NAVIGATION SYSTEM

Did you know that if you were to purchase a new car with a navigation system in it you would pay approximately $450.00 additional? But if you bought the Navigon Mobile Navigator (NMN) for $50.00 and download it to your Iphone you could attach that to your dashboard or windshield for $20.00. Also if you have a phone that runs Android OS you already have the NMN built in and your total cost would be $20.00.

Restaurant Surplus

Did you know it's common for Restaurant Owners to buy more food than they sell.  This is a catch 22, because Restaurant owners want to have enough food for their customers, but end up throwing just as much if not more food away.  In an article I read Jim Larson noted that "If the Restaurant sold it, they could write off the cost on their taxes. But when it’s not served, they often throw out the surplus. When that happens, they’re paying for the food, they’re losing the chance to expense the cost, and they’re paying a hauler to cart away the excess". Larson has an organization that offers the alternative of finding a charity that would take the surplus food for its feeding program. By donating the food, participating restaurants can qualify for an “incremental deduction” on their taxes for what they give the charity.
