Trader Joes and the like will be out of business in 1 year maybe less
due to high energy prices.
Gas in my neck of the woods is over 4.19 p/g. and climbing.
On stagnant wages you DO NOT shop at a Trader Joes.
One or two stores may linger on in a wealthy area.
At 4.99 P/G for gas the United States slips into a depression.

Why not take it all the way--make plastic coins. Maybe polycarbonate
embedded with RFID.

Why not go with a truly renewable resource, like wood?

TOPIC: Get rid from hair loss problems, receive free offers from us.

When it comes to hair loss solutions, everyone's situation is
different and personal. While heredity is the primary cause of hair
loss in most cases, the severity of hair loss, its pattern, and the
impact on that person's life is truly unique. For many men and women,
the benefits of a permanent solution to hair loss, hair restoration,
is the right choice. For most of us who are experiencing premature
baldness, the cause is genetic. Contrary to common belief, hair loss
is not caused by a failure to take good care of your hair. Consumers
waste millions of dollars on shampoos and phony, non-FDA approved
treatments. (Only two medications, Rogaine and Propecia, have ever
been approved by the FDA to treat hair loss.) With over 33 years
experience, we are proud to offer all FDA approved solutions for the
medical treatment of hair loss, as well as a complete line of hair
care products, specially formulated to nourish and invigorate your
hair and scalp. We have launched Lasercomb, which is clinically proven
to regrow hair that is thicker, healthier and more vibrant. Also, hair
formula for fine and thin hair, a complete system to treat thin and
dry hair. Not only this, we have also many products to keep hair
healthy and glowing. So, friends if you are interested to know more
about these products,

Hello!
The Sony service says today that the camcorder is normal. The contact
personel did not test the camcorder. The Sony service does not allow
to contact technicians which tested the camcorder the days before.

I bought 4 tall book cases for $10 each at a yard sale the other day! (They
want $100 - $200 each for these at furniture stores.)

Seems to me those who can't budget or live within their means are suddenly
in "sell mode" due to high gas prices, etc. They are starting to sell off
the "good stuff" at yard sales (not just junk they want to get rid of).

So a good time for us frugal folks with extra cash on hand to buy, buy, buy.
(If it is something you need that is.)

The sellers seem quite willing to take very low offers now whereas before
they would say no to low offers. I think they need the cash!

I find garage sales completely variable. Some folks give their stuff
away and others want almost retail. So far it doesn't seem different
this year. Traffic was way down at the big sub sale near by, but that
traffic was motivated to buy and the sellers seemed as happy. In hard
times you should expect more people looking for bargains too so it
equals out. I thought the number of trash pickers would slack off too
with gas, but they still come by in 4X4's, idling while they sort
through the boxes.

cents a pound and I normally have about 6 pounds. Factoring in the time

many people confuse being frugal with being a cheapskate, if something
or a service is of value to you spending money on it is not unfrugal

Just read an article that predicted gas will cost between $12-$15 per
gallon by year 2010. Better start looking for a second part-time job
or working overtime to help pay just for gas expenses in the future.
The analysts say it's heading our way.

So are electric cars, very high speed internet and (hopefully) better
public transit and city planning.

Simply put it's a waste of money. No real benefit...

Best use of money is to invest in a pump and a tire gauge and check
your tire pressure (cold) every week-- and add air if you need it. A
tire gauge is less than $10 and an inexpensive electric pump isn't
much more.

In some states, it's illegal to mount a GPS on the windshield
http://www.gpsreview.net/windshield-gps-installations-illegal-in-some-states/

What I do, on a BMW, is flip out the antenna on the nuvi horizontal to the
road and stick it in the cockpit air conditioning and heater vents.

The cantilever design of the antenna works perfectly to mount the Garmin
nuvi 6xx series.

The other option is to shove the Garmin as far down on the dash as you can
to wedge it in at the windshield as shown here
http://www.conti.net/bmwcca/garmin.jpg

I've used both methods for about a year now (ever since the socket part of
my Garmin nuvi ball-and-socket joint cracked).

Now THAT's frugal living!

So, in your opinion, Shrillary's mind isn't right?

She's already lost to "McDumbShit". That's what we're discussing.

My son and daughter-in-law work retail. They're nuts!

I wish I could remember his name. I remember the store manager's name
-- Owen Day. There was a slogan: "Sears Days are Day's days, so let's
get goin' with Owen." We had to say it in unison.

No, I'm frugal. Bruno's a woodworker. Or maybe it's Fernando... Did I
tell you about my $5 skis+boots? The original jerk posted into several
unrelated newsgroups. As we all know from experience, some bait is
irresistible...

Hmm, I thought they all drove big Cadillacs with leopard skin

I used to go to a theatrical ticket agent and would depart thinking,
what a job!!
a. customer either takes or leaves it, (picked seat from a chart.)
b. no quibbling on price.
c. stock can be housed in a couple of shoeboxes, at least at the
time....
d. no returns.
e. low overhead
f. miniscule - store was about 15 square feet.
f. one person operation.
g. able to refuse telephone orders or 'put it on hold - I'll be right
down".

Not sure what his cut was, but I bet he slept well at night.

My second choice would be perfume shop - for a lot of the above
reasons.

I am just an average mom who fell for a lot of scams but, in the
process I was able to find some really great oppritunities that have
helped me gain financial freedom.

I really had to work though. No one is gonna give you money for no
work! So I put in 3-4hrs a day and within 1 month I had my first
check!

Every month after that the more work I put in the bigger my checks
got!!! My family just went on our first trip to Disney 2 weeks ago!! 1
year ago I would have never imagined to be where I am today!!

I really hope this information is useful. Hopefully I can help someone
like me!!

Women's health & Weight loss Knowledge is the CRITICAL factor that
separates healthy, fit, attractive women from average women struggling
to stay healthy.

The purpose of the extensive women's health and weight loss
information you'll find here is to teach you not only how to identify
women's health, weight loss and nutrition problems but, how to fix
them as well.
