The Mirage in my paper is CHEAP-CHEAP-CHEAP
I wouldn't be comfy without.
Need my feeling of security. Even under pajamas.
comfy clothes
For me it's cotton pajama pants and my oversized Big Dog T shirts and slippers. If I'm planning on going out and running errands or if I'm working at my itty bitty outside job that day then I dress in "real people" clothes, but if I have a long day of sitting and typing ahead of me, comfort is the key.
I live alone. I might be more inclined to pretty myself up if I had hubby coming home at the end of the day, but my cats don't care what I look like as long as the food bowl stays filled.
I'm not the guru of all things comfy, but...
A nice soft blanket, magazines of her favorite activity (or just trash mags for a good laugh), tea/cookies, warm slippers, nice lotion, your phone number to have her call you anytime she has a whim, and an IOU to take her out to do something fun when feeling better!
i wear those at home, they are so comfy
but I worry about the lines under my shirts when I go out in public. Maybe I just got the ones with too much material or something.
scrubs!!
how awesome is that show!
There are shows that I catch when I can that I wish I could watch religiously (but gotta work) and Scrubs is definitely one that I love every time I can catch it!!!
Also Everybody Loves Raymond and the Office are some too...
I really wanted to watch Big Love but I feel like i miss the first couple and im screwed you know? Same goes for Lost...
Scrubs
Man it seems like all I do is work and watch tv! Anyways, I go into that show Scrubs and I think this might be the last season so I want to watch every episode. The only problem is that my ABC news people are putting on somekind of special about tornados at the same time they are suppose to play this episode of Scrubs and that stinks because it is suppose to be an episode continued from last week..... Anyways, I was just wondering how they could do that? I mean I know many of us here, if not all, arent in the television business, but I was just wondering. With my 3 kids, 4 if you count my husband, work, laundry, and dishes it seems like I have so little things to enjoy and dammit it I dont like to plop my butt in front of the tv and laugh at something stupid for 30 minutes!
SCRUBS
Scrubs said goodbye with one last episode last night. I don't know if I liked it or not. I guess it was okay. I wonder how well the cast will do on their own? Now I have to find another show to fill the void.... any suggestions? I hate new tv.
If you liked Scrubs...
check out Arrested Development on Hulu.com. It was a quirky show, not exactly the same whay Scrubs was, but it was clever nonetheless.
I am a huge Scrubs fan .. did you know . . .
if you go to Hulu.com, you can watch all the episodes of Scrubs and many, many other shows? For free!! That's how I get caught up on a lot of my shows, like Brothers and Sisters!!
What's your work uniform - pj's, sweats, scrubs, or
s
I take a shower before I start work and put on makeup but just wear comfy clothes...
I don't get dressed up or anything...maybe taking a shower before you start working would make you feel better...I can't work if I feel dirty--lol
Also blessed w/a great hubs, partner, and father to the kids. Fixes our cars, scrubs the carpets,

Ha, I'm cheap too
That's why I said I really can't afford to buy anything!
No, you are not cheap.
I personally find those tip jars tacky. When I worked in the food industry, we were strictly forbidden to accept tips at the counter and if the customers insisted, we were supposed to turn it in to the manager, although the managers were usually cool and let us keep it.
Not cheap I guess, but
being into gardening I was wondering if they would like to fill containers with a little container garden of coleus varieties or other small, less expensive annuals. They could keep them or give them to their moms for Mother's Day. Just a thought. Maybe they could paint the outsides of the pots.
cheap eats
There are plenty of cheap eats in the city once you learn your way around. For example, the fruit in Chinatown is fantastic, and a whole lot cheaper than what I pay in my town. But my very, very, very favorite is a Middle Eastern pushcart on 6th and 56th(?) outside the Hilton. They sell a chicken and rice dish for $4 that is amazing. It is a huge amount of food,and I usually split with my daughter. Throw a couple of drinks in and we have spent $6 for a yummy lunch for two.
It is not unsanitary like you might think. They have been there for years and are extremely popular. Last time we went to NYC, we stayed in Brooklyn and made a special trip to the pushcart. They are there during the week for lunch only.
yeah ours did too but they are the cheap
they don't last long.
cheap beauty
Benzoyl peroxide at night (zit cream) Aveeno 70 SPF face sunscreen during the day. The sunscreen has some type of silicone in it with lots of vitamins and some zinc for a shimmering effect. The benzyol peroxide cream sloughs off the dead skin cells, but it stains bed sheets and clothes, so get out your white pillow cases. The sunscreen is about $10 for a large tube.
is this *selective remembering* or is she CHEAP?
Salonpas is cheap - cheaper still at Sam's
I think you can buy a huge box for under $10. They are good on sprained wrists, too, my daughter gets those after doing carpentry around the house (talented girl) and we put them on and they work great. I use the slightly larger ones on my chronic low back pain and while they don't last for hours, they give pretty good relief of moderate to low pain and last about an hour. And they really are inexpensive. I learned about them in a Chronic Pain Class I was taking at my HMO, thought what can I lose, and found they work well for me.

