It’s getting cold. There is one chore every driver ends up putting up with that they tend to hate in the winter, especially if you are not in New Jersey. That is pumping gas.     My Golden Girls Sophia is coming out- Picture this “Winter 2022 it’s 10 degrees, it’s so cold I saw chickens lining up at KFC for their turn at the deep fryer.” When it’s that cold, everyone hates pumping gas, there’s not one good way to do it that doesn’t involve you freezing your tuckus off.

Now you could go to AutoZone, or some places they will read the code sometimes for free, tell you about the most common fixes for any car make and model with that code, and they will promptly sell you whatever parts they can talk you into buying.

I have been battling how to use funds off these VISA and Mastercard giftcards that we get for rebates, and I knows that the customers have too, which have made the giftcard rebates unattractive to receive. After alot of research and alot of trial and error, I have found a good way to use them that has not added to my belt line and have had success with it. You will need an Amazon account. Below is the list of steps I use. Step #1 - Gather all these cards Check and make expiration dates are still good. You are going to call the number on the back and run through the prompts to find out the balance on the card. I reccommend writing the balance on the back. Step #2 - Go to Amazon.com Once you are on Amazon go to your account page. On your account page you will see the option for Gi ... read more
