fighting the lack of good ideas
Not merely saving money, but it’s also healthier. I’ve been eating dominantly at home – either mine or friends’ places – and have noticed that not only is each meal less expensive, but I can eat better food, too. Don’t get me wrong, those McDonald’s breakfast burritos are awesome. They’re also 300 calories a pop…
Last year I went to the Beer and Bourbon Festival at Koka Booth in Cary. My buddy Jeremy and I had an absolute blast. They’re bringing it back this year in August again, and I’m planning to go again. There are some other shows before and after in the southeast, but the one in Cary…
