Bargain Value - July 2011

SAVE ON CAR AIR FILTERS

July 25th 2011 20:56
Every so often we are supposed to change the air filters on our rides.
Like ever 10 or 12 thousand miles or so. They are easy to change.
One thing on automobiles that are still doable in your own driveway
for the fraction of the cost of having a mechanic do it for you.

The ones you get at Walmart and K-Mart are a little cheesy,
but cheap......and you get what you pay for. That's why
you should be replacing them every 10 or 12 thousand miles.

However, there is an alternative to this endless spending cycle.
There's a company out there that offers a ONE MILLION

MILE warranty on it's reusable, washable, air filters.

Yeah, that's right, you read that number correctly: one million
mile warranty. Of course, your ride will never last that long but
it's nice to see a high-quality American made product out there.

I recently bought a K&N air filter for my ride the other day and
I was impressed by the quality construction and off course its
washable qualities. It's going to last me the life of my ride,
that's for sure.

Of course, K&N filters will set you back around US$50 or so,
while a K-Mart special will cost you only around US$11. But,
for my money, the one million mile warranty said "sold" to me.

Plus you know, it helps keep all those old cheesy air filters out
of the waste stream. I'm happy with this purchase.

REDUCED PRICED PRODUCE

July 11th 2011 13:30
Ever notice that when you enter most supermarkets the first thing
you come to is the produce section? Ah yes, everything looks
lovely.....the bacteria-laden water misters are spraying the greens
trucked from hundreds of miles away. Happy canned music is playing.

Boy, makes you feel like buying this pesticide laden over-priced
produce, until you look at the price of course.

Everything except the loss-leader, suck-you-into-their-store, sale
merchandise is greatly marked up in price.

What to do about it? Let's say, for convenience sake you like
shopping at your favorite mega-chain corporate store and don't

have the time to visit farm stands or grow your own produce.

A good first strategy is look for a "reduced price" produce rack,
one where the produce manager is trying to move product out the
door before the stuff spoils.

If your mega-supermarket greedy corporate owned one doesn't
offer a reduced price produce section, ask to speak to the all
powerful "Produce Manager."

Politely ask him or her what they would like to move out the
door that day, and of course a reduced price. Never hurts
to suggest to the corporate-powers-that-current ly-be at your
favorite market that they consider offering a reduced price
produce section.
