Staycation Shopping - Show #44
July 17, 2008 | 1 Comment
If you are staying close to home this summer because of the rising fuel costs, then you’ll love this week’s show about Staycation shopping!
Many states have put up websites listing local attractions and even discounted coupons. Connecticut has a website that offers special attraction discounts only to state residents, specifically rewarding those residents who are staying close to home.
You will even find sales for home improvements or decorating so you can tackle those big projects that you never seem to find the time for. Keep your eyes and ears open for those sales because they may not be called “staycation sales.”
No matter what your summertime plans, enjoy your family and your time in the sun! Stay safe!

Where To Find Half Price Groceries - Show #41
June 20, 2008 | 4 Comments
Yes, I like to talk about ways to cut your grocery bills. There are many shows in my archive that are dedicated to that topic but that’s because we all need to feed our families and there are multiple ways to save money.
This week I discovered two non-profit organizations that provide pre-set food packages to families who are in need or who need to save some money during these tough times.
The first is Angel Food Ministries. It was started in 1994 and has grown to multiple sites across the US. You can order different size food packages, each for a set price but you must order by the deadline and you will receive a specific date and time to pickup the order. There are no restrictions to ordering based on income and they even accept food stamps.
The second is the Share Food Program. This is a very similar program with different sized food packages, set prices, and order deadlines. I’ll have to get back to you about whether or not they accept food stamps.

Money is one of the biggest sources of worry, anxiety, and divorce among adults. So many people struggle to make ends meet and incur thousands of dollars in credit card debt along the way.
This week guest host Carrie Lauth interviews Kristine McKinley, CPA and Certified Financial Planner from Beacon Financial Advisors about two strategies that anyone can use to pay off their credit card debts. Kristine says there is no one perfect way to eliminate debt; the important thing is to choose a payment plan that you can live with and commit to.
