My Sam’s carries such a brand called Sarah Farms which is almost as good (tasting) as my beloved [...]

That expression has always made me cringe; it’s something my dad likes to say. It applies to us though. We spent two years paying $1825 per month in rent (and $1400 per month the two years prior to that) and we knew that had to be reduced. We were able to buy a house with [...]
