When was the last time you went to the library?

Working a 40 hour a week job can really cut into your day! Since I was laid off my job 6 months ago, I've had the pleasure of trying new things, like this blog! 

Because this blog is about saving money, when I see a book I want to read, instead of going to Amazon, I go to the public library! Libraries have changed so much from when I was a kid (back when the earth was cooling)! It is so much more than books. You can now download digital audio books and even books to read on a Kindle. They also have videos of the History Channel and PBS...two of my favorite stations to watch! The library is also a great place to go to read newspapers like the NY Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and, of course, your local paper. 

New food discovery in Las Vegas!

Now that I finally got moved in to the house, I have had a little time to explore my surroundings. What a GREAT discovery I made at the 99 Cent Store! The 99 Cent Chef: Deal of the Day - Mexican Soy Chorizo: I have tried a lot of different Soy Chorizos and spent a lot of money doing it! If you live where there is a 99 Cent Store, go get some! It is the best. Buy a few tubes and throw it in the freezer. I also discovered a great quick and easy recipe from Trader Joe's on making huevos rancheros using this product instead of Trader Joe's more expensive version. I tweeked the recipe a bit to make it more healthy and I will post a photo and recipe the next time I make it! Stay tuned!
