Confessions of an Ex-Shopaholic

Summah, Summah, Summah Time!  (Part One)

I think I made it clear that summer is my favorite time of the year.  Today you are getting a GIANT double dose of savings.    Why?  Because Memorial Day is upon us.  To me, Memorial Day means beaches, pools, grilled hot dogs, and pasta salad, AND 1 year to my wedding day.  The first part, therefore, will be a summer extravaganza, and tomorrow’s part will be wedding savings for any of you blushing brides.

Part I:   “Don’t you find Kahuna to be a little on the lazy side?”

Part 2: Memorial Day BBQ–Let’s get grilling!

The biggest question is gas or charcoal when barbecuing.  Food cooked on a charcoal grill  is so yummy but charcoal is so messy and annoying.  Charcoal grills are hard to get going and it’s a pain to clean up.  Gas is so simple, if you like the taste of lighter fluid.

Weber Q Rolling Cart

I will give you 2 options for this.  The cheaper option is from a place called CCEShop, where you save more than just money. (Maybe it’s a religious shop.) The grill is $39.99 at CCEShop.  If you don’t trust CCEShop, then I have included a Home Depot option.

It’s a stand up grill on wheels.  Cart it wherever you like. It folds up nice and clean to be put away.

Can’t make up your mind?

Char Griller Duo
