You can go ahead and buy all the Girl Scout cookies you want.
Or coffee mugs branded with your favorite NPR station. (Let’s face it, you are shopping for pledge gift items. Don’t lie to yourself.)
Or used home appliances from a Habitat for Humanity Re-Store.

I found Pantene conditioner on sale this weekend at Safeway in DC. Pantene is rebranding its bottles and the supermarket was getting rid of all the old packaged stuff at a really low price. I love it! I got my favorite brand-name conditioner for about $3 a bottle. I resisted buying a ton of it [...]

I poached the snapper for dinner on Saturday night. It was not the best preparation [...]

I love this article. Onto my snarky two cents.
Steam Shower – Someone at work wants one. Back in the 1980’s all the rage amongst my parents’ Korean friends were sauna cabinets at home. Everyone got one but us, and my parents are happy they kept their powder room. You just won’t use it like you [...]

The car is successfully inspected now, but boy, the new driver’s license crap is annoying. My mom is overnighting my birth certificate to me so I can get it done.
Saturday was still a bit rainy and we had a hockey game that night. Boyfriend bought us dinner at DC cafe after Game 5 of Round [...]

While I was in California over the holidays I was window shopping with an old friend because we met at the local mall for coffee and chit chatted while wandering around.
I saw a salt pig at Williams-Sonoma. The link isn’t the one I actually saw. I saw one that was almost $40 and shaped like [...]
