Mine is bigger that yours

It seems that lots of people have a extra fridge in the garage. I personally find it silly, your fridge should be big enough. however, the problem is the freezer. Don't believe me, just take a look at your freezer. It's pack isn't it. I suggest you get a extra freezer, not a extra fridge. You will be able to buy extra items on sale that can be frozen, and save big time. For example, during turkey season when turkey prices are at the lowest,you could buy 3 or 4 frozen turkey for later. I have score many times on items priced for quick sale. Pork loin at 1.69/lbs or prime rib at 1.77/lbs. ground beef at 1.49/lbs. Further more you can freeze home made bread or even milk.
I personally like a none frost free upright style freezer (it uses less energy). Our freezer was on sale and is bigger that our fridge. I got to say that I don't worry about freezer space anymore. Yep, mine is bigger that yours.

Cut the middle man out... on soda water

Ah summer is around the corner and before you know it, it's going to be pretty damn hot. Nothing like a ice cold sparkling drink. Soda water in my case. You can save a lot by making your own at home, Plus it is extremely environmental friendly. Reuse the same bottle, no trips to the store, etc... However, you need to use purified water. Sparkling tap water taste... no so good, the carbonation brings out the chlorine taste. Anyway, I got one of these DIY soda water contraption some time ago and still love it. check it out at http://www.sodaclub.com/

Loyalty to businesses doesn't always pay

I really don't have time to write long blogs, but I will post any personal findings that is truly a money saver. I know that some people are very loyal to a company. I had been with Wells Fargo for a couple decade. But one day I got tied of the fees and looked for a alternative bank. My choose was E-Trade. So far I am very happy with them. Another area I looked was the value of the service. By switching from 21st century (car insurance) to Ameriprise (Costco's membership benefit), I lower my insurance cost by 50 bucks AND got 100/300/100 instead of 21st 15/30/5 ! everything else in the policy is pretty much the same. Go Costco!

Loyalty to businesses doesn't always pay... It blinds you!
