Just tidbits about money and finance.
From the monthly archives:
Two weeks ago, I went to the Farmer’s Market and bought a huge loaf of bread, two bell peppers, a bag of salad mix, and two croissants. All of it cost $20.00, which is a crazy lot of money to pay, but everything was fresh, tasty and made locally. Considering that I packed 3 lunches [...]

Frugal Law Student tries baking soda instead of toothpaste. Read for his wife’s comment. Cracks me up! I am a Crest devotee in Clean Mint flavor. But I like to buy it on sale.

It was $11 I didn’t need or use anymore.
In fact, that snappy iPod I won last year has gone AWOL. Frankly, I don’t really miss it. I was balking at spending the $50-$100 needed to get a car adapter which is all I would use it for anyway. No iTunes spending for me.

A long time ago, I wrote a Nalgene bottle post. I love that post because I *heart* Nalgene bottles.
This month, I have a new reason to love Nalgene bottles. I go car camping a few weekends a year. I usually don’t have to buy a lot of extra food, but I like taking things like [...]

OMG! KAWAII!
I am going to enter the Personal Finance Haiku contest at Make Your Nut.
Though traditionally it’s a 17-syllable poem of three lines 5-7-5 syllable count, in Japanese culture class, Kaneko-san told us that haiku is about “the moment”. It’s evoking a feeling in the reader.
