Guest Post: Ivan Shreve and the Elusive Bacon-Wrapped Scallop
I'm sure that it doesn't take reader's long to figure out that I like Publix. It is my favorite place to grocery shop! And it seems that I am in good company...
A long time friend, and the writer of a blog called "Thrilling Days of Yesteryear", shares my love for Publix. Ivan (not so) recently shared his quest to redeem a rain check for bacon-wrapped scallops. I loved the story and intended to link it to this blog, but as it generally does, life obligation's got in the way and soon the story slipped my mind.
I was recently reminded of Ivan's Publix adventure. With a little digging around (very little really), I found Ivan's post. I hope you find it as funny as I did both times I read it...
Two weeks ago, the friendly relationship between me and the popular grocery chain experienced a brief rift....more

The Half-Assed Gourmand #8: In pursuit of the elusive Bacon-Wrapped Scallop
I’m sure it hasn’t escaped anyone’s attention that I often have a tendency to discuss the weekly pilgrimages to Publix I make in the company of my mother; she does about 95% of her shopping there because she became a fan of the outfit when they first opened up a store in Savannah, GA and has been a regular customer ever since. Speaking only for myself, I honestly have no allegiance to any grocery store in particular—but for the most part my weekly trips to Publix are always pleasurable, and most of the people that work there know both me and my mother by now…you know the old TV saw about going “where everybody knows your name.”
Two weeks ago, the friendly relationship between me and the popular grocery chain experienced a brief rift....more

How to Buy Nothing
I stumbled across this article on WikiHow yesterday, and thought it would make a great addition to Practical Cents. There is so good advice on ways to keep from spending more money that you should - something we all need to try to do with the fast approaching holidays!
For the full article and all 21 steps plus tips and a warning, go to http://www.wikihow.com/Buy-Nothing.
How to Buy Nothing
In O. Henry's classic Christmas story The Gift of the Magi, Della Young sells her most prized possession, her long, beautiful hair, in order to buy her husband, Jim, a Christmas present. The present she chooses is a chain for Jim's heirloom pocket watch, the only valuable thing he owns. When she presents her gift to Jim, she discovers that he has sold his watch in order to buy a set of ornate combs for her beautiful locks. Is there a lesson in here for us? The lesson is you don't have to buy anything to be happy.
Here's how to resist the urge to splurge:
1. Examine your spending habits. Are your buying decisions motivated by your own values or by advertisements? Don't be influenced by consumerism and an obsession with spending.
2. Stay home. If you don't need to shop, don't go shopping simply because you are bored. Don't use shopping as a recreation or amusement.
3. Leave the money at home. The easiest way to not buy anything is simply not to take any cash, checks, debit cards, or credit cards with you when you go out. At most, take a small amount of cash with you for emergencies.
4. Avoid plastic. Try putting your credit card in a container with some water and freezing it. That way you have it for holidays and emergencies but not just to go buy stuff. Or, better yet, give it to a relative you can trust.
