There is some talk around the frugal blogosphere, and in savings forums, that Deli Staff will constantly ask if you want more to get you to purchase additional meat. While it wouldn’t allow for massive profits on an individual basis, it could nationally.

I was under the assumption that the items are difficult to measure up. Friends who work at the supermarket agree - rather than waste time fiddling around on the scales, they check if rounding up or down is ok.

It is worth being aware of the potential upsell as this can affect your budget over the long run. My belief is that it all gets eaten and if you want precise measurements, pay extra for the prepackaged meat.

I conduct most of my work online as well as store most of my data on the computer. Important docuements are scanned and it contains gigabytes of various digital outputs (homemade movies, pictures)

I bought this prior to my computer crashing and am so glad I did. Its a Seagate model with 160 gig space, brought from Digital Yes.

Its proven that useful I’ve inspired two people to look at getting their own. Mine hasn’t resided in my house for a month.

I’ve gotten the landlords into many computer functions including watching movies on the computer. I often download shows from the past that haven’t been released on DVD - many obscure titles from Sci Fi’s past.

Its so simple to upload a program, like Itunes, onto it and requires no installation. I know Officeworks has a 500 GB one for $70 more, which I’ve reccomended to the landlords. I like mine and want it back!

Its also proved useful when getting large files from others houses.

Next on the list is the PDA, but I don’t mind waiting for it.
