Fall Premieres!

Ok, the weekend line-up looks like this:
  • 11:00 p.m. Mad TV..hilarious, but honestly I can not stay up this late anymore! SERIOUSLY! Sad, I know...oh well...
  • 11:35 p.m. Saturday Night Live...Equally hilarious, but definitely not making it for this! Funny thing about SNL..We all watch it at some point...right? But it is like the infamous "mom jeans" with the high waist..once you have kids, you get stuck in a time warp where you are still thinking Dan Aykroyd is on the show and you are still reciting something from one of his skits! So, I would love to watch this, not likely though!
(I, however, do not think I am in a fashion time-warp although I have had children. My teenage niece would disagree!)

Generics

If you are like me, you often stare at the exceptionally less expensive generic brand, wondering if it really is the same. Sometimes you get lucky and other times, not so much! I am always confused as to whether I should buy the "generic" or "store brand" or if I should just spend the extra and get the trusted name brand. You know, you could end up spending more by buying the generic and then having to buy the real one anyways..so.....I found this cool article that compares generics and name brands. I need to take note of these, I purchase a lot of what is on the list and I bet you do too!

Some of my biggest surprises were: Slimfast (Equate being the generic and more highly rated version), Cough syrup, and Wheat Thins (compared to Kroger's version of wheat thins, with Kroger's winning!)
This is a great way to save some money, many of these generics are half the amount of the name brand! Hope this helps...
P.S. There is no Oreo like the real thing!!!!!
