		<title>Making Impressions at the Grocery Store</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 Does your grocery store require the checker to circle and tell you the amount you saved each shopping trip?  The store where we do most our food shopping does and when the checker said &#8220;you saved over $96 today&#8221; the lady behind us gasped.  She was audibly surprised we could save nearly an equal amount to [...]

Organic food shopping can get expensive.  If you haven’t checked the prices of grass-fed organic beef, free-range chicken, or organic broccoli, you would be surprised when you realize that gone are the days when food shopping used to be a small fraction of your monthly budget.  However, it is important to realize [...]

		<title>February Wrap-Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

February is a funny month because it&#8217;s so short. Mr. Boomer said he liked that his hourly wage that month was the highest of year (salaried employee).  That&#8217;s not what appeals to me.  It&#8217;s knowing that Spring is just around the corner  that I like.  Okay, Valentines Day is kind of fun too.
I have a [...]

		<title>Week in Review: Chile Edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

A little over a week ago Chile endured the fifth worst earthquake in the world since 1900. Yet, the reaction is very different than from the Haiti earthquake in January.  Why?

		<title>It&#8217;s Time to Buy Lottery Tickets: Winning the Census Jackpot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Mr. Boomer always gives me the mail that isn&#8217;t personally addressed to him (which means I get 90% of it).  When we got an envelope from the U.S. Census Bureau last week I thought it was THE census form every American household will receive this Spring.
Nope, my address was randomly selected to receive the American [...]

		<title>Could you Eat on One Dollar a Day?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
A local couple made national headlines in 2008 with their blog account of spending no more than $1 per day on food each.  They were interested in cutting their food budget and challenged by the small amount millions of people in the world have to live on. 
I found them when the local news featured them due to [...]
