    Gatlinburg TN or New York City-where would you go?

    Being from NJ...If I were going into NY by train daily I'd stay in a hotel closer than Cranbury, NJ. I'd stay closer to the coastline to ride the train in, but the train is expensive. ($11 - $15 one way per person from Middletown, NJ to NY Penn station) At least you could enjoy the boardwalk and...

    cheapest way to get to Disney

    We used to fly. I got stuck in Atlanta for 10.5 hours and never made it to Orlando. The airline cancelled the flight and put us on standby for a flight into West Palm where they would put us up for the night and then take us by bus to Orlando. They lied. Thank God I have family in West...

    Our Wii died - now what?

    Our wii died a few weeks before Christmas & I had already purchased games to give the kids. We ordered a refurbished wii from Gamestop. It was $79 & came with a guarantee. We later realized that what was wrong with our wii was the power chord. Swap one with a friend or you can try to replace...

    If you could bring back 2 extinct attractions....

    My kids loved the Lion King show that was where Mickey's Philharmagic is. Although I do think they improved the area with the 3D movie...I miss the Lion King puppets. I was a big fan of Food Rocks too!

    bestbuy.com??? anyone having problems??

    I ordered a stove from Best Buy in the beginning of Nov. I arranged a delivery date when I purchased the stove. They sent me about 6 emails for various reasons but all containing little information. They offered an installations service and I thought how hard could it be to plug in an electric...

    Anyone know of a Wii deal?

    I got a Wii for my kids for Christmas 2 years ago & they have about 50 games for it. We had a huge storm and our downstairs playroom flooded. Something damaged the Wii console when we moved everything so it wouldn't get wet. I already bought them some new games, (well new to them but used games)...

    Turkey... Deal or no deal? (Discuss)

    I got 2 Perdue Turkey breasts for 79 cents a pound that I intended to make for Thanksgiving dinner. My friend works for Wegmans & they gave her a coupon for a free turkey and a huge discount on a ham. So we have an extra ham and a turkey. Our local store had a good deal on meat last week, so...

    Someday I fear health insurance will be a thing of the past.

    I had no health insurance for years. I am a single mom, 2 of my children have autism and are on special diets. Treatments for autism are generally uncovered anyway so why pay for insurance? Uncovered medical care easily costs me $12,000 per year per autistic child. If our healthcare system...

    Just Found Out I'm Pregnant...What Can I Do?

    Although I wouldn't recommend it...I didn't know I was pregnant until I was about 22-23 weeks along with my son. (He was a surprise baby born 11 months after delivering twins so...) I love roller coasters and thrill rides and I rode them all the time until I found out.

    Verizon striking

    I don't have much positive or negative to say about unions. People have the right to strike if they feel they are unfairly treated. A company should have the right to replace an employee with one that will work. I did discontinue all my services with Verizon this week because when I called to...

    freezing deli meats to save money

    We freeze our deli meats all the time and haven't had any problems until my DD thought it might be good to use the microwave to defrost her turkey...not a good idea. I recommend letting the meats defrost in fridge. Make sure package is sealed well and you should have no problem.

    Back to School Wardrobe Budget

    My kids are all teens. I get one nice outfit for their first day back. If they need jeans or undies because they've outgrown last year's then I might buy an extra pair. My oldest needs a new bra every time I go to the store, it seems. I think she's eating her deodorant too, but at least she...

    Saving $$- 'Cooking' in the hotel room

    The closest we have come to cooking is bringing a coffee pot and making instant soup or instant oatmeal with it. We stock the fridge with celery and carrot sticks. I buy fruit and cheese snacks maybe some crackers. I buy veggies and I dip in salad dressing. We'vd made tuna salad with canned...

    Coupon Train ~~ New Riders Welcome!

    Very proud of myself...I just completed a shopping trip and I saved $56.85. I got a free giftcard worth $10 and a store coupon worth $5. When I arrived home I found that they overcharged me for some snack bars. They should have been $1 a piece on sale, but the sale price wasn't the price I paid...

    Keeping the value of Disney gift cards safe in your home

    I bought a few gift cards to get discounts at the grocery store. One local store offered a free $25 gift card for gas if you spend $75 on certain brand items during a time period. I bought a few gift cards with the deals to save for a future trip. I keep them in a safe. I have a...
