As my homeowners insurance is due towards the end of May, may refund will all go there, supplemented with some more of my own money.

With interest rates near zero, my interest earnings have plummeted, so I have shut down my wallet. And I canceled one vacation I was thinking of taking.

Skyrocketing grocery costs are hitting me the hardest.

I was thinking of replacing one of my televisions, but instead sent away for the $40 coupon. Televisions aren’t made in the US anymore anyway.

Shoppers can get much more out of their rebate checks than ever before. Retailers are coming out with great deals, rebates and other offers as they try to drive sales. If you’re smart, you can get much better value for money by reviewing newspaper inserts and visiting coupon sites online.

I am not getting a tax refund as I am self employed but I can say that living in New Hampshire, I barely feel any of the problems mentioned in this article. Our state is not only tax-free, but gas is reasonable still and grocery prices appear to be the same — plus this time of year we have farms here growing lots of veggies and fruit so we just buy local produce which supports them but also is a healthier option and not that expensive at all. When I read about states like California I feel for my friends living out there with the taxes, housing costs, and fuel prices. But we are America, we will rise above. It always hurts before things turn around for the best, right?

Gas and Go!!! Just fill up and drive away without paying. I believe in Screw me and i screw you, because they dont care about us and probably never pumped a gallon of gas themselves nor payed out of there own pocket.
