 regular balloons (complete with a air tank) as well as 50 mylar balloons to fill the ball room. I got strobe lights streamers, and some really cool invitations that were personalized for free!

The party turned out fantastic, with more than 100 people in attendance. I saved a lot of money shopping online with PartyCity.com and would recommend checking them out when you need anything party related!

What Happened To All The Rain Today?

I had wanted to go to the flea market today with a friend. But all week long they have been saying that Sunday was going to be raining. And the forecast on Saturday had it up to a 80% chance of thunder storms. So at the last minute we changed our plans and what happens – not one drop of rain all day!

Teen Abuse Issues

My youngest brother has two step sons that are making his life challenging, to say the least. He had no idea what he was getting himself into when he married he latest wife, I feel for him. Right now they are busy looking for a teen rehab center to place the eldest of the two into. Right when school is getting ready to start all Hell has broken out and instead of going shopping for back to school supplies and clothes they are looking into teen rehab info.

The teen addiction statistics are staggering. Even with all the drug awareness programs that have been implemented into the school systems, like D.A.R.E. for example, there just isn’t enough out there to help prevent drug and alcohol abuse with our kids. So the need for good teen alcohol rehab and a good teen drug rehab centers is going to keep rising each year. The Internet will be a great resource for my brother and his wife during these times and wish them the best of luck.
