Best Laptop Bang for your Buck!

My hubby is a bit of a computer geek...and a bit of a snob about processors, sound/video cards and such. So, for him to find a computer that he LOVES and adheres to MY BUDGET is unheard of UNTIL NOW!!!

With that said...If you are looking for a good student computer that is powerful enough to play games (fast processor and good video card) THIS is the DEAL of the century!

Acer - Aspire E 15 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 4GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive Model: E5-575-52JF

We bought THREE of them last week on sale at Best Buy for $349 (one for each of the kids). After using them for a week we are VERY impressed!

Frankly, it's not just for students! It's a good computer for ANYONE!

(Hubby adds "It's not a gaming laptop")

The sale is over but at $379 it's still a bargain!

This link http://bit.ly/2bK7Jj5  will bring you to my shopping portal.  If you choose to purchase your laptop through my Shop.com site, I will receive 1% commission on your purchase.  I greatly appreciate your support! 

Skinny Labor Day BBQ Secret!

Ok, so Labor Day isn't just about BBQs but what better way to celebrate us hard working laborers than with a celebratory feast?

But if you're like me this holiday also means worrying about what I can eat and not go off my "diet".

So here's my Skinny Labor Day BBQ Secret:

This is the simplest way I've found to cut calories without cutting the flavor....BBQ 3000 Spice from Penzeys.  It's got all the great flavor that you love without added calories.  

No sugar, no salt - just paprika, black pepper, nutmeg, mustard, allspice, citric acid, garlic powder, ginger, sage, thyme, white pepper, cinnamon and natural smoke flavor.

Plus just in time for the holiday weekend Penzeys is offering FREE BBQ 3000 with a $3 purchase!
