Greetings,
I wanted to give a quick mention to a site that I’ve been using personally for a few months now. It offers all things free and freebie-like.
Examples that come to mind include free cereal, free bottled water, free State maps, free music—it’s all just so random and wonderful! The kind folks who run the site [...]

Hey it’s Free or……An A’ight Site
Bringing your Meals and Beverages with you
We all know that it is almost always much cheaper to bring food and beverage from home rather than to buy it throughout the day. Here are some ways I’m trying to avoid buying food on campus as a commuter student. They would also be helpful for anyone who commutes to work, which is most [...]
The New Scam of Textbook Rentals
There’s a new trend that would supposedly save students money on textbooks: renting your textbooks. There are now several sites offering this service. It would be great, except that it’s not any cheaper than a good deal you might find on eBay.com or Amazon.com. And, you don’t actually own your books, you must send them [...]
To Catch a Thief or “What’s Next After Identity Theft”
Hopefully you will never lose your wallet or have your identity stolen, but if you do, here are the steps to follow immediately:
Step 1. Using the information on your card inventory, cancel your debit card immediately. Your debit is at the most risk, as anyone can go online and use your debit card if [...]
Free Earbuds with a Clean Face!
I saw a very odd promotion today. One of the major facial product brands is currently bundling a free pair of mp3-player-ready earbuds with their daily cleanser. I bought the generic, so I couldn’t tell you how well they work. It could be a good deal if you’re in the market for headphones. Or, if [...]
How Gen Y is Experiencing this Recession
Hey Everyone,
I had a few different ideas for a post today. One was for another crockpot recipe, or I could do many more pieces about wedding planning, OR I could write about the Recession. Oftentimes, I feel like the general media does enough beating us all over the head with negative news, but this article [...]
Economist Article on Cheaper Technology
Radiator Toast readers might be interested in a recent article in The Economist about changing technology. We are all familiar with the fact that computers get faster and have more storage every year. What if people decided that computers were big and fast enough, and we’d rather just have the same computer that was sold [...]
What the Crock? Chicken Ratatouille Recipe…..
Greetings,
While hailed from France originally, and now a lovable Disney film, “Ratatouille” is basically just uber-chunky spaghetti sauce in my mind that starts out thin and gets thick when done….but when you make it for people they feel special, b/c it sounds sorta exotic
Added bonus: subtitue a can of drained/rinsed canolini beans for chicken if you’re [...]
Some Warranties Are Worth More Than Others
I recently bought a new computer. I was originally going to buy the computer online, but my dad convinced me to purchase the computer in a brick and mortar store. The reason was that it is much easier to get support in a store. He had a friend that bought a computer from Dell.com, and, [...]
Mike’s Discount Foods: Week 2
Greetings!
I went back to Mike’s to see what I could see last Friday (January 9), and I ended up leaving with a TON of stuff. Please feel free to check out the “Groceries” category of this Blog to see what I purchased during other trips. Meanwhile, here was my “take”:
2 lbs. frozen Hillshire Farms cheddar brats
1/2 gallon [...]
