Dual Purpose

I spend way too much time researching things. When I'm at the store, I can spend 10 minutes deciding among multiple variations of essentially the same item. If you've never pulled out your calculator to figure out which pack of toilet paper offers the best deal per square inch, you won't understand. And that's ok; my closest friends have kindly explained to me that I'm a freak, so I'm aware that you're the normal one, and that I'm the odd one. I'm learning to accept that (much to the dismay of my aforementioned friends, who have done everything short of an intervention to convince me to change).

My hope is that I can share some ideas with you that will help you save money, and help make your life easier. That's the dual purpose of this blog. And please do me a favor--even if you don't find the information useful, at least pretend that you did. I already have my friends and family telling me I'm wasting my time; if strangers start agreeing, I won't know what to do.
