grammpaula I save my change until I have enough to roll and then I deposit in the bank to help with my bills. Every penny adds up. I have a deposit ready to take to the bank in the morning. I don't use coinstar because I hate giving money away. I hear you can get gift...

How many of you actually clip or print your coupons, remember to bring them to the store, and use them. I always forget to bring them with me. Or by time I remember I have a coupon for that item, it has expired. But I am going to...

coupons

grammpaula Yes to all the above. I just recently started printing coupons. Our store didn't take them until recently. I have a nice file box that I file all my coupons in and I take it everytime I got shopping. You can really save a lot of money using them. If you are...

grammpaula To be honest I wish they had just said thst Helena drugged Emily and she wasn't really dead & came back to life rather than to have her twin come and cause trouble. It wouldn't be the first time that happened. Some of GH'S story lines are wacky. Why make...

I think Sammi is doing a great job in this story line. She is acting like she really lost her baby. How can EJ act like he's lost so much when he didn't even know the baby. How do you think they are going to finally reveal that...

grammpaula We just had KFC last week. I like the new grilled chicken. It tasted like I just grilled it outside. My husband isn't too happy with their new ordering menu. He said it's very hard to read when ordering from the car. He was also disappointed that they didn't...

grammpaula I really don't like Word Whomp. I haven't played Sudoku Puzzle for a long time. Actually I think the last time I played it was when it was the challenge game a long time ago. I play what ever the challenge game is. Some I like more than others.

grammpaula I used to salt my watermelon when I was younger because that's the way my parents used to eat it. I no longer salt the melon. I don't need any added salt in my diet.

grammpaula I really like pineapple upside down cake. No one else in my family likes it so I don't get it very often if at all. If I could order any kind it would be that kind. If I'm ordering a birthday cake at the bakery I order white cake with white icing.
