TIPS THIS WEEK

RENTING YOUR RV for a short term is a great idea. This suggestion came through in my Google RV Alert today. Raymond Brody, owner of Camper's Corner in Madison, Tennessee had a request to provide more than 100 RVs for staff and guests of an upcoming event. To accommodate this request, he asked his customers to bring in their RV’s that were in storage for the duration of the festival – he promised to pay each owner from $750. to $1000 to use their units – easy money for everyone. He met the request with super success. Maybe more dealers will think this way in the future.

Patti shared - Effective mid Feb, all Verizon/Alltel phones are considered MOBILE TO MOBILE. That means any one with either service will not be charged minutes when calling each other.

Carolyn passed on the fact that… ‘COCOA MULCH’ is being sold in many stores because of the pleasant smell it gives off. Some brands are promoted to be safe for all pets plus many animals will not go near it. However some packages have no such warning. At least one dog has died from ingesting it. Just be aware that chocolate is lethal to dogs and cats. Since it smells like inviting chocolate they may be enticed to eat some. I edited a long email to highlight this but if using mulch applies to you, read this entire story HERE

Adrienne Kristine of RV Travel.com created a PERMANENT GROCERY LIST. (edited for space)… When she shops, she buys many of the same things each week. So she made a list of standard purchases and laminated it for reuse at Kinko’s/Fed Ex etc. With an erasable marker she checks off each item she needs throughout the week - while shopping she simply wipes off the mark as she puts the item in her cart. This ways she doesn't forget anything and her reusable lists lasts indefinitely.
