Comment on Using Leftover Hamburg or Hot Dog Buns by krista

I learned a trick from my grandma to use up left over hot dog buns. you save them in the freezer so they are firm. take them out and cut them into slices, like mini bread, spread on a garlic butter mixture ( my favorite is use a stick of softened butter, 1 table spoon of granulated garlic, and a 1/4 of a cup of parmesean cheese) put a pan on med high heat put toasts face down until golden brown, have your oven on 300 place cooked toasts on pan and leave in oven until all are done. let it bake for aprox. 10 min total. you get mini crunchy garlic toasts that even your pickiest eater will love!!! very fun!

Also finding clothing stores going out of business! Recently our Sears store is no longer going to be selling clothing, so I checked it out and I was getting name brand cordoroys for $5! $200 winter jackets for $30.

I know this doesn’t happen often but when it does taking advantage of it is definately worth it!

You have 3 years to claim your IRS refund otherwise the government keeps it. You’ll need to provide your Social Security number, your filing status and the exact dollar amount.

I agree. This was a good read as I just started my own pet sitting business in Houston. I personally would never leave just anyway to watch my pet, or leave them in a kennel.

I do laundry in the evening and before breakfast all the clothes washed the day before are dried and put away. Best thing is that it is virtually FREE to air dry!

Sure it’s possible. First of all, you’ll be with your friends in a new location. You’ll find that you will still have plenty of free time to explore the city, and you may meet new people who are doing the same thing.

I’m looking to find a good spring break destination with some friends, but we are on a budget, and still want to have a good time.

is it possible to still take an alternative spring break and have a really fun experience?

Comment on How to Check the Value of Old Life Insurance Policies by MoneySavingTips

Hi Nicholas,

If it was term life insurance, it would have expired since the premium would no longer have been paid, in which case the insurance company keeps the money. If it was a whole life policy, the premiums would continue to be paid from the balance in the account until it ran out. If this is what you had, you should check with the plan administrator at Hughes.
