Instructions:

1. Each week, people post notes that share little lessons or observations from everyday life.
2. Others read these notes and then share their own stories.
3. Word spreads, stories are shared, and we all enjoy "the little things" that life has to offer.

Post a story!

What's in a name?

I'm frugal. I'll admit it. Some might even say I'm "tight with a dollar". I like to think I'm just efficient with my money. Call it what you want. But thanks to my fiscal practices I have discovered the wonderful world of generic brand groceries. You get the same quality as name brand for a fraction of the price. It's gotten to the point where the Target brand is second-nature in my kitchen cabinets. But as great as the private labels have been to me, there is one ailse where I refuse to go generic-- cereal. Call me crazy but I'm just not buying that "Honey Oat Clusters" tastes the same as Honey Bunches of Oats.

Lesson learned: If breakfast is the most important meal of the day why take any chances.

Yeah I disagree. I don't mind store brand items like paper towels or trash bags. But when it comes to food I won't compromise.
