    Cheapwad Finds--Opposite of Blow That Dough!

    Don't know if this post belongs here, but........I was in a store ready to buy toilet paper. (I am loyal to a certain brand.) The 9 roll package was $22. The 12 roll package was $20 !!! I looked at the pricing twice, but that's what it said. How could the 12 rolls be cheaper than the 9...

    Looking at Aetna or AARP/UHC

    Husband and I have had Aetna for our Medicare supplemental insurance for 4 or 5 yrs (don't know exactly), but we haven't had any problem with them covering almost everything that wasn't covered by Medicare. We haven't had any major surgeries, but have visited the E.R., met with numerous doctors...

    do you weigh your high school weight?

    I remember the weight I entered on the form for my driver's license application at the age of 16. I consistently weight 5 to 7 pounds LESS that that in my 6 years of retirement. During my working years and child raising years, I was often a good 10 pounds heavier than that 16-year-old weight...

    What is your pet peeve of the day? -- 2021

    When I want to print off some report or financial information and I come across a blank page with the notation "This page intentionally left blank." Doesn't cause me any real problem, but the fact that 'they' do that just irks me. Why do they bother to include a page that has nothing on it...

    What is your pet peeve of the day? -- 2021

    Pet Peeve of the Day........for the last couple years, early in December, Target has a day or two on which you can buy Target gift cards on-line for 10% off. For a few years I buy gift cards during that time for my great nieces and nephews. Last year I got the cards, but no envelopes to put...

    What is your pet peeve of the day? -- 2021

    Don't know if this goes here as a pet peeve but.........Got groceries today at a big box store. Went to the self-check-lane as we find we don't like waiting in a long line for someone else to check us out. I'm okay with that. But as soon as I pulled my cart along side the check-out station, a...

    Confession of a Failed Steps Addict

    On another forum, I just saw an ad for Brooks running shoes. It says something like "turn your 9.99k steps into 10k." And then it shows a man running around his kitchen table !!!

    Confession of a Failed Steps Addict

    ......you can catch me a couple nights a week pacing around the house to get those final steps in for the day. I've worn out or lost a couple Omron pedometers and have recently started using an Ozo Fitness pedometer......only because I couldn't find the exact Omron I've used in the past. Yup...

    Confession of a Failed Steps Addict

    I am a spreadsheet geek and "steps" are one of my daily postings. Been doing that for a couple years. It keeps me moving and motivated. Yes, sometimes it feels like I'm a little over the top keeping daily track......but it works for me. I'm over 70 and feel like my daily walking is just part...

    Tipping

    Just got home from a week's vacation in Clearwater. I am SOOOO over having to tip everyone for everything. We usually tip at restaurants and bars. But I got to thinking about this one bar situation. It was a really small bar. We ordered drinks. She only had to take one or two steps to...

    What do you take for migraines?

    Used to take Zomig but the insurance decided not to cover it unless I had tried and failed with taking cheaper drugs. I now take Sumatriptan too. It works. My migraines have decreased significantly as I've gotten older.

    RSV vaccine side effects?

    As for insurance coverage....it may vary. We had appointments yesterday for all 3 vaccines at Walgreens. Pharmacist said husband's were ALL covered by insurance. For me, my insurance would only cover Flu and Covid at Walgreens, BUT the insurance would cover the RSV vaccine at CVS. So we got...
