My granddaughter Caitlyn went to her first prom a week ago and she looked beautiful! She found her dress at Goodwill for $15.00, and she was really happy about it!

I ask myself before any purchase -- is this going to make my life better or not. Usually, the answer is "not". The item in question is perhaps desirable upon seeing it, but then I will need to put it together, fix it when it breaks, clean it, move it, insure it, protect it, find a place to store it....any number of things, all of which cost me something more than money...TIME. Choose your purchases wisely.

Hi I am a salon owner and work 8 to 10 hours a day. we have our own coolier at our shop which I refill my water bottles at night and freeze them then I bring them with me to work and have ice cold water all day, I also bring baggys of small light snack so i dont leave for lunch which saves on gas and a meal and time because i schedule 1 or 2 appointment while everyone else is out eating . I snack on cheerios and oyster crackers. I sometimes make me a peanut and jelly sandwich on wheat bread. I bring a small baggie of wheat or rye crackers and prezels alot. all my custmors snack on my pretzel which makes soda sells high at the shop which I own. THese are just small things that save me alot in a weeks time.
