Great article! I had pet insurance for a while, and I had a lot of these problems you mentioned. I only found out three years into my policy that Bruno (my collie) wasn’t going to be covered for his hip dysplasia surgery. They called it a pre-existing condition. I paid over $2,000 for that little cutie!
They also made me meet a yearly deductible of $500, which I only hit two out of three years, so one year was just a complete loos of premiums…
Recently my sister told me she uses a company called “Pet Assure” which basically is more of a discount program than actual insurance; like they’ll only pay 25% of your bill (as opposed to say, 80%), but the premiums are only about 8 bucks a month, and they have no exclusions for preexisting etc. I ended up signing, I saved about $100 so far, I’ve only paid out less than $30 in premiums… might be a good option to check into.
Thanks!

[...] Maybe Mom would like a night out, buy a gift card to the movie theater or tickets from Goldstar. [...]

Reuse,recycle and store seem to be trendy things to do these days but often gets overlooked is it just makes sense!

Personally I try to keep a set of containers for fridge organising as it keeps things fresher but also stops unwanted odours from some foods tainting others.

They do all come from a central kitchen. Sorry you had a bad experience. I’ve had very good luck with the prepared meals.

I completely agree with you about the pitfalls of sales. Everyone has something that is sitting in there closet that has never seen the light of day.

I remember when I was 16 I bought this white tube top with gold trim for $9.99. It seemed like a great purchase at the time; however, I don’t have anything to with it. Alas, I was duped and the store made a profit.

Today, I’ve learned to be more careful with items on sale
