    Extreme couponing

    I feel like I save enough just by using my bonus card at Giant.. every once in a while I'll have a coupon for something we NEED and actually USE. I try to only shop at Giant b/c of the gas rewards also. I'll scan the Food Lion ad sometimes and if something is on sale BOGOF I'll stop in and get...

    Under Armor vs cuddl duds vs ?

    UA, without a doubt. You get what you pay for. I have stuff from Target and Old Navy, too. But I have to layer with those. Still freeze when running outside in December and Jan. Check out the UA outlet off Fort Smallwood Rd. up near Baltimore. Most stuff is 70% off the tag price. Also...

    Car Insurance

    We've been with Geico for 10 yrs. Not one single complaint. I had to use my emergency roadside assistance for the 1st time ever 2 weeks ago and it was a piece of cake, they handled it all. Tow to my mechanic was completely free of charge. Every 6 months my policy drops, even if it's just a...

    kids and teens with scoliosis

    There are 8 girls/women in my family with it, including myself. My cousin's was so severe, she had to have surgery and now has 2 rods in her back running parallel to her spine [x-ray looks like railroad tracks]. Another cousin had headaches from it. This was years ago and we are all grown now...

    Braxton Hicks

    :yeahthat: You are close to full term, I wouldn't ignore them for much longer. I was on Terbutaline for months while pregnant with my twins. Made a daily trip to L & D because my dr. would not allow me to have a Terb. pump. The shot stings like hell, but whatever worked to keep the babies...

    Smeco?

    I got the same notice. I suppose I need to look into the program and see for myself. My electric bills have been very reasonable lately - little over $200/month. My largest bill was January of 2010 when it was $794.00. We have electric baseboard heat BTW, but do have central AC.

    ________ Wife.

    Oh I definitely understand and can appreciate that. It was a big challenge when I first started working, but I make it work. And I feel like I contribute so much more to our family now. :yay:

    ________ Wife.

    :yeahthat: I was/am a SAHM for the past 8 years. I have a part time job but I only work during school hours. I don't NEED to work, but once the kids were in school, it was pointless [and boring, more importantly] for me to be home. I keep a very neat home as I am a little OCD :lol: but...

    Cove Point Pool

    My husband and I have taken our kids several times. We find that during the day it is too crowded to even move around the pool! We actually left one day at 3pm after only being there for an hour and came back around 5:30 and it was empty compared to earlier in the day. This was during the week...
