Re: Staying with products that work for me

I could say rather I am trying to stay with products that work for me. So many have been discontinued. Locally I can no longer find, the decaf tea I prefer, Nabisco zwieback, they don’t make it anymore. When Keebler bought out Sunshine cookies a few years ago. They no longer made Hydrox cookies. I ...

Re: Staying with products that work for me

YES.YES.YES. Especially in the last handful of years, I've really come to realize that trying to save a buck or two here and there, but getting stuff that just doesn't work well enough for me, or I don't love it, and won't use it up, is a big waste of money and time. And that's not frugal at all. An...

A box of note cards, and postage stamps. A box of 10 cars is about $12 at Hallmark. A half book of ten stamps is 6.80.

Re: Lipitor?

A sudden realization: I've nearly given up all cheese (which, for a part-French person...), and my cholesterol went UP. If I eat a bit more cheese... It's an experiment worth trying. :P Ahhh! Maybe!!

Dizziness, terrible muscle aches, worsening depression, and the prevastatin caused amazing gum bleeding. But it took me many months, eve...
