Move from Austrailia

Thanks for the guest post by Jonathan Curtis

Does anyone know who the best provider of cable is in our area? I went to satellitetvcolumbusoh.net and found some pretty good deals, I just want to make sure I get the best! I recently moved to the area and am just beginning to adjust to the differences. I moved from Australia for my job. I am a college professor. Most people can meet people and make friends through their job, but it isn’t like I am going to be hanging out with or getting to know my students. In Australia, I had a group of friends that got together every month to play bunko. Does anyone know of any bunko groups around here? I promise, I am not a freak, just new to the area and looking for friends. I am thinking about trying a church this weekend because I miss going to church and that is a great place to meet like-minded people and make friends. I am used to going to a catholic church, but there is a baptist church right by my house, so I think I will try that first.

Getting Creative

I appreciate the guest post, Jewel Rodgers

As money gets tighter around our house, I am always looking for new and creative ways to cut costs. I’ve clipped coupons, bought groupons and negotiated lower rates on our cable bill. Of course there are some things you can’t negotiate or reduce your rates on like water, gas and electricity. I even made the decision to get rid of our home phone now that we all have cell phones. And then there are other things that I don’t even consider getting rid of like our security packages adt. You can’t put a price on the safety of your family, especially during these tough economic times when people are getting more and more desperate. I also have certain name brand items I won’t consider using an alternative of either including my clothing detergent and dish soaps. I’ve tried other brands to see how they work but when you have to use twice as much to get the same results, the savings are no longer there. Looks like I’m going to have to get more creative in the new year!
