It's mani-pedi time; even in chillier weather, women feel better when their feet look good. Coral colors are popular right now, but I still like a good dark, almost black shade, on my toes. The woman next to me tells her nail technician, "I want the brightest coral your have." This nail and beauty bar has an extensive menu handed to each woman, as she dips he feet into tubs full of warm, soothing water. The options range from the express mani-pedi, to a hydro masque that includes a minty mud spread to hydrate lower legs and feet, used with heated booties, and removed with scented warm towels. The price difference is extravagant, and if you think about it this extra service just really is some thick lotion, warm towels, and a technicians time. But, women pay for it; the lady next to me is having a masque brushed on right now. I'm opting for the express service, and hoping it times out properly so I can get my kid to her rehearsal in 30 minutes.

Her grocery bill is a weekly surprise.
Here are some tips to get the most bang for her buck:
Pre-bagged onions, oranges, and potatoes are cheaper than bought separately. Frozen fish is cheaper than fresh (which was probably previously frozen anyway).
Buy in bulk (just do it)
Paper and cleaning products are cheaper other places.
Figure out the products cost per unit, which is listed on the shelf sticker right next to the price.MISCELLANEOUS
