I agree with a lot of what you wrote here. I guess this article is geared towards those who must pay out of pocket for everything and have the ability to keep track of multiple medications. This is certainly not a great tip for the elderly, where polypharmacy is frankly too much of an issue.

Be careful with the soups, though, as most canned soups you get in stores have an extraordinary amount of salt.

YES! Just this past week, I had to complete an online training module and it would not work with Firefox. It referenced Netscape Navigator, and also suggested that if I were connecting using AOL, I should close that and reopen the page in IE5. I was stunned. It also suggested my computer have a minimum of a 56k…

I am sorry that you felt so insulted, but it's obvious from your choice of words and apparent tone that you're very immature and do not really care to learn about the topic of the article.

Please note that honing and sharpening are not the same thing. I believe you are actually referencing a honing steel, which does not "sharpen" a knife per se, which is what this article is describing. Many people do not understand the difference, but the two processes accomplish two very different things, despite both…

Yes, I hope more people realize this. Many of the comments here fail to recognize the difference, and are drawing improper conclusions and making incorrect recommendations.

One-stop shopping is ideal, but competition is a good thing and we should hope that stores stay competitive.

The 1% always applies. It is the 5% bonus categories that you are required to sign up for each quarter. Whether you sign up for that or not, the 1% is still in effect. Just wanted to clarify this.

Thank you for the interesting find. It appears to be conducted by volunteers (and you can volunteer yourself to help your community), which means it comes with it's pros and cons. A little disclaimer they include:

I had a similar mindset going into this article, but I think I understand it now. You just need to change your perspective when you read and consider this kind of thing. This is not for people who simply want to relax and take a vacation to Place X and save some money. This is for people who want to essentially travel…

I find this to be somewhat misleading. The graphic primarily supports the idea that individuals who are multilingual, are willing to work abroad, and have an understanding of international issues are more desirable to hire. This is all true, but I do not necessarily believe that studying abroad is equivalent with…

The author looks like she made at least 20. Prepare the caravan! We're crossing the desert!

These replies just make me laugh. Thank you for the interesting and helpful share, Jason. Sounds like some people here never lived in a situation where this would be useful, but some of us (myself included) immediately see the relevance and helpfulness of such a thing.

Items are delivered in boxes, but they reduced the number of boxes via consolidation several months or years ago, so I don't know how it compares to when you last used them. As for being wasteful, that's up to you to decide. If you can't use boxes, then they serve no purpose, just as some people probably have no use…

Methinks Mr. Galloway got a little too excited and exaggerated a bit.

It depends on how you use your browser. If you only have open tabs that you're actively using, then you wouldn't need the feature so much. On the other hand, here are some reasons it might be useful:

This is a nifty idea.

I have mixed feelings about the version number issue, but I think it's relatively benign. On the one hand, I agree that it seems foolish to pump out new whole numbers when there isn't necessarily a very significant change involved (as it used to be). On the other hand, I think version numbers are somewhat of an…

Just as a short addendum to the OTC medications discussion: make sure that you're buying the generic form of the brand name medication, and not something else like a homeopathic medication that has similar packaging. In some locations, homeopathic medications are being placed right beside the brand name and generic…

U.S. healthcare is so expensive because we ask/expect too much of it. Aside from the administrative costs alone, everyone wants to use the new technology all of the time. Doctors don't want to get called out for missing something, so they'll order all possible tests. All of these things add up to a lot of costs that…
