GOOD advice JANE,
But I have an esophagus problem from taking fosomax and have to have
my esophagus widened every two years now and the only thing that
makes food go down is carbination.
However, there is good news for people who like soda
Publix sells at 3 large bottles for 2.00 a water with 3 different
non sugar flavors that are carbinated.
SO no sugar and nothing bad for me, but I actually think I’m drinking
soda. Got used to it really quick.
Now I have one six pack of coke a month and I share that with hubby.
If it’s hard to give up some of you could try that for awhile.
Soda IS hard on your teeth AND it is very very fattening.
I lost 20 lbs when I switched. That part I wasn’t happy about tho. lol

Please, stop drinking so many sodas! They are expensive and I see so many people with bad teeth from drinking sodas. Water is so inexpensive and it is good for you and helps keep your mouth and teeth healthy! I limit myself to 2 sodas per week, and then I brush my teeth with iso active toothpaste to get rid of the acid and sugar that coat my teeth afterward! Save your teeth AND your money!!

good for you angie,
Coupon.com does the same thing. Just don’t buy any produce or vegies
if you can get them local.
THANKS

I started going to couponmom.com and printing out all of my coupons. Go to publix on 9mile road and they double them. I have been saving about 50-70% depending on how good the sales are.

Art,
May I make one suggestion to you. I love your advice to people. You are
great with the up to date advice like the GREEN on the garbage idea.
GREAT ADVICE BUDDY.
The only add I would make to this one is in many and even most areas
that you would use bleach it would be more economical and safer to
use hydrogen peroxide. It will CLEAN and DISSENFECT and it doesn’t
have acid so it won’t eat a hole in things. YOU CAN POOR IT RIGHT ON
YOUR HAND OR YOUR CLOTHES and you can still dilute it for big jobs.

China the new frontier! Yeah right!! It’s called politics anyway you put it. The corn we are shipping over there should have been processed here there are many other products done the same way. In fact the Government needs to start holding back on some of the corn as we are headed into a shortage of corn because they are shipping it all out of country and making additives to gasolines. We are about to experience spikes in food prices because they are shorting our supplies. They need to stop it.

Why would anyone buy anything from China? Remember in 2007
& 2009 when Chinese Melamine killed & sickened 1,000’s of dogs & cats in this country, when I pick it up if it’s ” made in China”, I put it back!

Here’s a good one for you. I read the other day that we ship millions of tons of corn to China. They process the corn and sell it back to us at a high price. What’s going on here? You mean to tell me that we cannot process the corn here and keep the price down. Well that’s “free market” for you..

Agree with everyone about buying local!
I’ve even seen honey from China and orange juice. Can’t we feed ourselves? I’m being careful now with reading labels with things we can’t grow locally like rice. I’ve found, ironically, China Doll brand is grown in the US, while many others are from overseas. That’s just one example.
