I was spending over $75 a week for three meals and one snack a day and that was over five years ago (not sure how it is now). If you are single, not too bad. If you have to also feed a spouse/family and buy regular food as well it is rough. It works though ;)

Jenny Craig cost of food
I tried a good 10 years ago and it cost me about $300 a month. I wasn't too impressed with the program. I stayed on it for 2 months and only lost 7 pounds. Finally quit and just really increased my workouts and then the weight really came off. I now keep my weight down and have taken off additional weight with working out 5 times a week as well as sticking to low-cal/low-fat prepacked meal packages like Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice. Much more economical and get great results with them. 
Food stamps, WIC, food banks, churches, family...
There are many answers to that problem.
No one has the right to steal and writing a dishonorable check is stealing. It is called "theft of property".
My tax dollars support government programs to prevent people from going hungry and to provide for women, infants, and children. I make donations to food banks and churches, etc., for those who just need help as well.
Food for the staff and doctors, if you can afford it. Food is always a big hit in a doctor's off
One of the biggest perks I can remember when I worked in a doctor's office was when the drug reps or orthopedic equipment reps would cater lunch for the whole office just so they could meet with the docs. The whole office would get so jazzed at the idea of free lunch.
If you can't afford to cater lunch, then I would do something like a muffin basket and bagels always go over well. But food is your best bet.
Really???? I miss 'burgh food. Philly food is okay, but it

The food is resturant quality food and very good

cost??
Why is Andrews so much higher than Career Step? Do you think it's worth it in the end?
cost?
You will not be disappointed with Career Step. It is affordable, thorough and helpful.
TAT cost
A few years back, we got a mass email out of my office about just how much the out of TAT issue had cost over a particular week...somewhere in the ballpark of over 30 grand for just the top 3 major accounts.
Yes, we've been told that the company has to pay hefty fines to the accounts for not being within TAT. Not sure how it is today, but I can't assume much has changed.
CMT cost?
how much does it cost to take the test to be CMT?
It DOES cost a lot more to be IC - SM
On top of the self-employment tax, etc., you don't get the benefit of your company paying 1/2 of your social security so that is where most of your money at tax time goes to. If you are an employee, they match what you pay into social security so it's not as much. I went through the same thing and decided it was not worth my time to work any extra as an IC. I saw the difference in the taxes I paid. Good luck to you.
You can, but it's going to cost you. sm
Several references on Google that will cost you between $40 and $80 for a search, but it would have to be worth what you're looking for before coming up with that kind of money and I really thing that these sites will not give you adequate information.
Check with your post office. They may not be able to give you information, but if you or someone you know is getting unwanted mail from a P.O. box address, they can stop it for you.

Don't know if you ever got an answer for that. I purchased a model 0421 a couple month ago. While this is an older model, it works just as well as long as you get an honest seller. They are expensive and you tend to go out on a limb when trusting that they one you are buying actually works. I paid $145 for mine. Total w/S&H was 170, which was an excellent deal. Either deal through ebay or this site. You can find them in the 150-175 range. Read instructions on ebay closely some say not tested. I actually emailed a seller and gave him him a number of how to test the machines and he was tickled to death. He had no clue what the machine was for. I would say buy a used one before spending the money on a new one. There are a lot of these floating around for sale that have just been collecting dust because people are downloading off the internet. Nothing wrong with the machine, these people just have no use for the machines right now.
You say it does not cost you anything? How about your
time? That is worth something, isn't it? Time is money in my book that I could be working instead.
Dog food
Try switching to a better dog food, such as Nutro. Also at her age she deserves all the best in life and I would even consider giving her a meal once a day of chicken and rice or beef and rice, very inexpensive also. The table scrap thing, although stated by the vets all these years, is a bunch of bunk in my opinion. Dogs like a varied diet just as humans. Just so long as it is whole natural foods, not processed. You would love you to death to give her this small pleasure at her age. Good luck.
I think it has less to do with food....
and more to do with activity. I'm 45 and remember eating Ring Dings and chips and all kinds of junk food back when I was a kid. Granted we hardly ever had fast food, but moms back then didn't exactly cook according to Weight Watchers.. We had spaghetti, meatloaf, fried chicken, all that good stuff. However, what did we do in our spare time back then? WE PLAYED OUSIDE! We didn't have organized activities or play dates, we just went outside and played, all day long if we could. I remember being dragged in at dusk because I didn't want to stop playing, riding bikes, skating, etc. What are kids doing today? Sitting on their rears watching movies and playing X-Box. Maybe that has more to do with childhood obesity than diet. Food for thought anyhow.
food?
AMEN to the mexican food and margarita!
food
Baked beans - 1/2 cup is considered a serving and for the hash browns, 4 ounces would be considered a serving. You can add or substract from this to make it come out. Better to have a little bit left over than not enough at all. Good luck
I do like his food. nm

