The Mirage in my paper is CHEAP-CHEAP-CHEAP
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.
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.
Scrubs! They're comfy and CHEAP. nm

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.

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

yeah, yeah - Was/still am a Sam Cooke fan...
have a series of his albums (Sam's) and my older sister was into Jackie Wilson (he died very young)......never will be anything like Motown was..........*nods*......
Yeah!
I'm so glad to hear she's improving. :-)
yeah
i tell ya it is the account, the others mt's complain about it too. i understand all the companies have their good and bad, but i have no idea who i should be looking at for rad work and who i should stay away from. there are always gonna be disgruntled exemployee. i would just like some unbiased opinions on who to look at and who to stay away from!
Oh yeah she was
She may not have had a choice in keeping that boy for awhile. This woman didn't even do a good job at acting like she was sad at her daughter's death. If Anna hated her mother at the time, she's perfectly entitled to. You don't have to love your mother just because shes your mother, just because its the right thing to do. Unfortunately they were not able to mend their differences and give forgiveness before her death. The moment was what it was, at the time she hated her so I believe her wishes should be respected.
Yeah!
I'm glad you did it. I hope things improve for the kids.
yeah, i just went to the doc sm
it was a new patient visit. i thought i'd try a different doc, but i like my old doc better. i didn't talk to him about being tired alot. i did talk about my leg. i have vericose veins in my left leg that give me problems. i'm only 35, but feel old! ha! my leg will swell a little, is warm to the touch and aches almost every day. you sound like you do really good! i wish i could get myself on a good schedule so i can at least walk every day. my 5 y/o will be starting kindergarten in the fall, both my kids will be gone all day so i hope to get on a better schedule than what i'm on now. my 5 y/o now goes to preschool three days a week and i take him and pick him up, takes time away from my work, so then i sit here and try to stay caught up on my work. my bp runs ok i guess. when i went to the doc on wednesday, it was 118/??? 80 something i think. what is considered low??
thanks for your input!
Oh yeah!
Yeah, but if she is saying
she forgot it at home, then it can't be true. She would remember eventually if it is sitting there at home. I don't know what I would do, guess it depends on your relationship with her. As for me and my sister-in-law, I would simply say don't lie to the poor child, just tell him you didn't have the money to buy him anything and you're sorry!
Yeah, tell me
about it! They are nasty! That's why I would actualy like to take my kids to a nice beach this year!
YEAH RIGHT!
You watch he will turn around and sue! I glad they refused service. He is so arogant!
Yeah, and they will tell you that they
will accept a settlement, and take a lesser amount as a payment in full, but what they don't tell you unless you pin them down on the phone is that they will put that on your credit report, that it was settled for less than the full payment.
Yeah me!
Miss Lily's mom here. I went to the vet today to go over Lily's lab work. We had her tested for every allergen known to man and she's allergic to mites off the chart basically. I also brought my brother's dog in since she has a lipoma the size of a softball that I want removed. Anyhoo, the vet was talking about how hard it is to find good help with the animal for the weekends and how hard it is to truly tell if someone will be good with the animals or not until they get in there. I told her I was looking for something besides transcription to do part time, so she gave me a job. :-) It's mostly cleaning but I'll get give the weekend animals their meds and treatments and do some filing and typing...all that fun stuff. I didn't even ask what she paid, as I'm sure it isn't much but it will be a nice change of pace. Plus I get free vet care. :-)
yeah....
it's called YMCA.
Oh yeah, here we go...
I can sure sympathize with you here. My mother is going through same thing. I have 5 siblings, there are(were) 4 girls 2 boys. My next to oldest sister was in an auto accident 12 years ago. She was one of those champagne on a beer budget and just thought she was better. She and the younger of 2 boys were like peas in a pod. Very close. She was in a vegetative state after the accident. My brother was in charge of her SSI money and such. He would bring my mother money every 2 years. Well at 5 years he just quit speaking to everyone, even his child. Have not seen or heard from him in 7 years. Why would you just quit speaking to your family? No one has done anything to him. He dated a friend of mine one time and told her he was from Canada and that he had a different father than us and that was adopted and not to ever let my baby sister know because she would be devastated. Well ???. He had/has this fixation with Canada. He is not from Canada. He even looks like my father so it is obvious. No reason for him to be ashamed. We are not well off but we are certainly not lacking and we are all hard workers. He has just disappeared. My mother tried to kill herself when she was pregnant with him because of other reasons, but blames herself for him being this way. She did not harm her pregnancy, just believes in things coming full circle. Well sister that was in accident passed away back in Nov. This brother does not know that we are aware of. Older sister has a pill addiction (I’ve told this story on here before, sorry.). At any rate she allowed my mother, who was taking care of her recently after some surgery, to see her messed up on some pills. Mother and I did a mini intervention back in April, have not heard from or seen sister since. Mother used to speak to her every day.
I just saw her today after going by to pick up something she had of my mothers. She asked how mom was doing, I said fine and probably better if you would call her and talk to her. Her response was…”ell the phone works both ways. She could call me.” I said, yes your right it does work both ways and you were in the way so you pick up the phone and apologize. Her response, “Well she’s the mother she should know better.” This girl is 50 years old, how childish and irresponsible is that. I feel she owes an apology and my mother said, which is true, what good is it if she does not mean it. She just does not want to see her end up a vegetable like my sister. So she feels now she has lost 3 children. My mother is 70y/o and does not need this stress.
You don’t either. You just have to reach a point that you must move on with your life. My mother dwells on this and how do you just walk away? Makes me so angry. Told sister that our little sister would be coming in from Michigan (darn near canada! HMMMM ..joking) in July and told her when and that we were planning to spread sister’s ashes then. “Well we’re going on vacation that week”. Well fine, I say let them go. If she can sleep at night and the drugs are more important than her family, I say so be it. I’ve been really freaking about trying to find my brother in the last few months. Was told that if I could find SSN I could check with SSD and they would tell me who paid taxes in last on him. For all we know he could be dead somewhere but how do you find someone who obviously does not want to be found! What are they thinking!
The way my mother feels is that people like that that don’t even care for their own flesh and blood cannot care for anyone, much less themselves. They did not mind asking for money and a place to live everything they needed it and she always gave to them.
Oh, yeah sm
That's the first place I feel it. Do whatever you can to reduce the stress and if that doesn't work, see your doctor.
Of course, I am good at giving advice, but I haven't seen a doctor about my stomach problems.
