REVIEW: Reese’s Snack Cake

What are Reese’s Snack Cakes? Each snack consists of a chocolate cake layer topped with Reese’s peanut butter creme and covered in milk chocolate. How are they? When I unwrapped my package of Reese’s Snack Cakes, I was expecting a take on a Hostess CupCake or Zinger: a supple, airy sponge slicked with icing. What I found looked more like a candy bar: two chocolate-coated rectangles nestled in a cardboard sleeve, compact and entirely coated with milk chocolate. Intrigued by the snack’s appe...

REVIEW: Key Lime Pie M&M’s

Scheduled for a spring release, Key Lime Pie M&M’s made an early appearance at my local gas station in Pennsylvania. Punxsutawney Phil assures me that this is a sign we are in for an early spring, so what better way to celebrate than by digging into these lime-flavored white chocolate M&M’s? As a fan of both real white chocolate and last year’s Orange Vanilla Cream M&M’s, I was excited to try out this new citrus-inspired treat. Larger than your standard plain variety, Key Lime Pie M&M’s have an...

5 reasons why we budget every month

Recently in the Millionaire Money Mentors forums, there was a discussion on how people control their spending. One concept was mentioned over and over: Budgeting. Sweeping semantics like “budget” vs. “spending plan” vs. “spending goal” and so forth, most of the participants saw the value of being aware of planning at some level for spending. For now, we're better with budgeting than without My finances were pretty simple prior to getting married (early aughts). It was just mys...

REVIEW: Popcorn M&M’s

When I tore open the share size bag of these new Popcorn M&M’s that have milk chocolate with a crisp rice center, I was immediately transported to a movie theater. Or, if you look at Blue on the package, it is to the stands of a football game chowing down on a chocolatey popcorn treat. The scent of these is outstanding as they do nail the essence of a creamy, buttery milk chocolate concoction. However, please don’t get your hopes up too too much as the smell doesn’t fully translate to the tast...

Tesla haters are parking their pickup trucks at Tesla Supercharger stations

Tesla's emergence as a revolutionary automaker over the past few years hasn't exactly been a smooth ride. Between Elon Musk's antics and a long history of production issues -- not to mention an equally long history of losing money every quarter -- Tesla has nonetheless managed to stay afloat while fundamentally changing the way many people view the driving and car-buying experience. That notwithstanding, Tesla's success has given rise to a number of decidedly anti-Tesla groups k...

30+ Ways To Get Free Coffee (& More) On National Coffee Day

There's one piece of money advice that people love to offer — often unsolicited — to millennials: stop buying daily coffees. We understand that the relatively small amounts we spend on lattes and cold brew can add up in just a week, but imploring us to deny ourselves one of life's simplest, most wonderful pleasures doesn't really seem fair. But there is, thankfully, one day each year when we can put aside our guilt over buying coffee because, on this most joyous of days, there are plenty of way...
