    Best Buy

    I'd estimate that 50% people inside any fortune 500 could be eliminated with minimal impact to day to day operations. Makes you wonder how companies can become so bloated with nobody ever noticing huh? They just keep hiring and hiring, as opposed to trying to get more out of their existing...

    Lower your food costs to $1 per day?

    Yep, quality -- I like it. The next house I buy has got to have a yard big enough to accomidate a greenhouse and a garden so that I can grow our veggies year round. That's the only thing I really miss about living in a patio home / maint free community right now -- No locally grown food (Local...

    Wow this sounds nice! I doubt we'd ever be able to implement it around here though -- Seems like 1 of us is always working while the other one is cooking. haha -- You are truly blessed ;) - Hakrjak

    Hakrjak = Hacker Jack, pronounced like Crackerjack. It stems from some trouble I had with the law in my teens over my enthusiasm for my computer hobby :) - Hakrjak

    I agree on this statement.... In my house -- the kids and I are the only ones who will eat leftovers, as my girlfriiend absolutely refuses to eat them (Without much reason other than, "I told you when we got together that I do not eat leftovers!" LOL...) -- Isn't it wierd that this has become...

    Granite Countertops - Training & Tools?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Eh, I tried the "get creative" approach, but it looks like they must be getting plenty of business still because they replied that this was the lowest they could go on price. I think I might just go with laminate tops for $900 including install. Although I'm competing with a house down the...

    Great contribution -- giving you some speed for this post ++ I think it looks like you're able to keep your budget down because I don't see any seafood or red meat in the menu's, and not a lot of fresh salads. I think that's what eats us up the most, although I need to sit down with our...

    I thought this story was interesting because -- We're currently spending around $500-600 per month to feed my family of 4 over here. We buy a lot in bulk at Sam's club and freeze all of our meats (I know plenty of people who refuse to eat frozen meat, and must have fresh, yada yada yada)...

    With the crappy economy people are being forced to trim their household budgets every way possible to be able to live within their means, but a $1 per day diet? Am I crazy? Check it out: One Dollar Diet Project - Hakrjak

    How Would You Market This Lemon... and Win?

    I have the answer for you, and it's as easy as adding 1 $4 an hour worker or whatever minimum wage is in your state to your staff.... Dress them up in a ridiculous suit and have them hop around on the street nearby with a sign aimed at your location. It works and lots of businesses are now...

    Can't believe I missed this thread ;) haha... Well, I met a few guys in the business over the years, and hung out with plenty of guys that are customers of such places, and even dated a couple of girls that worked in such places -- and the main issues I would point out would be: - Cash...

    Is college completely necessary?

    HOT! 
    I think college is becoming more and more necessary to land you a high paying job that will get you the seed money to launch your business / investments. About 10 years ago when I graduated, having a college degree was a big deal -- but now it seems like everybody has one, so it's practically...

    Granite Countertops - Training & Tools?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I found a cool website called www.toolocity.com that has all the tools you need to do it yourself along with videos. I dunno if I would want to devote the kind of time required though, since it looks very intensive. What I'm investigating now is -- would it be a significant savings to have...

    Granite Countertops - Training & Tools?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I recently got a quote for Granite Countertops for the flip I'm working, and I was astonished. Here's how it broke down: Materials: $352.80 Installation: $1818.00 Labor to undermount sink: $200.00 So it's almost all labor... $2000 worth.... The guy said that some of his regular...

    Ah yes... Sometimes women don't see the romance in our plans ;) Mine is against the idea as well, so I'll have to settle for them to play some Elvis songs during the reception I guess. - Hakrjak
