You mean you never knew how to spit clean clothing before? You won’t believe how much money you’ll can save! Way to be frugal! Love your blog. You’ve got a great sense of humor =)

oh, boy… bj for coffee… maybe you could exchange half cup for three former wall street advisers… and then you’ll get (a) content for your next column, (b) a cleaning person for Cherie, (c) a present for you/your husband, maybe? lol… loved your sense of humor….

Having lived most of my life in Africa, I cannot imagine being upset because someone close never gave me a present. When I came to America, I had culture shock for the first time in my life. People expected things from others that it had never occurred to me to even want…

My daughter alternates with comments to me, “Mummy, we are so poor, we didn’t even notice there was a recession.” or “Mummy, I’m so thankful. We have so much.”

I guess, perspective is everything.

Resourceful gal that you are – that “Ancient Chinese Secret” could net you another source of income! Can’t wait to hear how negotiations with your Barista come out. ; )

be careful what you’re returning to Walgreens! with an expected “bonus” addition to the family, you may have to renegotiate the terms with your barista…………..

You poor girl! Love the barista bartering. Wish my job came with suck perks – I mean such perks! (pun intended here, too….)

We are all feeling it Jenny! The days of ol’ at UM are far gone. Our outrageous trips to Lincoln Road to clean out all of the latest fashions from the hottest boutiques almost seem like a distant dream. But no worries if bartering in today’s world still gets our fixes fulfilled, a BJ here and there is well worth the trade! Good luck and don’t forget to ask your Barista if you can get more bang for your buck if you swallow!

PS…Wilern I find it humorous that you are correcting Jenny’s grammar when you obviously need a bit of spell-check help too!

Check the sentence, Ryan had hand foot mouth. We know what you meant. The next time you invest, considder the .Coms. Maybe your husband could get a job at Starbucks. Two birds with one stone, weekly paycheck, etc.
