Review - The Grocery game

My wife and i try to cook in all the time to reduce eating out. So i searched the net to find out where i can see the comparison about different grocery stores, i stumbled upon thegrocerygame.com site

what they do: they give you a list of stores near your zip code and compare with newspaper coupons to give you compared list

How much : I think they are $15 to start

Pros: New concept for me
Useful for a large family
cons: I did not see a store which is just in front of my house
I am not using as much to justify $15

i am not afiliated to thegrocerygame.com. I am just an user who write stuf....

Review - Sunrocket - Step 2

I enrolled to sunrocket for the past 2 months, it is good to call canada and to know my phone is paid for a year
Pros:
Call canada
Bill paid for a year
Sound quality is ok

cons:
Sometimes i can hear myself ( echo - i am not taking any drugs )
I am trying to transfer my old phone number it has been 2 months now.
Reason: my phone company is not in the transfer list page
Sunrocket did not get my faxed sheet
Resolution: i need to escalate the call to escalation team and now it is in process

I will keep posting my next step in a month about sunrocket

Fence - Part II

Fencing around my house is done. I chosse Lowes do to my fencing
Reason :
1. Cheaper than Home depot by 800$
2. They accepted my 10% off coupon for materials

So now i need to plan to sell or rent my wife's house....

What you need to look for reducing fecost?
1. Do you really need fence?
2. Can you connect with next door neighbour
3. Get estimate from 3 sources Lowes, Home Depot and local fencing guy
4. Use any 10% off coupons
5. I am totall against credit.. but if you are good in repaying the money check for any 12 month 0% plan..