And what about pierogies?..lol..yes, Primanti Brothers makes a pretty tasty sandwhich. :)

..I meant for this post to go under the pittsburgh post..thanks.
food
I totally agree. Also, I just got an awesome recipe that is a dip for fruit. I would get a fruit tray and make this dip. I took it over for a July 4th cookout and it was a hit. It's best with strawberries. Anyway, the dip is one 8oz package of cream cheese, one 7oz jar of marshmallow cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. You can even add food color to it if you want to.
Food lol
I have some doctor friends/clients and once in a while I book a traveling coffee place for them. Then they can get coffee, hot chocolate and muffins or something that they can pick out.
More food
I think it's a lot like illegal immigrants taking away our work, but this way they didn't have the moving expense of immigrating!
It doesn't cost $800 either
Can't imagine a chair more comfortable that it.. i'm sure the Aeron is built much better, though. I noticed it does have a 12-year guarantee.
Sorry! Forgot the cost! They can run anywhere
from $10 to $50 range - definitely under $20 last I saw, which was only a few months ago.
the problem with that is the cost
Before deciding to get a BA in psych, I looked at many different quick fix schools. I was interested in cooking, the cheapest school is 15,000 up front, nine month course. Was also interested in aesthetics, 6000 bucks! If they would offer pay as you go for these schools so you could pay cash, that would be more feasible. Collins college, DeVry, all in the thousands. I pay about 500+ per semester...sure it will take me years BUT I think a BA degree opens many doors. The person who says it doesn't is crazy!
Cost of going digital
I am trying to decide if it's worth it to get a local office to go digital. They don't even have a website, so technology is not their thing. I assume that because of this I would still have to print/drop off reports? Is that right? This is a very small office, so I don't want to spend a lot of money to try to do this. When I try to do an internet search, there is way too much information that is way too complicated. I just want to know what I would need for the most basic setup. Anything advice/help you can offer would be helpful. Thanks! LL
we went last May, cost us a fortune!
Our expenses were for 2 adults....
We actually did one of those timeshare tours so we could get 3 nights free at our hotel. So we paid for 4 nights = $400, there was supposed to be a shuttle going to/from the parks but that didnt work out so we had to rent a car (dont remember how much that was), Disney tickets for a 4-day park hopper pass was nearly $500, Universal 2-day tickets were about $200, cab from the airport was about $80, food was very expensive - about $100 day.
We flew JetBlue & i thought they were wonderful & reasonably priced. I want to say our flight was a total of about $400-500.
All-in-all, I'd say about $2500 for the whole trip including gift shopping & food.
total cost
Total cost of $60 for two phone lines, which includes taxes, etc. It also includes call waiting and voice mail. But my C-phone line has nothing on it, no call waiting, etc. by my choice. First month on my residential phone is free because they are just starting up in my area.
Had you complained that you did not okay all this, they probably would have taken off the cost
:+
I would do the printing and eat the ink cost - sm
write it off of course. If you can, use a separate ink cartridge just for their stuff and keep track of how fast you go through the ink. If it is excessive, then brink it up possibly and maybe you could bill them a printing charge every time you have to buy a new ink cartridge. But I'd probably just eat it regardless, it is not going to hurt your bottom line much and it helps them out (they save time obviously); the little extras help and you could get more work out of it, who knows.
Is the cost less if you are in India. Why do I think it probably is?
:+
Pay their own operating cost sm
This is not for the MT to pay for heaven sakes, this is the MTSO operating expenses, (the cost to do business, it is THEIR CLIENT) It is all a bunch of bull and the MTs are thinking, well--ll okay-yyyy I guess.
Cost and other things
It is a little costly, but don't forget, you are buying food anyhow. It might be a little more, but you won't be buying your Twinkies, etc. ;-)
I did NS after my first baby about 100 years ago and did lose the weight and managed to keep it off until I went to work at home. I don't know how the program has changed since then.
