How I Saved Thousands on Groceries in 2016

January 9, 2017 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

2016 proved, with little room for doubt, that I’m hardly an inspiration for those looking to achieve significant life goals.  I am too easily distracted by frivolous diversions such as chocolate, Candy Crush, and laying on the couch.  Three things, I should point out, that are in no way mutually exclusive.  And yet, despite my […]

2016 Resolutions – Final Report

January 3, 2017 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

And like that … (poof) … it’s gone. 2016 did its best Keyser Soze impression and disappeared a couple days ago and with it went the last seconds of my “great” resolution challenge.  I put great in quotes because this challenge ended up being anything but.  Then again, I didn’t forget about these resolutions completely […]

2016 Resolutions – Q2 Report

July 4, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

2016 Resolutions – Q1 Report

April 13, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

There was a time when the adage “time flies when you’re having fun” seemed valid commentary on the circumstances of life.  Now, at 44, it wholly needs to be adjusted to accommodate the fact that time flies simply by my being awake.  On the bright side, this does mean far fewer moments of life wasted […]

Resolution 3 – That Bit About Grocery Bills

January 18, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

3       I will cut our monthly grocery budget in half by the end of the year. Recently I had a humbling experience whilst boasting about the wonders of my cash back Visa card.  I’m a vocal proponent of cash back credit cards and strongly recommend them to anyone with the financial restraint to […]

Curse You Joni Mitchell

September 15, 2015 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Joni Mitchell a legendary Canadian singer-songwriter.  She has influenced countless musicians, both contemporary and current, and written some of the most famous rock/folk songs in history.  Ironically, we all know those songs mostly thanks to cover versions other artists turned into chart toppers.  Okay, that’s a little snippy.  Nonetheless, the point is Joni is a […]
