MORE THAN ONE INCOME STREAM DOESN’T MEAN YOU’LL BE RICH! When people tell me that they earn a second income I’m impressed and nosey at the same time. Who wouldn’t be? I’m always keen to understand why people choose to earn extra money whether it be to get ahead or to stay afloat. A few months back I had a gentleman send me an email to ask about a third income stream because the money he earned wasn’t enough to make ends meet. As you know I worked two full-time jobs for many years just to get my foot in the door to where I am now a permanent employee but it’s not something that was easy. Sometimes I dread thinking back to all the time it took away from my family but it was something I did for all of us. A second income however doesn’t mean a second full-time or even part-time job it simply means earning extra money aside from your main money source. There are many of you reading this right now who probably have multiple money streams and YES that is awesome but as we all know the best money earned is that where […]

Copycat Starbucks Strawberry Acai Pink Drink Keto Style
YOUR GO-TO SUMMER PINK DRINK LOW ON THE CARBS AND SUGAR-FREE When Mrs. CBB made her way to Starbucks on the way home from a recent trip she decided to try their popular pink drink known as the Strawberry Acai Starbucks Refresher but keto style. In all honesty she had no idea what she was about to order but the barista was very helpful and together they created a sugar-free Passion-Fruit Strawberry Pink Drink made with coconut milk.

This will obviously be a huge savings to the Starbucks Pink Drink lover and for anyone who wants to control the amount of sugar and carbs they are getting in their diet. Before we started our keto pink drink we put our large fancy glasses in the freezer to frost them up. Nothing better than a cold, frosty drink in a frosty mug. Right?

8 Costly Baking Ingredients To Include On Your Flyer Watch-List : The Grocery Game Challenge 2018 #3 May 14-20
STOCKING UP IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET WHAT YOU WANT FOR LESS Walking down the baking aisle at the grocery store or even the bulk food shop is cringe-worthy at times when you start to see the prices of baking ingredients. Here’s the thing though, you have to understand that food costs money and eating well is possible on a budget but YOU must do the work to find the deals. If you are a savvy shopper you need a flyer watch-list which simply means a master list of products that you WILL use but are far more expensive than others you purchase. This means that you will keep an eye on prices for those products in particular because when the time and price is right you should stock up. This is where a reserve fund or stockpile budget really comes in handy for the everyday consumer. Baking ingredients have always been higher to the consumer who values pre-made products over baking only because we see what we want to see when it comes to pricing. It’s far more convenient to buy a 6 pack of muffins for $5 rather than a bag of flour for $8 especially […]
Should There Be A Garage Sale Return Policy? – The Saturday Weekend Review #254
GARAGE SALE BUYERS AND SELLERS CAN BOTH PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM RETURNS AND EMOTIONS IN A FEW EASY STEPS A garage sale return policy isn’t as bad a bad idea but if you do it right nothing will have to be returned. If you’ve ever had a garage sale deal gone wrong or felt ripped off because the item you purchased didn’t work I have some ideas so it never happens again. For the sellers, I’ve also got you covered with ideas that might offset any potential issues at your garage sale. Should you expect what you purchase at a garage sale to work? Of course it should especially if the seller assures you that it works. The problem with trusting what someone says is that they aren’t always sure themselves and there are shady people out there that don’t care if you aren’t smart enough to ask about testing the product. When you spend your money at Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire and so on if something doesn’t work you return the item with the receipt and they will refund you the money as per their return policy guidelines. When you go to garage sales there is no return […]
