How Cheap Am I?

I am so cheap that if I go back to the restaurant I ate at last weekend I am bringing a plate and a piece of glassware with a lid!

The restaurant I ate at last weekend was really good.  I have eaten there a couple of times before, and it is always delicious food.

But while looking at the menu I saw that they charge 25¢ for a to-go box!  I have never ever heard of that!  

 And they charge $1.00 for an extra plate so you can split a meal! 
I can kind of understand the to-go box fee, they have to pay for the box after all, but the plate fee is ridiculous.  It doesn't cost them any more money if you split a meal, they are just being greedy.

Would you pay for these new (to me at least) fees?

    Wow, that's a first for me hearing of the fee for an extra plate. Not quite sure I understand the concept behind that except to get extra money.

      Exactly! There is no reason at all, its the same amount of food and washing one dish doesn't cost anything!

      I should write to them and complain, but I hate doing that when I like the food... plus they are a tiny little independent restaurant, which makes me even more hesitant to complain.

Comfy Joey Wool Sling Review and Giveaway

Did you enter to win the $25 Comfy Joey voucher and lose?  Well, GREAT NEWS!  Comfy Joey is amazingly generous and I am able to offer not one, but TWO more vouchers!  Along with the Dolly Sling, I was also given a Newborn Wool Sling .  I was super excited when I got the sling in the mail.  I love baby-wearing , and trying out new carriers is always fun. The Newborn Wool Slings are for use between birth and 25lbs.  Miss Baby is 25 lbs. so she is right at the top of the weight limit (they are safe up to 30 lbs. 25lbs. is for comfort).  It is a handwash in cold water item and should be air dried.  This sling is so cozy and cuddly that I have not gotten a chance to use it very much, because we have had a quite warm summer.  It is a grey, tan, and cream houndstooth with silver rings, which means it matches everything you could possibly want to wear it with.  The sling is very well made, and the rails are pretty easy to adjust. ...

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...
