Does this mean one from each agency per calen- dar year? If so, why was I denied my Experian report in February 2010 after receiving a report from the agency in Novem- ber 2009? -- Dave, Wisconsin Dear Dave: The law allows you one free credit report from each of the major credit bureaus -- Equifax, Experian and TransUnion -- every 12 months. That's why your Febru- ary 2010 request was denied. AnnualCreditReport.com is the official site and the only place you can go to get your free credit reports. Dear Mary: I don't know what's going on in the rest of the country, but in New York, the price of bacon has gone through the roof. Our store has it at $4.59 a pound, but other pork products haven't increased. What's up? -- Melissa, New York Dear Melissa: Hog farmers dropped their herd numbers a cou- ple of years ago because of the recession, and now there is a short- age. Pork bellies (that's where bacon comes from) are trading at an all-time high. The price of bacon spiked in August, as summer is peak pork-eating season. Prices have remained high. You might consider buying bacon in bulk and then slicing it yourself. Dear Mary: I would like to use my unheated, insulat- ed three-season sun porch as a craft and sewing area. At 45-55 degrees, it gets pret- ty cold in there during the winter months. I only plan to work in there a few hours a day at most. Can you recommend an economical heat source? -- Josie, New Jersey Dear Josie: Perfect for heating a small area is a portable electric radiant heater. Radiant heaters heat objects, such as your feet and hands, as opposed to a convection heater, which heats the air. I have an Optimus H-4110 9-inch dish heater (retails for less than $25), and I keep it by me as I work in my home office on cold Califor- nia mornings. At 300 watts, it's an energy-efficient heating alternative to larger, traditional heaters. Dear Mary: I can't seem to make good coffee and end up with brown water. I have a fairly new coffee maker, which I regularly clean with white vinegar. I grind beans right before brewing and use a heaping spoonful for each cup of cold water. I scrub my pot and basket and use a paper filter. Any ideas? Should I buy a new coffee maker? - - Sarah, Kansas Dear Sarah: I'm sure your coffee Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate maker is fine, but it may have a lot of residual vinegar. Clean- ing your machine once a year should be sufficient. Run a few cycles with clear water to get rid of the vinegar. Next, make sure you are using good water. Use bottled or filtered water if your tap water is highly chlorinated or just not tasty. And make sure you are using freshly roasted coffee beans. As you may know, I roast my own beans. I purchase green coffee beans (www.URoastEm.com) for about $6 a pound and roast once a week. It takes about 20 minutes and pro- duces awesome coffee. Good water and great beans make fabu- lous coffee. Do you have a question for Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723.
