Try something new... - 06/26/08 12:22 PM
I wanted to let everyone know that a favorite local establishment, the Austin Grill, has opened a new grab-and-go restaurant in downtown Fairfax. It's apparently been open for a few months, I don't know how I missed it! It's the Austin Grill Custom Burrito Shop and is located at 3955 Chain Bridge Road. Check out their menu at www.austingrill.com. They are going for a similiar concept to Chipotle. Another notable point is the location is run on green energy.

Changing Daily - Interest Rates - 06/26/08 11:56 AM
Interest Rates Change Daily
Interest rates change constantly, but it is important to know that rates are cyclical. If rates are currently at historical lows then we know there is a strong probability rates will go up again, and vice versa. Certain economic indicators such as unemployment data, consumer price index, retail sales data, and consumer confidence all have an effect on mortgage interest rates. But the key factor to watch is the relationship between stocks and bonds.When the economy is slow and the stock market is "bearish," many investors move money out of stocks and into bonds and mortgage-backed securities. … (1 comments)

Money Saving Tips - 06/24/08 10:37 AM
TIME FOR A CHANGE...OR NOT?
The rising cost of crude oil has everyone talking about gas prices at the pump... but what about the actual oil in your engine? Are you spending too much on oil by changing it too often?
Most of us probably think a car's oil needs to be changed every 3,000 miles. But that's an old mechanics tale these days. Did you know that many car manuals now actually recommend changing the oil every 5,000, 7,500 or even 10,000 miles? That means you may be changing your oil twice or even three times as often as you … (0 comments)

Summer Food Safety Tips
Summer-time is one of the best times of year to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those that aren't available year-round. But recent salmonella outbreaks like those in last year's spinach crops or this year's tomato crops are an important reminder about handling food properly.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) notes that there is no way for consumers to detect salmonella since it can't be smelled, tasted, or seen. Here's what they recommend to reduce the risk of exposure during this latest outbreak:

Ease the stress of moving - 06/09/08 12:12 PM
Moving can be very exciting...but it can also be a bit of a pain as well. Besides packing and unpacking, there is a long list of details to be handled. Things like choosing a mover, connecting utilities, getting Internet and cable service, or subscribing to newspapers or magazines in a new area can be quite a chore. And if you forget to connect one of the utilities you could be stuck in your new home for several days without that much needed service. To ease the stress of moving and schedule new connections for all of the utilities in one convenient … (0 comments)

Retailers Looking For Some "Stimulus"... - 06/02/08 11:24 AM
According to a recent poll on how consumers intend to spend their stimulus checks, 19% of consumers plan on using their economic stimulus check for a special purchase, and 23% plan to use their check for everyday expenses. The rest...well, 36% say they will pay down debt and 22% say they will put it into savings. But will the check burn a hole through their pockets?
Maybe so, particularly with the "stimulus check" specials that many retailers have come up with, offering bonuses and incentives for people who spend their "stimulus" dollars with them. Here are some examples, in case you … (0 comments)
