The cost of food items has been rising faster than the overall inflation rate for several years now, and there is really little that we consumers can do about it. But there is one powerful tactic that can help save up to 50% or more on the things we cook most often: Buy in bulk.
All major grocery chains run weekly specials on various meats, vegetables, frozen entrees and other popular foodstuffs. While the savings on these items can be significant, most people find buying in bulk and stocking up rather impractical because of the limited space available in the freezer section of their refrigerators. Buying a small chest-style freezer will enable you to take advantage of these special deals when they pop up.
And the savings can be significant indeed. For example, buying twenty pounds of hamburger meat during a 70 cents off promotion will save you a whopping $14! And buying five family-sized frozen food entrees at $6 each during a “buy one get one free promotion” will let you return home with 10 of them, which translates into a savings of $30!
What’s more, we all know how much we could save by buying in bulk at Costco, Sam’s Club, or one of the other giant wholesale clubs can be. All we need is the storage space to hold all of bounty, hence the need for a small chest freezer.

With smart phones slowly but surely taking over the cell phone market, more people are browsing the web using iPhones and Android-based devices all the time. I absolutely love my aging Samsung Moment, but I have to admit that the clunky web browser that it came with is horrible. In a nutshell, it’s SLOW! Well, I finally decided to do something about it.
Most of us love to learn new and exciting things. After all, an inquisitive mind is one of the attributes that helps define us as human beings. But many of us don’t really care all that much about studying, which is the way we simply have to learn while we’re in school. Many students find the task of studying to be boring and repetitious, but it doesn’t have to be that way at all.
If you’re a webmaster or blogger who participates in the Google Adsense program, you probably check your Adsense stats several times a day. And if you’re like me, you probably check them fairly often on your smart phone. If so, don’t you just hate having to navigate the reports pages on that little screen?
