PUT YOUR GROCERY BILL ON A DIET
April 13, 2010
I got this info out of the most recent Everyday with Rachel Ray. BEFORE YOU GO. 1. Commit to shopping less. 2. Map out a week’s worth of meals. 3. Leave your plastic at home (Cash only). WHILE YOU’RE THERE. 4. Get in and out – fast. 5. Buy meant, seafood, and poultry – when it’s on sale. ONCE YOU’RE HOME. 6. Review your receipts. In fact, hold on to a month’s worth. Cross off staples like milk and eggs – “whatever’s left are extras you can live without. Try shopping on weekends when you’re not so tired and willpower is not so low. 7. CONSIDER ANOTHER STORE. Compare prices. Some good tips here!
TAX TIPS
April 13, 2010
The federal tax breaks for first-time buyers of $8,000 and repeat buyers of $6,500 are about to expire and it doesn’t look like Congress is in the mood to extend the incentives again. The deadline for a tax credit is tight. Purchase contracts must be signed by April 30, and closings must occur by June 30, 2010. So best hurry up!
