In September ds was involved in an accident at church and had to go by ambulance to the children's hospital ER. Our city pays for ambulance rides and we have good insurance. Our out of pocket for the entire thing was about $30. I have gotten 2 notices now from the church's insurance company...

So I went to the produce auction today. I am canning tomatoes as I type this. I have 15 pecks of romas to take care of. I couldn't resist buying 2 pecks of heirloom yellow tomatoes as well - they were only $3.50 a peck and they are just so pretty. What would you do with them? I am not sure...

We live in a low rise apartment building. It is in a nice neighbourhood, near shopping centres, parks and schools. And the price we pay for rent can't be beat in this area...or anywhere else in the city for that matter. The only problem is our landlord. He is cheap. There are many issues in...

My oldest needs braces, with my other 3 quickly following. We visited 4 orthodontists before settling on one and he is set to get them on next week. The total will be around $5300. They require 25% down and then we would have 18 monthly payments of $220 at 0% interest. We had thought this...

Ok, I so rarely find myself unable to make a decision, but I need input from like minded folks. My hope (yes, just a hope at this point) is to buy my own place this summer when my lease comes up. I miss having my own place, growing my own food and just generally not having people above me...

My MIL lost her job not long before the economy whet downhill. She lives with her SO and he is a tightwad. So, I talked to DH about paying family to keep the dc instead of non-family. My oldest was starting to have problems at the DC they were going to anyway and it was a good time for a...

I've used coupons for a while, but never consistently and never as a goal. So I emailed a couple of my favorite brands and they sent me coupons I can't find online or in flyers (:cheer4:). So my question is, if it is an item you buy all the time do you pair a sale with the coupon - or do...

I work in a nursing home. We have a supervisor who is very verbally abusive to us. She is a nurse. She has told several of the nurses and aids to "shut up". She has a nasty disposition. Even if I have to tell her a resident needs something I sometimes get nervous to approach her. Very...

About a year-and-a-half ago we started hearing rumors that the state DOT was going to be redoing the highway that runs near our neighborhood. DH and I kind of bushed it off to wait for more info. Well, this Spring they have had town meetings and it looks like the project is going forward, only...

I live in an apartment/condo complex, and, like everyone else, we're facing some economic hardships. I for one cannot afford for my common charges to go up- I live very simply as it is but I really don't have anything to spare. My car is about to die it's final death, and I may or may not have a...
