Bunk’s Money Saving Tips: Toothpaste!

Some frugal folks simply amaze me with their ingenuity.  What a money saver this is!

In order to make sure that no toothpaste is wasted, just freeze it, cut away the tube, dice it into individual servings.  Put the single-serving cubes in a plastic bag and store them in the freezer until needed.  When you’re ready to brush, just take one out, thaw it, and brush away!  No wasted toothpaste EVER.

Finished product looks like this:

Colors may vary depending on what brand of toothpaste you freeze.  For more efficiency you can number them.  The ones below are scheduled for use during the month of June.

Send us photos of your toothpaste cubes and let us know how much money YOU saved by being frugal with toothpaste, and we’ll include them in a future post.

Saturday Matinee: Tammet, Clarke & Dawe, Bob & Ray, The Bobs, The Rays, The Silhouettes, and RAY CHARLES

Daniel Tammet is amazing.

Clarke and Dawe.  Full story can be found here.

Here’s Bob and Ray.  Google them for more classic straight faced funnies.

The Bobs’ A capellaness is only mildly annoying and somewhat entertaining.

The Rays, with “Silhouettes on the Shade.”

The Silhouettes’ “Get A [lipsinch] Job.”

The Late Great Ray Charles:  “Shake A Tail Feather!” from the movie “The Blues Brothers.” (Watch for Steve Cropper & Duck Dunn, with Matt “Guitar” Murphy.)

Saturday Matinee: We lost a couple of greats this week. Jerry Reed & Bill Melendez.

“Amos Moses” was my favorite Jerry Reed song. My younger sister had the 45rpm record, and I didn’t.  (But I knew all the words, and she didn’t.)

Chet Atkins is a treasure, and Jerry Reed was a classic. There’s more of J.R.’s Pickin’ n’ Grinnin’ at RockHoppers. (Dan, you beat me to it!) God bless Jerry.

Here’s Chet Atkins with Suzy Bogguss.

And here’s Suzy Boggus with Chet Atkins.

Bill Melendez.  You’ve seen his stuff.  You’ve heard his stuff.  Seems kinda appropriate that there is no video, and I relive part of my childhood whenever I hear this song.

What a Jackass.

I think I know what it means, but I’m not sure.

We just found out that today is also “Blog Day.”  Well woo freakin’ hoo.  Lessee, we got USA, Australia, Canada, England, Netherlands, Russia, Spain and Kentucky all covered.  Kind of a big “Duh” there.  Many of the blogs that we find interesting are already on our blogroll, and the others that we read frequently are major league babosos that don’t need the advertisement.

In summary:
“ONE TWO THREE KICK, ONE TWO THREE JUMP!”
–Joey Dee & the Starlighters, Live at the Peppermint Lounge

We have a Winner! Sorta.

Regarding THIS CHALLENGE, everyone who submitted a .jpg file of a guy pointing directly at the Hi-Def camera during the NY vs. Boston game, 4 July 2008, at Yankee Stadium, won the prize.

Note that everyone who won is named Mik.

Here’s Mik‘s Winning Entry above, but it was not the one I was looking for.  Here’s the one I found below:

Since everyone (Mik) who entered emailed me to complain about the time they wasted trying to find the Pointer, I emailed Mik back with a detailed description of his prize:

A Genuine Motile WR30M “Third/Level Waterproof LED Back Light Sportwatch” (sic) made China, including display case and instructions!

Shown at right in its display case on top of tonight’s leftovers, it keeps time, beeps and lights up (as shown below right) and times things once you figger out the directions.  It’s apparently a knockoff of something made by Timex, but also something a 10 year old little bastard would prize until he finds out through trial and error that “water-resistant” doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing in Mandarin.

Mik had so much annoying fun with this contest that he’s declined his award (he already has a Chinese “sportwatch”) and is willing to donate it to a future event.  Bunk never argues against generosity.  Y’all are forewarned.  Another competition is in the works.  Or not.

[Thanks, Mik!]
