Just wanted to remind Toledoans that the Stuff-A-Bag Book Sale starts today and will continue until the 17th. The store officials will hand you a five dollar bag and you get to fill it with audio books, books and videos from specialty marked carts. So don't be late and get there soon - and if you see any books by Ted Bell please set it aside for me.

Have fun!!

I have won...

Well after a few days of trying to find the right distributor of Dogtags I have found just the right company that can produce the amount of tags we need with what we want them to say on them. Please visit them today and place your order. I currently have a few in mind for my crew. Also remember that if you in bulk (more then a few) you can save a lot on the cost of each tag made. Enjoy and remember to check with your friends and family as to what they want the tags to say.

Saving that buck for presents...

The one thing I love the most is the fact that I can save a lot of money buying the same products that most grocery stores have at a higher price. The video link below has an inside look on how you can save hundreds of dollars each month. The one thing that I know that we don't do is buy product that is ready to go, for example - precooked meats, sliced cheese sold in quarter pieces, prepared mashed potatoes etc. Well I am kind of guilty on that last one, I love to buy the mashed potatoes already mashed for me so that I can cut some time during prep work for dinner. With the cut down on foods that are ready to go you will easily find yourself saving lots at month's end. This post is up so that in case my brother happens to be checking me online he might see this and think twice about buying that easy meal that takes seconds to prep.

MRE...

I just watched a video that had a few people tasting several types of MREs, the weird thing about this is that some of the people trying it actually liked them. My older brother was in the military and he has some pretty convincing stories that the food served in the mess hall was a lot better then the ones that came in pouches for the soldiers. I have never tried food that came in pouches let alone food that came in a powder form. Actually I do remember having some eggs when I was younger and it came in a container and it was of a powdered nature.

Fallen Timbers...

No this is not a book title, the name on the title is that of a new complex that is being built in Maumee Ohio. I have yet to see it for myself but a friend of mine lives by there and he says that it is looking pretty nice. He has also mentioned that the new complex is built just across the street from one of the battle fields from the early wars. The image you see to the right is that of a monument that was erected in 1949. The outside mall will be a mirror image to the Levis Commons in Perrysburg Ohio. This complex is planned to open some time this year, it will probably open right around the late holidays - just in time for the rush of shoppers.

Gas prices can and will change your mood...

Driving home last night from the store I couldn't help but notice that the price of gas at the gas station closest to me was set at $3.29/gallon. No this was not the high octane type, this was for the lower grade that most people buy. I came across this site (GasBuddy.com) when watching the news and although some of the locations that they suggested to go to and fill up at a lower rate were more then just a few, none of them were close enough to me. I didn't see the point of driving an extra 6-7 miles just spend a little less at the pump, it would kind of defeat the purpose of saving money and gas.
