I got paid to take food out of the supermarket (sort of).

Victor Frankenstein @VictorFrankenstein (310) • United Kingdom 21 May

Following a pretty unsatisfactory meeting at the Jobcentre this morning, I wasn't expecting much out of the rest of the day. But I did need to do my weekly big shop, so I toddled off down to Morrisons, which is my main...

A Short PSA? What Say You?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112403) • United States 17 May

Back in the day, and this was many years ago, there'd be two items on the shelf side by side. One made in Taiwan and the other made in the USA. The one made in Taiwan was 10 cents cheaper, and of course, this was a bit of a...

Is I Am or Is I Isn't?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112403) • United States 13 May

I say it all the time, but it really pays to know your prices so you can always get the best deal, and never have to needlessly part with your money. There's a reason so many people tell me, "I can't afford to save," and...

Scan, Slow Down, and Run!

Jim Bauer @porwest (112403) • United States 12 May

I am a literal hawk any time I am in a Ruler Foods or Aldi parking lot. Both of these stores require a quarter deposit to get a cart that you get back when you return it to its proper receptacle. I hold my quarters close, like I...

Might Be Time to Make a Move

Jim Bauer @porwest (112403) • United States 7 May

I think it's time to move some money from my high yield savings account. Just a year ago I was yielding around $5k a year in dividends. But that's been reduced to around $3k a year. I like to view it as a "safety cushion," but I...

The truth travels much slower than rumors. I just finished watching a very well done video on YouTube by a favorite content creator. It was about Micheal Jackson. It tells about the drug he had to use to become unconscious each...
