Consumer goods juggernaut, Wal-Mart, offers its consumers the chance to bring in ads and essentially use them as coupons at the register. If you look at the label on off brand products, you’ll discover that they are usually made from the same materials, using the same processes–they just come in a less pretty box. Homemade Goodness.

I just read that DoorDash was going to rate the people that use their app by how well they tip. I don’t use DoorDash, but I find this problematic.

Keep in mind that a home warranty will be an extra expense each month, but it may be well worth it for peace of mind. When you do, consider using the debt snowball strategy , in which you start paying off your debts starting with the smallest accounts first. The higher your credit score, the lower your payment or interest rate.

I used to be a huge trash TV junkie. There are a few of my favorites that I still catch here and there, but it’s not nearly as big of a habit as it used to be. Read Blogs. This is where I must differentiate between a blog and an online journal. Along with the mindless TV, I would read tabloid magazines.
