I've passed by the Oroweat Bakery Outlet at 222 Oak St. many times and not given it much thought. Saturday, I was curious.
I ended up spending $7.27 and walked out with four items that would have cost at least $16.50 elsewhere, according to my price checks. (One item was the raspberry danish...

Last night I bought three winter dresses for the grand total of $16.09 with tax.
They were originally tagged for $89, $99 and $109, although I would have waited until they went on sale for about $45 each or done without.

The last time I said anything about IHOP, a bunch of bloggers protested, saying they don't like the food. Fair enough.
When you're looking for inexpensive breakfast — say with a large group or a family — it can be a great deal. And right now the Rosedale Highway location and the one...

McDonald's is selling 42-ounce sodas for 69 cents.
(For those of you pinching every penny, that's 74 cents with tax in metro Bakersfield.)

I've never known much about 99 cent (or dollar) stores.
But today as I ate my boring lunch, a colleague basically told me I really haven't lived until I have taken some serious time to stroll the aisles of 99 cent stores. (Whatever. He says stuff like this.)
OK. Fine. What do they have that I...

JCPenney is having a big sale in the women's department. I just bought myself $400 worth of clothes for $200. Most items are Buy 1, Get 1 free meaning it's a great time to stock up on the basics.
