Several months after I got really into cycling last year, my friend and cycling guru gave me a fantastic pair of cycling sunglasses.
Over time, they became scratched, and I thought I’d need to replace them. Unfortunately, the brand name had worn off, and I couldn’t find any sunglasses like them when I researched online. However, I was able to piece together some guidance on taking the scratches off my sunglasses, and now they look almost like new.…
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the government or law enforcement, it’s almost certainly a scam.
One common scam involves a phone call that supposedly comes from the Social Security Administration (SSA) or Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). They may claim that your Social Security number is about to be suspended due to criminal or fraudulent activities.…
Using debit cards instead of credit cards seems like a good idea on the surface. You’re not potentially incurring debt or interest charges, since you’re taking money directly from your bank account. That very convenience is what makes using debit cards for purchases a bad idea.
Years ago, I had a coworker whose bank account was drained by a thief who had somehow stolen her debit card number.…
I stopped shopping at Aldi after a few bad experiences several years ago. After reading so many glowing stories about Aldi lately, I decided to give Aldi another try.
Several years ago, I shopped at the Aldi located about two or three miles from my house.
After about the third or fourth bad experience, I swore I’d never go there again no matter how good their prices were on certain groceries.…

If your child seems to need glasses, there are some things you need to know before making that eye doctor appointment.
I got my first pair of glasses in 4th grade, and so did my now-teenage daughter. She’s gone through several pairs of glasses since then. Fortunately, after her eyes stop changing, she’ll have an option that at her age, I didn’t know would ever exist.…

In this post, I’m sharing another video about some of the stranger stuff we sold on eBay recently.
Almost everything came from somewhere around our house or garage. As always, before deciding to list something for sale, I researched similar items on eBay to make sure other items had sold in the past for $10 or more.
I usually don’t list items for less than $10 plus shipping, since it’s not worth my time.…
I’m a longtime fan of dollar stores and Dollar Tree in particular. I don’t have any sort of financial connection to such stores, so I have nothing to gain by writing about them. I genuinely love going to dollar stores.
You’ll find bargains for any time of year at the dollar store, and you never know what you might find. Every store is slightly different, too.…
