I received the following in my email yesterday. Even if I hadn't already received my refund in March I don't think I would have fallen for this. The sad thing is there probably are people out there who are stupid enough to get scammed by an email like this.

So far the grocery challenge is going well. Of course, this is only the fourth day. I have hit one snag though. The grocery store where I performed the mystery shop only had skim milk in one gallon sizes. I can't drink a whole gallon of milk before it goes ...

After having someone post a link to one of my posts on Frugal Village, I browsed the forums there. I noticed they had a grocery challenge which had a similar concept to the food budget portion of my one month challenge. Since I've once again started eating too much and ...

I kept track of all money spent in February as part of the One Month Challenge. This wasn't much of a problem for me because I normally track all my spending. That is one thing I picked up from the book "Your Money or Your Life". Here is what I ...
