It's been exactly six weeks since Groundhog Day, and some areas of the country are DEFINITELY in spring mode, while others are still stuck in winter.  But maybe those still-cold states are luckier in other ways.     For St. Patrick's Day, a new report ranked every state by how lucky they are . . . and the data included a LOT of things.     It considered "pure luck," so stuff like lottery wins, lightning strikes, and Irish population percentage . . . "financial luck," cost of living and affordability . . . and "lifestyle and safety luck," natural disasters, [...]

If you've filled your home with plants to help clean the air, you're gonna need to buy a lot more of them . . .     A new study looked at how well plants clean air indoors. And the answer is . . . they basically don't make a difference.     To match what a half-decent ventilation system does, you'd need at least one plant for EVERY square foot of space. So, if your place is 1,000 square feet . . . you need 1,000 plants before it would do much. That's on the low end. You might need [...]

If you're trying to eat healthy on a budget, here's some help . . .     "Food & Wine" ranked the top fruits and veggies to buy if you're trying to save money on your grocery bill.  They looked at the ones that are cheapest, and/or last a while so you can buy in bulk.     1.  Celery.  It's good in soups, stir-fries, or on its own as a snack.  Add peanut butter if you need to.     2.  Bananas.  They don't last long, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.  Toss them in oatmeal [...]

I probably don't need to tell you that Valentine's Day is TOMORROW.  If you're still searching for gift ideas, here are five of the best ones we've seen on social media.  And the good news is, you still have time to pull them off . . .     1.  A homemade photo box filled with pictures of you and your partner.     2.  A scratch off card, with prizes like "one free back massage."  Apparently it's pretty easy to do.  You just mix two parts acrylic paint with one part dish soap to create a scratchable coating.     [...]

"Consumer Reports" did a deep dive to find the cheapest and priciest grocery stores in America.  And both ends of this list make sense.     They looked at 35 different chains, and actually had people go pull prices directly off the shelves.  They used what you'd pay if you had a loyalty card with discounts.     And after all that work, they found that the cheapest place in America to get groceries is . . . yep, Costco.     They compared prices for all the stores to how much you'd pay at Walmart, the largest grocery chain in [...]

Most of the U.S. got pummeled with extreme winter weather this week, with even more on the way this weekend.  So, of course, a bunch of ridiculous cold weather "hacks" are going viral on social media.  Here are three car-focused ones that actually work . . . and two you should avoid:     1.  Using hand sanitizer to unfreeze door locks.  TRY IT. In a pinch, hand sanitizer can help thaw frozen locks due to its alcohol content, which melts ice.     2.  Pouring boiling water on a frozen windshield.  AVOID IT.  It's been going around on TikTok, but the [...]
