Money Saving Tips
Does shopping at the Commissary really save you money? My answer, it depends. From my experience as a 11 year military wife, it depends on the state you live in, the surrounding areas, and the time at which you shop.
If the cost of living is higher where you are stationed, then the Commissary is always the place to go. If the nearest grocery store is 25 minutes away from post, then the Commissary is cheaper after you factor in gas, etc.. To each its own, but here are my personal tips for saving at the Commissary:

Saving money at the grocery store can seem like a huge task. You've gotta clip and organize coupons, plan out your trip and then hit the ground running at the store and the check-out counter. But it doesn't have to be too difficult to save at least 50% at the store. With these little-known tips, you're sure to save some money, and it won't take you a whole lot of prep time to do it!
1. Look for those "buy one get one free" deals. When something is on sale for buy one get one free, you're automatically saving 50% on your items. And at some stores, each item rings up half price, so you only have to buy one to get the discount!

Mother's Day is this Sunday and it isn't too late too find the perfect gift and not break the bank. Moms just want to feel appreciated and celebrated for all they do.
Moms love personalized gifts. One great idea is to head to your local craft store and get a stepping stone kit. Have the kids put in their handprints and add Happy Mother's Day and then the year. Most kits include some gems and other decorations too. This makes a great memento and will make any mom smile. This will help her remember a special Mother's Day each time she sees it. You could even make one every few years and make a little path. You will be amazed how fast those little handprints become big.

Summertime is nearly upon us, and for most folks that means travel. Whether you're packing up the minivan for a cross-country road trip or hopping a flight to visit far-flung family, you'll want to throw a few key tech tools into your bag.
MyCharge Peak 6000
The last thing you need during a trip is for your phone or tablet to run out of juice. The MyCharge Peak 6000 is a portable power supply with built-in connectors for the most common gear—and a USB port for the less-common stuff.
The half-pound Peak packs enough mobile power to charge not only small devices like phones and Bluetooth headsets, but also larger tablets like the iPad. I've been using one for months, and it has quickly become my most indispensable travel accessory. Read
my original review if you want to learn more.
The Peak 6000 lists for $99.99, but
AT&T currently has it on sale for $69 shipped.
