Some great ideas in here.. Thanks! Cheesy

I have a NET10 cell phone, and hardly use it for a phone (mostly music source to helmet). Pay as you go plan, spending $30 every two months. or something like that. Minutes roll over, but you have to buy when days are running out. I got a LOT of minutes stacked up. Data is included and counted as minutes. For what little data the cheap phone will do.

I don't cut my hair (what little is left).
I don't shave ever (I just trim the beard a bit when it gets caught in the helmet strap)
I look like my avatar, only more so.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

28) I make my own pimento cheese spread... with REAL cheese

Is it too much typing to drop a How To?

I dont have any measurements... its just "to satisfaction"

grate some mild chedder .. I think they come 16oz
grate 1/2 as much sharp chedder (extra wang) the rest goes on crackers
buy a tiny jar of Pimentos(drain).. which BTW you can make
add mayo to make the texture you want
add just a tich of yellow mustard
if you need, add a pinch of salt (generally I dont, depends on the cheese)

done...

Maybe I am too cheap........I have my wife put some macaroni in the homemade cheese spread to make it go a bit farther. That way I don't feel so bad if I pile it on too thick! Grin

Someday I will be old......But not today!

Good cheap-ass tips all around, you guys!! Cheesy

I can't really add anything except to agree with a few points. Horse clippers are good. They handle all my hair cutting and goatee trimming duties. I have a straight razor to do the rest of my face, and the sharpening stones to maintain it, so now I don't even buy the 20 cent disposable razors.

The comments on cutting out cable/cell phone charges are also good. Our TV stays off except for the occasional DVD or video game, so no cable or dish bills. My cell phone has no plan.. data or otherwise. I just buy more T-mobile minutes off eBay as needed. Internet access is mooched off a neighbor in exchange for yardwork. The cost of all media & communications works out to about 8 bucks a month.

With the kids starting to eat us out of house & home, the next step is to get a costco membership and start buying food in bulk.

You can live off of them if need be. They are the perfect survival food; just add water. You can cut your food budget by 90% with them.

True enough, but then ya hafta add in the cost of air fresheners.
