The Chronic Consumer

A friend of mine is into genealogy and ancestry. She’s been working on an extended family history for several years now, and I think she’s got data on her ancestors going back more than 100 years, which is pretty impressive if you ask me! My friend takes her hobby very seriously and has numerous genealogy tools and products to help make her research easier, including cemetery transcription notepads, pedigree and descendency charts, and a lot more.

I once tried to do a family tree project for school and got as far as my great-grandparents, so I can’t imagine digging through birth and death records, keeping track of marriages and divorces, and even examining DNA evidence where applicable.

That sounds like way too much work, so I’d probably just buy some genealogy software and go as far as that would take me!

Buying items from the Hope Catalog is a wonderful way to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. The Hope Catalog is always filled with great items such as greeting cards, clothing, office supplies, gifts, and more, all at very good prices (made all the better when you know the proceeds are going to support such an important cause).

Right now you can enjoy even more savings off the Hope Catalog’s already low prices during the annual Summer Sale. The items are grouped according to price, so you can shop for products that are $5.00 or less, $10 or less, or $20 or less.

I’ve got my eye on several items, including the toiletry bag ($10), nylon lunch bag ($8), and computer bag ($20).

Check out the sale items for yourself and buy something if you can!
