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?

  1. 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.

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

  2. Where's that restaurant?! I want to complain! ;)

    1. 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.

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Is Mother Goose Time Worth The Money?

Last night my husband asked me if I thought that Mother Goose Time was worth the money if I didn't get it for free.  I think this is an excellent question, and one that people probably want to know. How Much Does It Cost?: Mother Goose Time costs $75 a month for one child, including shipping if you buy it month to month.  If you can order and pre-pay ahead of time, you can save up to 15%, depending on how far ahead you pre-pay.  If you have more than one child using the curriculum it is only about $5 a month to add a child.  Many of the products provided cover the entire class, including manipulatives and story books.  The things that each child needs come packaged in their own bag for each child. What I Think of the Curriculum: The curriculum is great.  It is thorough and engaging.  It provides me with ideas and supplies to teach my son things I never would have thought to teach him, but will make him a very well rounded person.  He now talks about things he never would ha
