During these times, I have looked for ways to save money? Did you know that if you live anywhere near Cumming, Georgia that on certain days you can go to Tyson’s Chicken plant right there off the square in Cumming and purchase chicken for about half the cost that it is at the local grocery store, that is the last time I bought some. I haven’t bought any in a while because when we go I usually pick up three or four boxes to put in the freezer. Below is a map to their location and I believe their phone number is 770-888-4611. They’re only open odd hours Mon.-Thur. so I would try calling before heading that way.
This is a great idea from a friend of ours who just happens to be a home inspector also. I personally never heard of this and I am very excited about checking it out. Sometimes the old thing of “What are we going to have for Dinner” gets so old. So below is what our friend wrote:
When things are slow, money wise, you’ve got to find ways to save in every area of your budget. We had a habit of eating out too much. We always had good intentions when it came to eating at home, but the day gets busy, schedules change and so on until it’s dinner time and we are caught unprepared. I found a great site that has helped us tremendously with getting our grocery shopping organized and has saved us money as well. I heard about E-mealz on the radio and gave it a try. http://www.e-mealz.com/amember/go.php?r=28614&i=l0(justcopy and paste link into your browser) . It cost $5.00 per month to use the service. Here’s how it works. You sign up for the plan you want, which is one of various menu plans that are made each week around the sales at the store that you shop at. We use Publix http://www.publix.com? . Each week on the day that your favorite stores ads are released you can go and print your dinner menu. It also includes a shopping list with the individual and total prices. It’s a great program that has helped us eat at home and save money. Our favorite store is Kroger and from what I understand it is available for most stores.

Thanks for the great tip.
If you or anyone needs an Atlanta home inspection be sure and give me a call at 404-788-2581 or visit our Atlanta home inspections website.
Also how much do you know about Radon gases? If the answer is not much then check out our Radon Inspection page. You might be glad you did as we have had several homes in the Cherokee County test high.
I like to shop in bulk and when I can I buy the larger packs of ground chuck on sale. I use to bring it home and break it up into 1 pound packages and then freeze. I have learned that when I purchase it in the 5pound plus package not only do I save money but I can also save time. When I get it home I go ahead and brown it all then put it in 1 pound packages. This makes it easy to pull out for tacos, hamburger helper, vegatable soup, or to add to spagetti. Not having to stand over the stove and thaw it makes it so easy to use right out of the freezer.
Hope this helps some other busy wives out there. I know with trying to do the marketing, teaching and learning about social marketing, blogging and everything else, I don’t want to worry about dinner time.

I have once again started listening to the science of getting rich cds that I purchased and was reminded of the grateful attitude. See right now, especially around Christmas, it is so easy to maybe focus on what one doesn’t have or what one can’t do or can’t get for their kids that we forget all that we have to be grateful for. I have so many things to be grateful for…..I have a loving family, both my family and my husbands family live close by and we can visit them anytime we choose. My whole family is very healty and doing well. My kids are great kids, even tho one is 16 and one is 11, I have yet to see those “bad teenage years” that so many talk about. Now I think this is a KEY – I have always said “I have great kids and I try to never speak in a negative manner about them.” I believe that you attract what you say! Back to the book, it also taught me that focusing on what I didn’t want to happen in my life actually brought it into my life. Now before anyone gets to wondering, I am a born again spirit filled believer, in love with Jesus, and I believe that God, the Father, is the giver of all good things. So I know who to be grateful to…. I also think that with my actions and attitudes I open the door for the things that I want to happen and the things that I don’t. With everything going on in the real estate market, it would be very easy for me to get into the same attitude of gloom and doom as others, but I chose not to and even tho we have had less home inspections this past month, our average for the year is up, we did really well in the home inspection profession this year, and for that we are exceedingly grateful. And we could not have done it without you, our customers, so to each and everyone of you a great big “THANK YOU!”

Sending a card has a way of making you and the other person smile. When I send an unexpected card it always makes me laugh when I get around the person and hear how it made them feel. Making a person feel special is what SendOutCards is all about. It allows you to act on a prompting no matter what time it is. There’s no going to the store, then picking the right card, bringing it home, getting a stamp, and then mailing it. You can easily sit down at your computer, log in, pick a card, fill out the inside (in your own handwriting if you want) and hit send. Send out cards does the rest, they print it, stuff it, lick it put a real stamp on it and send it out.
