This time every year, all kinds of pumpkin flavored food and beverages hit the shelves.  As I walked into Target today, I was hit was a full display of pumpkin food which lead me to believe this year there will be more than ever.  That being said, I couldn't resist trying two new pumpkin spice flavored offerings.

Recently while shopping, the new Lay's Potato Chip flavor caught my eye and I just had to give it a try.  I usually do try the new flavors because they sound good and most of the time I am disappointed.  This time, not so much.

My wife went shopping at Target using her cartwheel app that she loves so much.  She found a deal on an Embark "Insta-up" 8 person tent.  It was cheap with the app, I think she spent only 80 bucks on it.  It normally retails for $135.  Being it was so cheap, I figured it would be garbage, but I went ahead and tried it out this weekend.   After my first experience with it, I can honestly

I was in the grocery store yesterday on my way to the check out when I saw Coke Life.  It caught my eye as it was in a green can.  It said lower calorie Coke.  I thought I would give it a shot as it said it's made with real cane sugar.   It doesn't have any of the high fructose corn syrup crap.

I grew up with a Weber grill.   It's the classic charcoal grill that has been around for decades.  People love them, and I had a hand me down Weber grill that finally broke down a few years back.  As a wedding gift, we got a gas grill.  It did it's job for about 2 years, before it crapped out as well.  It was time to go back the classic, so I started shopping around.  I found myself zeroing in on

In the attempt of trying not to die before 40 I've made some healthier changes lately.  I gave up smoking last year, and then subsequently gained about 15 pounds.   So now in order to try to lose that weight and then some, I decided to start running again for the first time in nearly 7 years.  The problem?  Incredible foot pain.  I've been fighting plantar fasciitiss for months, and couldn't figur

My friend Sandy in FL told me about these Quiet Moments calming treats and swore they worked.  I had looked at the local department stores we frequent and couldn't find it.  I figured I'd have to go to a local pet specialty store, but before we did we were camping and ran across a pet store that had them.  My experience is a review that will lend as a warning.

Last night I ran quickly over to ALDI's in Superior to do some quick discount grocery shopping.   It really is a fantastic way to save money on your budget, and we now do most of our shopping there.  We've been happy with the quality of the products.   One thing I haven't tried yet was the beer there.  I've seen the unrecognizable brand names in the cooler, and I've been afraid to try them.  Last

I've still got a bad taste in my mouth after 'The Walking Dead' season finale.  It just plain stunk.  So I was a little nervous when it came to the finale of one of my other new favorites, 'Better Call Saul.'   Well I breathed a sigh of relief last night after they did a season finale like you should.  Wrap it up, but leave you wanting more.

We love our restaurants in Duluth and we often bring our friends from out of town to these places so they can get the best of Duluth.   But sometimes, out of town people have ridiculous expectations or just "don't get it" when it comes to our favorite places.   Let me set the record straight for these bad reviews.

The season 6 finale of TWD left us on a cliffhanger, as was promised.  But I have a problem with the way they did it and the use of cliffhangers all season long.  In fact, when the credits rolled I, I rolled my eyes not believing that they've done it again.

How many times have you purchased a warranty or were promised a warranty when eventually it didn't pay off?  For me, it's been countless times.  Either the warranty had expired, I didn't have the receipt, or they came up with some other nonsense to void the warranty...
