Discount for paying cash

snowy @snowy22315 (197782) • United States 21 Oct

I paid the body shop in cash which was probably 5-10 percent cheaper than using a card. So, I saved a bundle on that, as well as it was less for furnishing the headlamp, which was much less expensive than the one he recommended....

Manuela Lopes All stores pay a fee everytime we pay with a card maybe that is why you got the discount.

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (86640) • United States 21 Oct

Happy Tuesday Everyone! it's a bright sunny day here today with pretty decent temperatures. My heat was on overnight but it's going to be warm enough that it probably won't come on during the day. Today is a fun day for me...

An unexpected, BIG perk-up!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (49919) 21 Oct

If you know me, you know I love my coffee. I have loved it for most of my life--since I was a young girl. To me, dark roast is the best. Not a cream and sugar girl, just the plain good coffee. Brands don't usually matter a lot,...

The reason for long-handled pots years ago

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364734) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Oct

While in the Westonia Museum, I saw some saucepans with very long handles like the one in the left-hand image. I was wondering why the handles were so long but after seeing the open cooking range at Mangowine Homestead, I...

Songs to Dance To: Potential New Boyfriend

Four Walls @FourWalls (79639) • United States 14 Oct

Wow, this is weird…a song by a country music legend that I do not have to warn the people allergic to country music to avoid! It’s not a hoedown dance, it’s an indication of why they put her in the Rock and...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364734) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Oct

Some time back I wrote about a farm called Cleomine. It was named after the owner’s racehorse which was unbeaten in the years 1923/24/25. At the entrance to the farm is a windmill which, when it turns, activates the legs of a...

If you get a Christmas card from me this year….

Amber @AmbiePam (104703) • United States 14 Oct

A few of you may remember last Christmas someone from the post office stole my Christmas cards (the post office admitted this when 3 months later they brought them to my front door all opened with just one envelope). Why? Well, if...

Are you seeing insane meat prices where you are?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (49919) 27 Sep

Most people I know here in the US are saying that they are. Once upon a time, a chuck roast (here in the US we often call it pot roast) was a very affordable dinner. A person could afford a fairly large chunk for a reasonable...

I have not been here lately as my son fetched me for a 10-day break in his home. I miss my two grand babies. I don't babysit now but I am just too lazy to visit here. It seems I just wanted to lie down and relax for the rest of my...

Do you like weekends or do they get on your nerves?

snowy @snowy22315 (197782) • United States 12 Oct

Weekends are fantastic when you work a regular job. You really need the break, and it feels awesome when you have one. However, when you are (retired) it is not that interesting to have a weekend. Nothing is really happening,...

How far do you think you could walk?

snowy @snowy22315 (197782) • United States 11 Oct
