Saving Money One Product at a Time

If I Were Single Again

I want to start this post stating, by saying I do not wish to to be single again. I am perfectly happy being married. The whole reason for this title and this subject is what I have heard from young, middle aged. and older people who find themselves without a partner for one reason or the other. I have seen several single people with interesting attitudes toward money, and saving money. I thoug...

Valentine’s Day the Perfect Gift

Valentine's Day is one of those day's we must not forget, or else! Or else a loved one, or mother maybe hurt, disappointed or upset at the very least. We do have help in not forgetting. Television commercials, displays in stores, and email having been reminding me for almost a month. February 14th is Valentines Day, and we should get our loved one some gift. Now we know we got to get our wife...

Beetle or Cooper

This week we have heard reports about gas prices are going up. After hitting a low of close to $3 per gallon for most of January, we are expecting gas prices to start climbing again. With gas prices climbing, the cost of driving our vehicles one mile has started to increase. For those of you who commute any distant to and from work, it will be a big impact on your budget. Like through out mo...

Wonderful World of Trade Shows

Las Vegas is a great place to go for a getaway vacation. It is also know as one of the most popular places to hold a trade show. If you look at the Las Vegas Convention Convention Center there is back to back trade shows. Still for someone like me, who happens to love trade shows, it is not practical for me to spend so much time in Vegas. In fact there is another location where I can go to a tr...

Do I Need Fancy Cleaners?

It is SuperBowl Sunday! There are going to be a lot of living rooms filled with football fans enjoying the big game. There is going to be some emotional highs and lows through out the game. Drinks and food is going to get spilled. Afterwards there will be some cleaning that need to be done. Depending on wild the party gets will depend on how much cleaning will need to be done. In preparation fo...

Gas Mileage Lies

On morning news there was a sniped about a lady who sued Honda for misrepresentation of their gas mileage. It was in small claims court, but still won $10,000. Interesting! It has become pretty much accepted, by all of us, what the sticker gas mileage would be under ideal condition. I am glad someone has stepped up to say, "We are not going to take it anymore!" When I look at different makes...

Touch Screen Desktop Computers

I first saw touch screens computers in the food processing industry back in the late 90's. Since then the technology and the price has been slowly been dropping. As a result we now see more cell phones with touch screens than without. The overall adoption of a touch screen desktop computer has been slow mostly because of the cost. We are seeing the price going under the $1,000 mark. This makes ...

Social Responsible Buying

Last week the name Foxconn and Apple were in all the headlines. It was not about great profits, or some new electronic gadget. It was about the inhumane treatment of the workers in China. What is interesting to note is that Foxconn does not just manufacture electronics for Apple. Foxconn manufacture over 50% of the electronics sold in the United States. Mistreatment of works or labors misbeh...

Secrets of Shopping Wal Mart

Midday on any Saturday or Sunday, at Wal Mart, finds families and couples getting their weekly shopping done. We are at the end of January. People are starting to recover from the Christmas shopping madness. Walking we were greeted by a your 60 oriental lady. I think it is great that Wal Mart seek to find jobs for elderly on fixed incomes. After a quick stop by the cosmetic section for some...

Search for a Practical Usable Tablet

Since before Thanksgiving I have been slowing giving into the idea of getting a tablet. I have looked at all the major brands of tablets and eReaders. I have been trying to imagine how often I would use it. I watch how other people would use their tablets. While attending a local trade show I noticed a large majority of the vendors were using iPads. There were only a few who had other tablets....

Thankful – People

Posted By: The Shopping Nazi on November 26, 2009 in Lifestyle, Thanksgiving - Comments: 2 Comments »

This Thanksgiving Day 2009, I want to take this time and thank all the people in my life who has had a perfound influence. I may not of have listen to them when I should of have, but I can sit right here and say they have had a positive influence on my life. Because of that influence I am very thankful.

Lucile and Everett Cussins Sr. – Mom and dad weren’t very well educated or articulate about how they felt. They love my brother and I. They wanted the best for us. They wanted us to work hard and make the most out of what we have.

John C. Cussins – My brother, who was more like a older brother, in later years. He is the more stable, critical thinker.

Wally and Beverly Walrath – An older couple who opened they home up to a bunch of crazy hippies and teenagers. It was through them many lives were changed.

Steve Hastings – Nicknamed the hitchhiking preacher in the 70′s. He inspired me to travel beyond the world I grew up.

Larry Palm – Quite intelligent, many times I look back and wish I had a life like his.

Ruth Wilson – aka big sister. She seemed to be there when I needed a big sister the most. My only regret was that I was not there when she left this world.

Chris Luck – My best friend. He raced cars, organized events, and confronted me and many issues. We have lost contact over the years. His influence is still there.

Doug Murren – Pastor, and counselor. His weekly sermons always seem to be just what I need to hear. I call them my weekly calibrations, because they help keep on the right path.

Ray Littrell – Best friend, business partner, and fellow media explorer. It is because of Ray I blog, do podcast, and study search engine optimization.

Norma Francs Cussins – My wife, lover, the only person that could settled me down long enough to see what is really important in life.

Ms T – My daughter who is teaching me to be a father.

The Shopping Nazi is not anyone individual. He is the combination of the above people who have learned to save money one product at a time.
