It is the flu season once again and of course we want ourselves and our family to stay healthy. One of the best ways to do so is by having a flu shot. Where do you find a clinic that administers one? Here comes the flu shot locator.

This locator is not an electronic device. It is simply a website (or websites) to help us find clinics that administer the flu shot. You just type in your zip code, desired radius and preferred time and the website will show you data that you are looking for.

Here are 2 sites offering such service:

What is an acne pillowcase? I honestly do not know. However, this phrase seems popular in the internet right now. I hope its not a pillowcase full of acne! But we can certainly relate acne to pillowcases. How?

According to dermatologists and allergists, clean pillowcases can help prevent the spread of Acne Facial Blemishes and Acne Flares. In other words, if you do not want to aggravate your current acne, make sure you use a clean pillowcase every night.

It seems the “clunker” mania is not ending yet. Now, after the Cash for Clunkers program, the government is introducing another…for the kitchen. Many call it the Cash for Kitchen Clunkers program but some call it the Cash for Old Appliance program. Whatever the name of the program is, it all works the same.

The concept is the same with the original CARS program. Drop your old appliance for a new one and the government will reward you with rebates. It’s a win-win-win situation. Consumers get new appliances for a rebate, dealers make more sales and the government has done their part to stimulate the economy and at the same time help save the environment!

On the other hand, do not expect that this program will be a smashing success as the CARS program. Though it will definitely help, this program is not expected to be a “smash hit”. It is said that the maximum rebates would revolve around $200.

How effective this program would be remains to be seen. But it is definitely good to see that something is being done to revive the economy back to health via this Cash for Kitchen Clankers program.

With the recession blues and holes in our pocket, is it wise to go out for shopping? According to several reports, it seems so. Why? Because stores are offering bigger than normal discounts this labor day weekend. Let us face it, whether the economy is down or not, life must go on and so does our need for material things. So what better time to buy the things we need than this coming labor day sales weekend?

This does not mean we should spend carelessly. We should have a budget set aside like we do before ( I assume you do… ). So if you only have a $500 budget then so be it. Discipline yourself to only spend $500 this coming weekend. Good news is you know that the $500 is well spent since you’ll be able to buy more with less.
