If you haven’t been to Zion’s National Park … you should make it a point to go. You won’t be disappointed. It is one of Utah’s greatest attractions … and we have plenty! If you’re a senior citizen (age 62) you can get a National Park Golden Age Passport for $10.00 that will allow you [...]
Over the years I’ve tried many ways to save money in our family but one of the best things I think I ever did was learn to cut hair. Mom had always cut our hair (I can maybe remember 4 or 5 times going to the beauty shop for special occasions) so it just seemed [...]
My son, Warren, wrote a well articulated blog on a subject that I know holds a lot of interest for many of us. What helps the most, buying U.S. only products or shopping for the best bang for the buck, even though it often means buying imported products? I think it can be quite a [...]

Costco has been good to us when it comes to our electronic purchases and today was no exception. Last February when Mother started going downhill and we needed to take turns staying up with her all night, Lynn went to Costco and purchased a Nintendo DS and games to help me stay awake during my [...]

Don’t you just love when you wake up one morning and decide to swap the furniture in two rooms? At least these two rooms adjoin each other by way of an arch … but still, that’s a lot of sweat. However, we did it ourselves, Honey and me; 3 large sofa’s, a piano, a cedar [...]
So I’m in trouble. I got busted. I’ve been to too many 70% off sales this week and Honey isn’t jumping with joy over my savings. If he only knew how many things I put back before I got to the check out stands! And I didn’t even tell him we decided to skip Michael’s [...]
I have Excedrin Headache #43 … chocolate. It came from Costco so I think they should be held responsible. It came in the form of Moose Munch … on the right side of the package … the dark kind. I don’t know how it got into my cart … or into my mouth for that [...]
I wanted to do something different in the living room this year for Christmas so I got this clever brainy idea to wrap all the pictures hanging on the walls in the living room in Christmas wrapping paper with big bows. Then I decided to wrap the two 7 foot high book cases that are on [...]
It’s creeping up more and more … and I’m not talking about underwear here … I’m talking about Black Friday. Tomorrow is Friday, Nov. 2nd, and already Walmart is having an early super sized Christmas sale. Now that’s cool … unless the real Black Friday, the one after Thanksgiving, is going to be a Blacker [...]
