American Home Shield If there's one thing I've learned since becoming a homeowner a little over 5 years ago, it's that any thing that can go wrong usually does go wrong.  Owning a home can be quite expensive, for unlike an apartment, you are responsible for any and all upkeep and repairs that occur.

I had no idea what a home protection plan was when we bought our home, but thankfully, our realtor strongly recommended we purchase one for our home and we did.  A home insurance policy covers the structure of the home itself, while a home protection plan covers the CONTENTS of your home, such as water heaters and major appliances, when they need repair or replacement.

American Home Shield invented the concept of home protection plans a little more than 39 years ago and have since become the leading home protection plan company.  American Home Shield provides homeowners warranty plans which provide peace of mind for any homeowner 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

They are also part of the ServiceMaster family, which includes such home service companies as ServiceMaster Clean, TruGreen, Terminix and Merry Maids, so you can rest assured that any service request you require will be handled by only the best and most reputable companies.

Getting Crunchy with Katie Are you buried in plastic grocery bags? Are the bags overflowing out of a container that is supposed to keep them organized? Or, do you stuff one thousand bags into another plastic Kroger bag until it bursts?

This was my life for a long time. Half of the area under our sink was full of plastic bags. When I opened the door, the bags would fall out. I did not know what to do with them! Throw them away? No, that is wasteful! Recycle them? I never remembered to take them to the Kroger recycle bins. The pile just kept growing!

Kroger

Are North Texans more extreme in their couponing practices or is Kroger just testing out a new policy?

According to The Consumerist, the major supermarket chain announced effective yesterday it would no longer allow customers to double and triple store coupons in North Texas stores, a practice that lets shoppers multiply the face-value savings of coupons.

Kroger earlier this year stopped the practice in Houston, saying they'd move discounts from coupons into overall savings on groceries.

Fortunately, Kroger isn't the only supermarket that accepts doubling and tripling. Some major chains and their policies include:
