Halloween Costume

Don't forget to look up articles on the internet to see if you have the items in your home to make a really cool Halloween costume.

A couple of years ago, I made a Headless Woman Halloween Costume.  It was probably one of the best costumes I have ever had... and I made it homemade, out items from around the house. 

The dress was an old one someone left in a rental property.  The blood was made from corn starch and a couple of other items.  Read the article to get a better idea.

Shopping Habits

It is easy to get into the habit of going shopping every weekend, or every pay day.

If you would really like to cut down on your lifestyle, try shopping on Tuesday or Wednesday. This is better, for one because there are less people in the store. However, just try not to make going grocery shopping part of your weekend entertainment.

Sometimes, it is fun to look, although when we make shopping and spending money a habit, we can very easily get into the habit of living week to week, or pay day to pay day.

If you go during the week, you are more likely to get in and out of the store quicker, because you want to get home and relax a little bit, before you have to go to bed since you have to get up for work the next day.

Better yet, see how long you can go without going to Wal-Mart, Costco, or your local superstore. This can become a game in itself, which will in turn, help you to save money!

Auction For Alabama

Over 40 musicians and artists have donated items for tornado victims in Alabama. This is a great opportunity for you to not only donate but also get a great deal. Most of the goods are autographed and items are selling for as cheap as $1 with free shipping.

On the same note, a number of Nashville artists have started a site called Songs for Joplin. Donate a little and get a little music.

One more Generic Tissue Paper

While we are on the subject of generic tissue papers, I have one more to review for you.

This one is a generic toilet paper that you can purchase exclusively at K-Mart.

The brand is Smart Sense, and to the best of my knowledge it is a generic K-Mart brand.

This paper is equivalent to Charmin and pretty close to Cottonelle. I would definitely suggest this brand, to anyone who is considering trying it.

Happy shopping and saving everyone!

How to Perform a Magic Trick with Pennies

Ever think of being a performer for your child's birthday party instead of the host.

This is a great way to have a great time at the party, and to make your kids enjoy it even more. Especially when they are still young enough to think of their parents as 'heroes'.

Have one of the child's aunts, uncles, or a grandparent fill in as the host for you at the party, and be a clown, magician or perform some other type of act. For older kids, perhaps a dj.

Here is a magic trick to get you started How to Perform a Magic Trick with Pennies.

Generic Brand - Magic Tissue

Magic Tissue is a generic brand of tissue paper that a number of companies use. This tissue takes about twice as much than a name brand tissue such as Northern, Cottonelle or Charmin. It is a good idea to stay away from this brand.

A lot of companies purchase the brand in order to save money. If they would only consider the fact that the consumer is going to use twice as much if not more, they would realize they are throwing money out the window and being perceived as tightwads in the progress.

This tissue gives a very poor public appearance.

Generic Brand Review

If you are shopping for store brand products that do the trick of brand name products, try Great Value (the Wal-Mart store brand) paper towels.

These paper towels are better than a lot of name brand paper towels. They are comparable to Bounty. As a matter of fact, if you didn't know it, you would probably think they were Bounty.

Check them out, great towels for the price!