After gaining a whole bunch when I went home to work, I tried WW and lost nearly 80 pounds and pretty much maintained it, up and down 10.
I like WW because they painlessly teach you how to eat right. It's a reprogramming of sorts and it really works.
Whatever you choose, good luck!!
Medispell cost me $39.
Also did not include most drugs.
cost of transcription
I am hoping that someone can help me. I am wanting to go into business for myself. I actually have the physicians lined up, but I am having a problem with cost. It seems to be a big secret on how much MT companies charge the physicians. Is there a ballpark figure? Do they charge by the line or how do they charge? And how much? Any help or information I get can would be helpful. Thanks.
DocShuttle. Does it really cost $269 to get it?
Or am I looking at the wrong thing? I'd love to apply for a position that needs this but cannot afford that big a bite in my finances. Any help is appreciated!
Buy by hub by Targus - cost about $80 from a
computer store. This is not an adapter. It has various kinds of ports. I hooked my pedal to it and it worked fine - play, forward and reverse.
4 cpl goes further when cost of living is less. nm
Ditto here...the cost of some her..
favorite things could feed some people for a month! She has no regard for the poor in her own country. You would think with her humble beginnings she would remember a thing or two...guess money can buy a selective memory! I agree, she is a snoot!
A very low cost option without having to
spend a lot of money on hand held units is EZ-Voice. We offer a toll free call in solution for 9 cents per minute REGARDLESS of how many or how few minutes you need per month. We also offer FTP server space. Click on the link below to learn more...
Thanks. I found out that it will cost about $300..sm
to cancel my service early with Direct,or about $320 to upgrade to an HD DVR receiver with Direct. So either way Direct is going to get about $300! Now I just have to decide whether to stay or go with Dish. Hope the HD (limited as it is) is worth it! Thanks for taking the time to help!
Why would it cost $140? inc. labor?
you can do it yourself, it's easy. I doubled mine for about $60, but I think I got another 512 MB or so, then got I think a $20 rebate. I noticed the speed. It's easier to keep multiple programs running and loaded and properly functioning at one time. Multitasking is easier. My work computer is 256, tell me that doesn't suck! I spend half my day waiting, it seems.
Cost should not be an issue!
Do not try to save money by getting a cheaper chair, that is exactly what you will get....Cheap! I have a chair that has 4 different adjustments plus I use a lumbar support. Your back is worth it, don't skimp!!!
I use Maxell NC-II , cost about $30 - sm
Just bought myself 2 pair at buy.com for $30 each --retail is $50. The description is "Maxell HP-NCII Full-size Noise Canceling Headphones". Very comfortable and fit totally over the ear, not tight but fit nicely so you don't feel like your brain will come out of your ears, noise-canceling if you want that (I don't use it). I bought them at Wal-Mart a couple years ago; checked their website though and it does not look like they carry them anymore. Mine are starting to act up (right speaker cutting out sometimes) so I did a search on google, found them at a good price and bought 2 of them, so I should be set for another 5 or 6 years with any luck.
What does it cost you in insurance to be
BS
Cost of living
Could someone live comfortably in the Phillipines on $2000 per month net with adult and 1 teenager?
They probably figured you'd cost too much and
these companies surely do not want to offer anything a USA MT is worth. And they probably would rather insult you by failing you on the test, than your insulting them by refusing their low offer. A lot of us oldies with great quality get the same treatment. Or they say we are prima donnas or something, which really means we are not suckers. LOL.
Not if it's going to cost them more money to
Then they might outsource only when there truly IS a 'shortage of American MTs', and not just because they say there is. It should be cheaper to pay us more than it should be send the work to foreign countries.
Thank you. This is a new Dell which cost an arm and leg.
I will try to find a used or fix my other computer which crashed after I installed "FinallyFast.com" at the advice of NBC news.
Again, thank you for your advice. I nearly installed the beta Windows 7 being offered for free until I went into the discussion forum and saw the problems which were being encountered.
:) I love you guys!
