Thought this was unique Works-For-Me Wednesday. Another interesting idea from a fellow blogger.

"WFMW is a "blog carnival" (that concept is explained here). Basically, the idea is that on Wednesday you post a little tip you've learned on any (G-rated) topic--anything that has "worked for you" in making your life easier..." Here is the link to the archive for further exploration.

Rocks in My Dryer is a blog geared toward parenting but I found it interesting.

Some Food for Thought

This past week I was perusing through The Simple Dollar. An excellent blog to say the least; I really like his article archive.

Articles that I found interesting:

• Using SuperCook to Save on Your Grocery Bill--"Basically, SuperCook is a database of recipes that works in a very clever fashion - just start entering ingredients in the upper left and it will start listing recipes on the right. Every time you add another ingredient, it finds recipes using only those ingredients and only a minimum of additional items."
• Some Notes on SmartyPig--intriguing :))
• How to Get Personal and Professional Value from Idle Web Surfing--I can relate to this very well. I love just surfing the web to see what I can find.
• Battling The Convenience and Costs of Fast Food--I really like the suggestions here I'm going to try the breakfast burrito idea tonight, the burritos sometime this week, and the chicken nuggets also (my meat order comes in on Thursday). As much cooking as I do, I never thought of trying this.
• Baking Soda: My Favorite Frugal Substance--not quite sure why I saved this article, but has some good pointers about baking soda
• Living on Half Your Monthly Income: Could You Do It?--an excellent question, one that we all should answer

Gethuman.com

Found this web-site while surfing through TBH's blog. Thought it might be helpful to have on hand.

"When you're tired of wasting money and time due to phone systems that require you to press 10 or more options in order to reach a real person and spending many minutes or even hours on hold, consult the GetHuman database of secret phone numbers and codes that immediately get an actual, live person on the line for customer service at nearly 1000 major companies."

Sounds good to me :))
