First Time Working From Home? Here Are Some Helpful Tips

Working from home for the first time? Well, I’m somewhat of an expert. Luckily, our staff works from home, so I’m well-versed on the ins and outs of what it takes to successfully work from home. If you’ve never worked from home before, it can be challenge getting started — especially because, in the beginning, it feels like it’s just another day off. You forget you’re “at work” and it’s just too easy to sleep in, watch TV or get distracted by just about anything. [Read more…] about First Time Working From Home? Here Are Some Helpful Tips

6 Wild Ways to Save On Denver Zoo Admission

The Denver Zoo is the best place in town for a wild day of family fun and adventure. With so many wonderful exhibits and creatures, there is much to do, see and learn for all ages. However, the popular attraction is not known for offering many discounts.

As a result, it can be an expensive journey for many. For a family of four, the cost can be as high as $80 for daytime admission, during the summer months. Our cheap “safari guides” tracked down a few wild ways to save money at the ticket booth. [Read more…] about 6 Wild Ways to Save On Denver Zoo Admission

King Soopers: Free Friday Download Update

Much to the dismay of many bargain hunters, King Soopers changed its popular FREE Friday Download last year. The weekly offer seemed to just disappear and, then, randomly show up with no consistency or schedule. It was frustrating for many who counted on the weekly freebie. The ride was good while it lasted, with so many grocery items at no cost. For value-conscious shoppers, it doesn’t get much better than FREE.

Sonic Drive-In: 50% Off Shakes After 8pm

Bryan Blathers: Are There More Than Just Sale Signs In The World?

No one really cares about my beliefs and I totally get it. Religion and spiritual beliefs are such a personal touchstone for each of us that, in truth, it really only matters to you. Whatever brings you comfort and peace belongs only to you, so I’m not going to babble about how I think it all works. (As is true for most of us, I have no idea. The best quote I’ve heard about life is from the late author Michelle McNamara, “It’s chaos. Be kind.” It’s a rule I try to follow. However, some days, it’s a struggle, when you encounter so many rude people in the world.) [Read more…] about Bryan Blathers: Are There More Than Just Sale Signs In The World?
