If you have a complex tax situation involving owning property and securities and a small business, paying for an accountant is imperative, because they can navigate the complex tax laws and rules and maximize your refund. However, if you don’t own a house or anything, tax prep software will do the job just fine and…

Nah, I’ll just stick to shopping as Wegmans as I have for the past decade and getting my food from a store that actually cares deeply about competitive pricing.

Am I the only one who finds the light lager discussion interesting in the light that AB-Inbev is trying super hard again to make commercials for good old Bud that market it as an unpretentious beer that’s just a good drinking pilsner? Just me? OK.

What is your take on “Certified Preowned” programs that dealers run? Since they’re usually a program from the maker and not the dealer itself, does that make it better or worse? I feel like this should be an easy thing, but as someone who is about to embark on a quest for a used car, I’d like some honest opinions on…

I feel like none of this should be surprising. Plenty of movies that have won Best Picture at the Oscars were smaller films that were critical darlings that no one saw. How many people actually saw Moonlight? For better or worse, both “reality” and competition shows, as well as the scripted muck that CBS puts out…

I agree that the voiceover stuff can be hamfisted at times, but I think it’s the compromise the showrunners reached to get through a lot of exposition as quickly as possible. Sometimes they overdo it, but there are a lot of characters and backstory to get through, I guess.

So about Webby. I think the update on her character is good. I don't think she'll just end up being the fourth triplet. I think they are serious about developing her as a character in the mold of "everything you can do, I can do better" and that's perfectly cool for this show. It's easy to look at this in the eyes of…

Coke Zero and Diet Coke taste NOTHING alike. They both use completely different formulations. Diet Coke tastes terrible. Coke Zero at least tastes like regular Coke just with artificial sugar. So much better to drink. Maybe the marketing was a bunch of BS, but Zero is the way better product.

I shop at Wegmans (admittedly they’re a smaller chain), and I find that their store brand soy sauce, cream cheese, and sandwich cookies (affectionately named W O’s) are just as good as their name brand counterparts. The only things I really find there to not compare are ketchup and their canned soups. Oh, and their…

Wegmans is another great example of this. Almost everything I buy from them is private label. In almost all instances, their private label products are as good or better than national brands. The only things I’ve found that don’t compare are their canned soups, boxed macaroni and cheese, and ketchup.

Ahem. The Chemical Brothers were, in many ways, the poster boys of the "big beat" sound. Kind of contradictory if you ask me.

i always liked the 3 parter where they were tricked to going to england to try and end the curse caused by one of al's forefathers (eternal darkness for one village).

Honestly, stuff like this is why I make sure to only get apartments with in unit laundry. I hope to never have to use a laundromat ever again.

I remember a couple of years ago we stayed with a friend who lived in god knows where PA and we were going to a show that night and we stopped to get a six pack — at some pizza restaurant and it cost like double what a sixer does in Jersey. And that was just for beer.

Every store in NJ is like that. I too shop at Woodbridge and going there around lunchtime on a weekend day is bananas. However, it can't be either Woodbridge or Ocean because they can't sell liquor in store. Only Bridgewater and either Manalapan or Princeton (can't remember which) have liquor licenses under the…

Ah, the joys of Bridgewater Wegmans.

the honest truth is that it's a lot harder to find a good slice in most of manhattan these days. a bunch of different chains have gotten into serious competition and the dollar slice is the thing. as a result, quality has nosedived to keep the price in check. there are still bright spots in the darkness, but most of…

I really feel like people want to stick it to Big Red, buuuuuut...

I think this refers strictly to something that came to you directly. If something that was meant for your neighbor comes to you by mistake and you keep it, I believe you are on the wrong side of the law at this point.

The Muir Glen tomatoes are actually not San Marzanos. San Marzano tomatoes are DOP protected (even if that’s not enforced in the states). The real ones cost so much because they’re imported from Italy. I happen to like the Wegmans store brand (most anything they have in store brand is good), but I’d try the RedPack…
