The Infinite Game $ Score Sheet reposted by Ruth Paget

I saw The Infinite Game advertised on Amazon recently and thought of little game to do using a small daily calendar.

In this calendar you note $+ or $- for money saved during the day and money spent during the day.

At the end of each month, you total what you saved and spent and then do this for the year.

This information lets you see where you are losing money that you could be saving instead.

The Infinite Game book information follows for interested readers:

Electric Egg Cooker reposted by Ruth Paget

When I lived in Stuttgart (Germany), I used an electric egg cooker to make hard-boiled egg slices to go on salads with smoked salmon slices.  I loved eating that salad in winter.

Electrical egg cookers use very little water.  They steam eggs and can cook them to varying degrees of doneness that you select before turning the cooker on.

If you eat and like boiled eggs, an electric egg cooker like the following one might be of interest to you:

The $39 price today (10-10-2026) is very affordable.

I though the price was very reasonable on the following French press coffee maker from Amazon:

Starbucks Cocoa by Ruth Paget

Hot Cocoa for Fundraising by Ruth Paget

I learned when doing high school bake sale fundraisers in Detroit, Michigan that you can make rich cocoa like Starbucks with just water.

Chocolate has some antioxidants and can fill you up with a pastry.

The club sponsors bought the first batch of hot cocoa.  The clubs paid them back from profits and had enough money to buy cocoa after the first sale to be self-sustaining.

I like Starbucks cocoa and have provided a link for it to give an idea for budgeting and bake sale item pricing:
