We thought it would be a great start of the year to get a new mattress for the new year - maybe a memory foam mattress this time. Why? because they say - the form mattress molds to the shape of your body - thus giving you better support and circulation. It reduces the stress on y our body - giving you a better night’s rest. Now everyone can use a good night sleep right? I’ve been having problems with my mattress for the last few months - so any mattress at this point of time would be a good change.
It’s almost Christmas and the year is coming to an end. A customer asked me today what were my plans for the new year - and I told him I was going to do better with my store. And as for him - he wants to take an Online English degree so that he can go overseas to teach. If I loved traveling and were any younger - I would definitely take that route - it seems that Western English teachers are welcome in the Asian country and to spend a few years going for an upgrade is worth every penny because I have seen many of our customers here travel abroad to teach English as a second language. Isn’t it awesome that we have the internet and we can do just about everything and anything. Well, Happy New Year and a Blessed Christmas to all.
A great way to teach your kids about money starting this Christmas - great Christmas gift from Moonjar. This money box teaches the kids to Save their money, Spend their money and also to Share - I think part of charity work. We’ve been trying to tell the kid about charity - but she doesn’t seems to want to - so with pocket money next year - it would be a great box to give her for Christmas - plus it’s 50% discount today! woohoo!!!
A great lost to the world and no I do not know Mr Jobs personally but I know his work and am very familiar with it. Funny one can feel so sad even when you don’t know him personally eh? But yes - I’m sure his work impacted all of our lives in one way or another. How has he impacted yours?
Many years ago - you don’t see many small businesses like ours having a barcode scanner - but now that they are so affordable - we are looking into getting 2 for our own business. Honeywell Barcode Scanner was recommended by a fellow business friend and he had been using this one for a long time and they are very affordable now. I loved that they are wireless and they have the best warranty amongst other Barcode brand names. Coding initially will be tedious but after which - we don’t have to worry about staff pricing goods wrongly. In the future - it will still save us a lot of money and it’s time to make our retail store look more professional.
So I heard that this is going to be the latest kid’s friendly laptop and can within the wear and tear a kid can caused. Perhaps they should make one that can within the abuse of an adult too eh. For $498 - one can get this laptop for your kids at Best Buy. But for $498 - one can get a cheaper one from Walmart - don’t you think? I saw one from Walmart for $258 this week at Walmart. So what is the difference between this Toshiba and the one in Walmart besides it’s price difference>
They said that this L735d is a makeover of the L635 but comes with several kid friendly features and software - they redesigned its case and it’s rather appealing the green in color truth be told. Runs Window 7 as its OS - it has a webcam - most important to kids these days for video chatting and a huge hard drive at 320GB and an AMD processor. Battery will last for 5.5 hrs so I was told but you and I know it rarely last more than an hour on constant use. The screen is only at 13.3″ - so not really a big deal and like I said at that price I rather pay the $258 and I’ll make it kid friendly as easy.
Yesterday, Steve Jobs announced to the entire world that he is resigning as CEO of Apple and will continue to be on the Board - if the Board permits and the director for the Apple’s employees. So how did you take the news? to some - not so well - to others it was expected as his health haven’t been the best. Apple’s stock plunge slightly after the announcement but that’s to be expected. So will Apple survived without its CEO?
So a few of us met up and had coffee @ a nice cafe downtown and decided to do some scavenger hunt online for the house - because we had seen this idea in country living’s magazine - and wanted to use the same idea for our cottage. While having coffee - we also chatted about the usual stuff like life - cooking, insurance and how we all use the life insurance calculator to come up with how much we should insure ourselves and our houses and its contents.
If you haven’t been networking of late - you should try - because the information you get from your friends - and ideas are invaluable. But the cafes they find are even better - love the internet - and love the yakking - you should try it sometime.
I pride myself for being a savvy shopper and I tell my kids I never buy anything unless they are on sale - the spouse also teaches the kids the same way. The other thing I do to save money when shopping or get a better deal is through coupon codes - I’m addicted to them. I shop at walmart very often for all my things from a trampoline to goggles for my children - so when I saw these walmart coupons at dropdowndeals i just had to bookmark this page - it’s awesome!! and every little bit counts I tell you ! Whether it’s for shipping or for 5 - 10% - they are still savings one cannot ignore. Buying smart is the way to go in this economy of ours.
Who doesn’t? but seriously what do one do if you need money like now or yesterday? can’t go to your friends or family - in case they look down on you and think you are a loser and can’t support your girlfriend and kid right? Luckily for us here in the West - there is this payday loans you can go to as long as you have a job. I know what you are going to say - you crazy ? don’t you know about their high interest? of course I do - but if this money can tide me over for now - I will be able to budget better - for emergencies like this. And yes ! it can be done - I’ve done it before and paid off my high interest loan - survived it - and make a turn around - so don’t blame anyone else - except yourself if you go deeper in debt.
