    Romney Picks Paul Ryan As Vice Presidential Running Mate

    Wiki says that his father, grandfather AND great-grandfather all died in their 50's of heart attacks. Not gonna be too sympathetic to those 65 and older - no experience!

    52% of Dads are Primary Grocery Shopper

    52% of the men are primary grocery shoppers only if the grocery budget consists of beer and chips. I spend a lot of time at Jewel and that's primarily what I see them buy. Of course, they could all be hitting up the 24 hour stores at 2 am, but otherwise? I'd demand my marketing cash back...

    For those that remember this crazy b

    Maybe the sandwich filling is green and moldy.

    Still saving money during deal drought?

    Take the whole family to the new Pete's Market on Roosevelt in Oakbrook Terrace - you would not believe how much sampling you are forced to do. Seriously, they gave me half a container of shrimp ****tail and the same of their shrimp/crab cerviche! Apologized for not having spoons handy...

    Anybody date someone much younger than them?

    You people seriously think a few months to ten years is something? puhleez! My husband is 16.5 years younger than me and I tell him repeatedly that he's lucky I took him! Men don't hold up so well nowadays...

    Does anyone have a MAC?

    I started with a Apple 2+ back in the dark ages with a master and slave drive (!) and continued buying them because my husband is a PC tech - no worries he'd be "fixing" things. I currently use an iMac with a 27" monitor and it rocks; will be adding a laptop to my family in a few months.

    Help using up milk

    You can freeze it and then cook/bake with it and drink it - I've done this for years and no one has yet complained about the taste. and believe me, these hothouse flowers complain about everything!

    Seriously? Cinnamon?

    I ran out of cinnamon this weekend and stopped at the grocery store; obviously they're not buying their cinnamon at Jewel...

    The extreme couponing backlash...

    You can never focus on what you've missed by not getting into the game earlier - there are always people who claim there were quadruple couponing, unlimited prints and friendly coupon-friendly customer service people at Dominicks...I call them liars. You started and learned and you are now way...

    Piggerz Update...

    Congratulations! It's a hard thing to go back to school; brain doesn't want to do college-type thinking, so getting grades like those makes it even more special.

    Shhh....don't tell Jill Cataldo we sell coupons here....

    Well, as I always tell my family, expired OR has the most flavor! I'm trying to convince them that OR changed their formulas...

    Chicago Tribune Codes

    One nice thing about the Groupon deal was when it expired, my two papers continued that rate for another year (there was even a two-year option, but I don't trust the Trib that far).

    Chicago Tribune Codes

    I went to RetailmeNot and the best I could see was .50 a week for Sunday. Personally, that's the highest price I pay if I'm feeling generous, but sure beats wasting time calling their customer service center!

    How expired do you think is food good for?

    It's ALL good until the next deal - at least that's what I tell my family. Don't like it, move out.
