The Burke Blog
My money. My business. My life.

I posted a Twitter update this morning that received several comments on my Facebook page from mom’s who did not seem to understand my position.  My explanation was limited due to the 140 character limit on Twitter, so this is a great opportunity for a blog post.

If you are my friend on Facebook, or you follow me on Twitter, you are probably already aware that I have recently joined the Efusjon Energy Club.  If you just stumbled onto my blog, then welcome!  I’ve already blogged about the basics of Efusjon, but I have committed to transparently blogging about my personal experience [...]

I posted yesterday on why I joined the efusjon energy drink club. Today, I’m going to talk about an aspect of the business that can be difficult to overcome for some people who may be interested in the product and the business, but that may hesitate because of misinformation.
Despite the incredible opportunity efusjon offers, [...]

I first learned about the efusjon energy drink club several months ago from a guy who coached against me when I was in high school.  He is now a friend of mine, and when he joined the efusjon energy drink club, he immediately made his pitch to me.  I’ll admit, I was skeptical.  I’ve never [...]

Yet another reason why I love Ooltewah.  And this morning it’s down to $1.89 per gallon!  I really can’t remember the last time I paid under $2.  I normally support the local business and buy my gas at Steve Ray’s Midnite Oil, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to pay less than $2 per [...]

If you visit KBB2.com on a regular basis, you might remember a post I wrote several weeks ago about saving time and money buying groceries.  In the article, I mentioned using “online coupon aggregators” (probably not the technical term) to find the best deals on the items you buy at the grocery store.  I also [...]

I recently ran across an article on Yahoo! written by Laura Rowley entitled How to Save $400 a Month on Groceries.  With food prices sky rocketing recently, it’s amazing to read how a family of four can eat on just $100 per week, or how certain web sites search the web – and your local [...]

In celebration of the new salon opening, Autumn (my girlfriend for those of you that don’t know) is offering 20% off ALL hair services through the month of June!  This is especially a great deal for those of you who have to get colored, cut and styled each time you visit a stylist.

Celebrating the beginning of Summer and Father’s Day, Amazon.com is offering massive discounts on their vast movie collection. Through June 9 you can save up to 50% off all DVD’s including the new Blu-Ray technology!
What is Blu-Ray?
Many of you may not be aware of the new Blu-Ray technology as it made it’s debut just [...]

If you’re like me, you probably cringe every time you pull into a gas station to fill up your car. Here in Chattanooga, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded has been treading around $3.65. How would you like to save 5% on every gas purchase you make no matter the [...]
