It’s been an interesting week as a parent in the CleverDude household. Last weekend I was impressed by my son’s discovery that store brand products can be just as good as more expensive products. But then I was frustrated by his lack of communication over a fairly expensive calculator that he needs for school. Such is the roller coaster of parenthood, right? We just keep teaching lessons at every opportunity, and hope they turn out OK.
Back to our usual Friday business, here’s my favorite posts I read this week. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this post! I had fun and like this. I will read also the link you share.
It took a long time as an adult to realize that the generics are just as good as the name brand stuff.
@Jeremy – Glad you liked my link post – check out the links and give the authors some comment love!
@Michelle – I know the feeling – sometimes it’s hard to shake that thought process even knowing some generic products that I use All The time!