cheap and easy meals?
What are your favorite quick and cheap family meals? I have to bring my grocery budget down. I need some ideas for meals that can be made for about $10. My family is getting tired of spaghetti, chili, pork barbecue sandwiches and sloppy joes. What do YOU whip together on the cheap? I'm all ears.
casserole - easy and cheap
Chicken casserole
3-4 boneless chicken breasts
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 C shredded swiss cheese or mozzarella
1 1/2 C stuffing (Stove Top in can)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 can of white wine or chicken broth
1 stick butter
Cut up boneless chicken in bites. layer in 9 x 13 pan. top with sliced mushrooms, then shredded swiss cheese. mix together soup and wine/broth and pour over top.
sprinkle stuffing over everything. pour melted butter over and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes
whoa!! That was a cheap shot LOL, but I'd rather have a

Cheap squirrel deterrent
To keep squirrels from climbing up the pole to get to your feeder, you can attach a simple slinky to the bottom of the feeder, encircling the pole. The squirrel jumps up, grabs the slinky, and gets lowered to the ground. They can't figure it out. Supposedly it works and keeps on working for years! Fun to watch, too. It would also disturb the birds less than a feeder that spins to detach squirrels, LOL.
wrapping cookies cheap.
Are they being mailed?? If so, wrap them in plastic wrap and then foil and put them in Pringle's Potato Chip tins. This works great for care packages going to Iraq.
It's still pretty cheap compared to other sm
countries! Look at the price of diesel and fuel - that impacts the USPS as much as it does all of us.
It's only a penny.
now's the time to invest -- buy cheap
and ride it out. Why are you asking, did you win a big one?
Can You Wear Cheap Clothes?
and they look good on you?
I was just thinking about my deceased mother and she sometimes would say about someone "I wish I could wear cheap clothes like her!"
Ironically - one of the best fitting/looking blazers my mom ever bought was from Walmat and was on a clearance rack for $7.99. (orig price wasn't all that much higher)
It sounds like a catty insult/put down, but my sister says it too about her friend, and it's not said with any kind of malice - she just wishes she could buy cheaper clothing that fits well and looks good too and save the money.
I hope I can wear some cheap because
just bought 2 tops at Kohls this morning on sale, about $8 each. Everything was on sale, 50, 60 and 70% off. I love Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, they fit so good but they have changed the texture of the pants and this morning I looked but bought another brand with the kind of material I love, spandex and real light weight material, capris for later in summer. Bought a pair of sunglasses and lost already.
A cheap place on a golf course, that is a surprise - sm
Personally since there is 8 of you expense is not really an issue if you are dividing the cost up between everyone. I'd go for comfort if expense is not an issue. The guys can drive to a golf course if they want to play. Another thing to do is either make a list of pros and cons OR call everyone involved and get them to vote; that way you can say you did a vote and X one; so if they complain they hate it they won't have you to blame, someone has always got to complain about something it seems. Have fun whichever way you decide.
HAHA! See, would never work with us. We are both cheap leaders sm
I don't like him telling me what to do and he hates taking instruction from me, so we sit here in a 25 year old home with nothing getting done because we're too cheap to hire and too stubborn to work together!!!!
Good, cheap spell checkers? (sm)
Does anyone know a good medical spellchecker that is fairly cheap? My c drive crashed today - just got it fixed - and I cannot find my Stedman's CD anywhere. I need to work tomorrow so I want to get something on here quick. There are lots of others out there but I don't know anything about them. I had downloaded one at one point that would automatically correct my words when my spelling was very close. Would love to find that one again but don't remember what it was.
tell hubby there are lots of cheap motels
Florida poster here.....lots of cheap Kissimmee hotels/motels - sleeps 4-6....$39-$49/nightly or cheaper if you do like 3 to 4 days....
Calling coworker/buddy you haven't seen in a decade just to ask if one can stay there w/family is NOT a good idea......
olds saying - guests, like garbage, get old in 3 days........tell your husband to FORK OVER THE $$....he can afford Disney Parks? He can afford a $50/night room for his FAMILY....HIS family.....
Just my *take*......no flames please
I get my professional strength ones on ebay for really cheap
They are less than $5 and are the same exact stuff they use in the dentist office. I have been using them for years and everyone tells me that I have the nicest teeth.
to be cheap - I buy ready made blankets
big lots, target, saw them somewhere in an add for 2.50 in yesterday's paper - that does limit your size but I'm making them for no reason - it is very therapeutic for me - just really got into tying those knots - made them for my daughters at Christmas (adults) and now I am thinking it would be good to keep one in cars too, for trips and in case you got stuck and it was cold because they are warm!
Walmart has their own Oil of Olay stuff cheap.

An eyelash curler is quite cheap and works well. SM
There are may mascaras out there that will thicken up lashes.
Try both these before shelling out that kind of money.
We'll use the word inexpensive instead of cheap. LOL
It is hard to find anymore. The industry takes averages from what I read and if you are not average you're just in bad shape. No pun.
I have decided to learn to sew as time allows. I made 2 shirts last year and they fit better and are more comfortable than anything I have bought.
Fried rice is another good, cheap meal (sm)
I use a rice cooker a lot since I can cook w/o babysitting it. Make extra rice and put it in a ziplock bag and refrigerate. Next day you can take the leftover rice and bits of meat and veggies left over from other meals and an egg or two, and make fried rice. If you're new at it, there are some inexpensive fried rice spice mix packets that give you the flavor with some instructions. But once you've done it a few times, you can wing it with some asian spices and just use up the leftovers you have.
bookingbuddy.com showing cheap Vegas flights
Try www.bookingbuddy.com I just got an email from them a few days ago, and Vegas was one of the cities they were highlighting as having fares on sale right now.
right; effective, quick, cheap method; have always believed this; always will

Need a new printer for Vista OS...Any suggestions for a good cheap one?? sm
I need a new printer compatible with Windows Vista OS. I would like an All In One, but at this point, I am not picky...I just need to print! Thanks in advance for all suggestions!
Need cheap food idea for 50th Bday sm
I will have about 30 people to feed. I want to have food but looking for budget ideas. Thanks. I am surprising my husband for his 50th. I live in a cold climate. Thanks!
if one has good feet, one can wear cheap shoes.
Shoes do not necessarily have to be espensive to be good. There are also expensive shoes that are not so good.
People with unhealthy feet need expensive shoes.
I have a lot of shoes (over 100) average price $ 40.--, and I have very healthy feet.
I take very good care of my feet and my shoes, some are 20 years old, inspite being medium priced.
I could not wear the same shoes, yearin, yearout, resoled, repaired, etc...boring!
Sorry!
But, most of the time, I run around barefoot, that's the best shoe!
Thanks everyone, the thousand dollar post before made me feel CHEAP!
I will go with the gas card and some cash, good ideas. I think I got 10 bucks and told I had to start to pay more "board". Times are changing. I don't remember last time we gabbed about this subject but the gifts were way up there for high school. These sound more like what I can afford.
yes, go online and type in 'easy, cheap lunches and dinners...nm

Try Benadryl, the generic is cheap. Works great, not habit-forming. NM

You're not 'low-class', you're FUNNY, & a good writer!
Which is often the case then someone is the first to cast stones!
You're surprised? I'm not. They're not going to stop voting....
as was mentioned in a prior post. Imagine if they succeed? They just may.
At least you wait until they're cooked! LOL...we're raw dough
