Gluten Free Living: My first review for you

Having been diagnosed with Celiac Disease in the last year I have had to make major dietary changes. The hardest thing I have found to replace is hamburg and hot dog buns. I hear UDI's makes a good one but I have not been able to locate them in my local stores. My only option has been Kinnikinnick Hot dog rolls. Out of a 5 star rating I give them a 2. They are very dry and a hard roll, Nothing like a traditional whole wheat soft hot dog bun. It crumbles as you eat it. I will just eat my gluten free hot dog's bunless if this bun is my only option.

For those who have had to go gluten free, What has been your biggest challenge? What is your favorite gluten free food?

A penny saved is a penny earned

With all of the fuss over TLC's extreme coupon show more people are talking about the use of coupons. I see so many posts and wonder "how do they do it?".
The answer is first they set aside the time and focus on it. This is where I lose by not making time to sort coupons and match sales. When I do bother to make the time I do save money.

I was just cleaning out a pile of papers that had built up in my office and found notations I had made from a Hannaford Shopping trip on July 5th. I spent 37.82 but saved 32.18. I ended up with free peroxide, free fresh peas, free cubed steak. I paid .27 cents for an angus steak. I got cat litter for half price and almost free wax paper. All because I took the time. My goal to do more of this and see how much I can save over the year to put towards other bills.

I won't ever be an 'extreme' coupon shopper as we've heard and seen there is a lot of fraudulent use of coupons on that show. I just want to save some money on my family's grocery bill and make our money stretch further each month.

Do you coupon? Share with us your top tips for those new to this and I'm hoping to have a giveaway soon. Who knows you just might be the lucky winner.

What in the world is going on? increase in hacks and spam

In the last week days I have gotten emails from not one but 5 different companies that I have done business with online in the past several years. The emails are alerts that files containing customer emails have been compromised. They reassure us that nothing other than email address's was compromised. They warn us of an increase in spam and to be very careful if getting an email from them that asks for personal information etc.

It is very weird to me that all of a sudden someone is hacking and stealing email address's. Yes I have noticed my spam box is much fuller than normal. What is going
on that there is this sudden increase in alerts that companies files have been compromised?

So my words of wisdom to you on this Tuesday morning is to be very careful who you give your information to. When online stay safe!
