  • Re: What really can you buy for $10?

    [quote user="BargainBistro"]Some folks play games online, some watch movies, some look at websites, some chat, some shop - whatever they do when they have time to have fun online... for me this is fun.[/quote] That's like me with online surveys--I actually take tests for fun. :-) (Well, I do get a few gift cards out of it.)

  • Re: What really can you buy for $10?

    [quote user="BargainBistro"]It would be really fun to tackle other people's ads but not something I could commit to. I don't know how folks like Coupon Mom, etc. do it!!![/quote] Well, I think Coupon Mom actually has a whole team of people, each tackling ads for a different part of the country. But she has been at this for a ...

  • Re: Plastic free living for a week...can you do it?

    [quote user="Loveday"]Haven't seen you posting on the forum lately, Haverwench (unless I've just been really unobservant, which is quite possible!), it's good to see you.[/quote] Yeah, I tend to go for a few weeks without posting and then catch up on all the forums on a day when I don't have any work to do (or when I ...

    Wait a minute, that first box is over $10. You'd have to lose one or two of the avocados.

  • Re: Sweater help

    I've darned cashmere sweaters before using ordinary thread. If it's in a place that won't show, I'd say it's worth giving it a try before giving up on the sweater.

  • Re: How to choose a watch?

    I think price is not the best guarantee of durability. Instead, I would look at the warranty. High-end brands sometimes have better warranties, but not always. I found a page that lists warranties for many well-known manufacturers. Timex and Casio, both low-end brands, both offer one-year warranties, though I have seen complaints that getting ...

  • Re: My daughter - MacGyver Jr!

    There's actually a name for this skill: bricolage. My dictionary defines it as "construction or creation from a diverse range of available things." My husband is an expert bricoleur. :-)

  • Re: Thinking of a garage sale

    I think teaming up with a friend (or multiple friends) is definitely the way to go. You can share the work and cost of advertisingonline, in the paper, and/or through signs and fliers around your neighborhood. (Make sure some of your signs are visible from the nearest main thoroughfare.) And during the day, you can take turns looking after the ...

    [quote user="BargainBistro"]I'm like a 12 boys at old navy, 14 little girls at old navy or XS juniors section/size 0 or 1 jeans depending on the brand and make. It's a real problem. My weight is LOW and my height does not match it. I am kid sized but not kid height, LOL I'm also 5ft8 so there are length issues.[/quote] Wow, I ...

  • Re: What does an 18 yearold child of a spendthrift need to know?

    [quote user="Loveday"]Is that book still available anywhere? My daughter is pretty smart moneywise, but my son not so much.[/quote] I think you can buy it directly from the publisher by clicking on the link in my post--but they want $18.21 for it. You could probably find a secondhand copy for less on Amazon.com or Alibris.com, but it ...
