FOR MORE CHEAP AND HEALTHY GOODNESS...
1) Have your say!
We love reading comments, having discussions, and attempting to answer questions. For that last part, there’s even our fabulous new Ask the Internet column, in which readers become advice columnists. Sweet.
2) Spread the word!
Like us? Link to us! Refer us to a bookmarking site! Or just talk us up to your mom. That’s nice, too.
3) Behold our social networking!
Subscribe to our feed, join our Facebook page, or check out our Twitter. They’re morally fulfilling and super fun ways to kill time.
4) Buy from our Amazon Store!
If you click on the Amazon widget (lower left hand corner) and buy anything from Amazon (not just what we’re advertising on CHG), we get a small commission. And that’s always nice. (Incidentally, am I allowed to mention this? Will Amazon send their goons to eliminate my kneecaps? If you don’t hear anything here next week, just assume they’ve chained me to a conveyor belt filled with wolf sweatshirts.)
5) Never spell the word “definitely” with an “a”!
I’m just saying.
