Money Money Money. Savings Tips?

Lately I have been infatuated with Money! Those that know me...well know that I wasn't always so good with it. Lately I have been crazy about being financially stable. Everything I buy now I am analyzing. Is this something I need? Or is it something I want (More often then not if you take a minute to think, you DON'T need it) My days of shopping at Costco are over (Buying in bulk as a single person can lead to a lot of waste, especially fresh produce). Unless there is some crazy deal, I am looking over flyers and making the right grocery store choice. Between Food Basics and Zehrs I should easily be able to find the best deals weekly and they are both very close to my condo. The most crazy thing I find myself doing...finding the deals before they happen. More specifically at Zehrs, there is specific things that I will take note on expiry. I will make sure I go a few days before this point and more often than not there is 30-50% stickers placed on these items. It may sound cra...

Beer, Steak, and Bok Choy

I had an urger for beer, and good food for my Sunday night feast. I started it all off with a little visit to Royal City Brewing. A very new micro brewery in Guelph as of June this year. I just happened to stumble upon this place on my journey to Kamil Juices which is in the same plaza. This place had my attention, although at first I wasn't sure if this was a brew it yourself type of deal or an actual full on brewery. You can check them out at www.royalcitybrew.ca sadly they don't have much info on their site, which unfortunately still left me somewhat in the dark. I made the journey and found out they have a great little brewery. On tap is a ton of selections that would make any micro brew advocates mouth water. They had me as soon as I walked in the door. A big wall of taps that had an amazing picture of downtown Guelph that was surely over  40 years old. From an IPA to a good stout they had it all. I was intrigued by the selection that was absolutely fantastic. I had ...

Batteries that charge in minutes? Yep, and it's pretty awesome

With today's technology advancing at such a fast rate, there has been one thing left in the past... Sure there has been minor updates to batteries, but these things have been around for ages. Put into perspective the cell phone and how advanced they have become in such a short time. The iPhone first launched in the United States in June 2007. It's hard to believe that was just over 7 years ago.... We have hit a time where smartphone screens are pushing 1080P, and even 4k! The internal specs are simply astounding, an octa-core in a phone? Who would have ever thought. With all the advancements it has pushed the battery to it's limits. I would have to say the single most complained about thing on a phone these days? Battery life. They are always trying to push the limits on phones these days, and at the same time trying to cram in the largest battery they can into the ever slimming devices. There are a few phones that will last all day with fairly heavy usage, but those...
