Ok, so I gave mint.com a try and I absolutely hate it. There are several instances where information I have updated has reverted back, and I just don't find it reliable. I miss Microsoft Money! What are my options for money management these days? I don't necessarily care if it's online or a...

ING dealt the last straw today. I woke up to an email from their "Investigations Team" that said: We have a few questions to ask you about some recent activity on your account(s). To clear this up, please give us a call at 1-866-464-7761. It was not branded ING Direct and looked like a scam...

I have to admit I wish we had an Aldi's here, I hear the stories on here of their prices and can only dream of what it must be like. I have even checked in the bigger cities around here and it is a store that just hasn't made it to our area yet. What do you find as a good alternative for...

My dd just turned 5 and I haven't been successful with nighttime potty training. She wears the Goodnights pull-ups. I saw on another thread that you could use maxi-pads for girls? Has anyone done this? Does it work? Do you use a maxi-pad (which brand?) with underwear? Are there significant...

I realize there is no "clone" to soda. And we don't drink it very often, but once a week or so, DH and I get a craving for soda. I'm just curious if anyone has found anything that does a good job at curing their cravings for soda! I'd love to hear ideas!

Paypal recently screwed me over. I cannot use them anymore. But I need a merchant account. There are many out there, most I don’t trust because I haven’t really heard of them. What can you guys vouch for?

I starting thinking today about maybe switching to reusable pads or The Keeper. Just thinking about how much waste would be saved is blowing my mind! Plus it would save me a ton of money. So anyone here use "resusables" or would anyone try it?
