Sub sandwiches are relatively inexpensive to purchase from your local mom and pop or national sub shop chain. Order multiple foot-long sub sandwiches in a variety of types. Then, slice the subs into 2 to 3 inch pieces, place on a platter and serve as refreshments. So you don't have to stand in line, order the subs earlier in the day and arrange a pick-up time so that they are fresh. Also, when ordering, ask the sub shop to hold off on mayonnaise, mustard, oil and vinegar and sauces of any kind. Instead, provide those items in small serving bowls next to the sandwiches. People can then add those condiments if they desire. Also, you might consider writing out little cards in front of each platter to describe what is on each sub.
Sundae Bar
If you are hosting an event where a lot of kids are attending, consider offering a sundae bar as a refreshment. Purchase basic flavors of ice cream such as vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Also purchase toppings such as whipped cream, hot fudge, caramel and sprinkles. About 20 minutes before the refreshments are to be served, take out the ice cream so it begins to soften slightly. Set out an ice cream scoop for each kind of ice cream. Also, heat the caramel sauce and hot fudge in small sauce pans and place them out in bowls as people begin to line up for refreshments. You may need to heat multiple batches of the hot fudge and caramel sauce depending on how many people are attending. Set out the whipped cream and sprinkles and invite people to make their own sundae. You can also purchase other toppings such as candy bars, crushed cookies and nuts.
Fruit and Vegetables
If you are having an event for the health conscious, then you might consider setting out fruits and vegetables for your guests to enjoy. Put together a vegetable platter by purchasing cherry tomatoes, celery, baby carrots, cucumber, raw broccoli and raw cauliflower. For dipping sauces, purchase light ranch, light blue cheese and light balsamic vinaigrette. Wash and pat dry the vegetables. Slice the cucumbers and celery to bite-size pieces and separate the broccoli and cauliflower. Arrange all on a platter and serve with the dressings for dipping. For the fruit refreshments, you can choose to set out items that can be eaten whole such as apples, peaches, and oranges, or make a simple fruit salad by combining pieces of melon, strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple. As a topping for the fruit salad, you can set out yogurt or whipped cream.
Cheese Plate
A cheese plate is very simple to put together and usually popular. Purchase several different kinds of cheese. They can be mild such as a light cheddar, or pungent, such as a bold bleu cheese. Plan to purchase 2 to 3 oz. of cheese per person if this is the only refreshment. However, that number can be reduced if your event is serving other food. About 15 minutes before serving, remove the cheese from the packaging and place on a platter. Place a knife out for each type of cheese so they do not mix. Finally in a basket, place a paper or cloth napkin and layer a bunch of crackers on top. The crackers can be of an assorted variety. Place some tongs in the basket that people can use to grab the crackers.

How to Calculate LIFO FIFOIn Feburary 2016 17,
In Feburary 2016 17,
Download the price and unit list of the products currently in the company’s inventory. The price list will include the number of units purchased and the prices at which the units were purchased. The information will be ranked according to date of purchase; the units purchased most recently will be at the top of the list.
Determine the number of units sold from inventory. Suppose the company sold 350 units of inventory on August 1.
Multiply the prices the company paid for the most recent units by the number of units sold to determine LIFO cost of goods sold. Suppose the company purchased 100 units of inventory for $5 on January 1, 200 units for $8 on March 1, and 100 units for $10 on June 1. The LIFO cost of goods sold for these units would equal (100 x $10) + (200 x $8) + (50 x $5) = $2,850. The value of units remaining in inventory according to LIFO equals (50 x $5), or $250.
Calculating FIFO
Download the same price and unit list of the products currently in the company’s inventory, and rank the information according to date so that the most recent inventory purchases are at the top of the list.
Determine the number of units sold from inventory. Using the same example, suppose the the company sold 350 units on August 1.
Multiply the prices the company paid for the oldest units by the number of units sold to determine the FIFO cost of goods sold. Again, suppose the company purchased 100 units of inventory for $5 on January 1, 200 units for $8 on March 1 and 100 units for $10 on June 1. The FIFO cost of goods sold for these units will equal (100 x $5) + (200 x $8) + (50 x $10) = $2,600. The value of units remaining in inventory according to FIFO equals (50 x $10), or $500.

How to Set Up a Website for a Small BusinessIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
Choose a domain name, which will be the unique online location for your website. Use an online site like GoDaddy.com or NetworkSolutions.com to help you determine which sites are available. The best domain names are ones that are similar to your business name and easy to spell and remember. While .com sites are the most popular, don't overlook .net or .biz domains. Try to avoid using a domain name that would get confused with a popular website or competitor.
Secure a domain name. Once you have selected the name you'd like to use for your website, you will need to purchase it at an online hosting site like GoDaddy.com or DotEasy.com. You should also consider purchasing any related website names, such as .org, .net and .biz domains, to avoid confusion if someone sets up a website with a similar name to the one you have chosen for your business.
Purchase a web hosting package. Services like the ones mentioned above offer a variety of packages for online website and email hosting. Basic packages are available for a nominal fee. You should select your package based on specific needs, such as bandwidth, email accounts, storage needs and MySQL database need, subdomain availability and secure SLL certification. It may be beneficial to discuss your specific needs with a website designer or a web savvy friend to ensure that you purchase the best hosting package for your business.
Develop your site design and content. Before programming your website, you will need to determine its content. Information about you and your company, news items, events, blogs, photos and contact information are common components of most websites. You will also want to determine your website's navigation--how the information is presented and is accessed from one page to the next. It may be helpful to work with a professional copywriter and website designer to help you determine the best way to develop and organize content for your site.
Program your site, either using a professional website designer, an online service such as Homestead.com or iBuilt.com or an html software package like Adobe Dreamweaver. Online sites and downloadable software packages offer step-by-step instructions for website development and programming, including built-in templates, guides for downloading images and uploading content and customizable colors.
Upload your site. Once you have programmed and tested your website, you'll want to make it live. Send the link to customer and friends to help spread the word about your business. You may want to include a link for submitting feedback on your content and design to help improve your website's look and functionality.

How to Host a Cheap Baby ShowerIn Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Choose where the shower will be held. Your home or a friend's home costs nothing and gives you more flexibility on time and decorating. A backyard baby shower provides a natural decor, saving money on decorations.
Determine the best time to have the shower. Plan for in-between meal times to save on food costs. A 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. brunch or a 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. tea each require simple refreshments.
Create the guest list. If other showers are planned -- co-workers, extended family -- don't feel that you have to invite everyone to yours. Keep the list as small as possible for an intimate event.
Collect guests' email or mailing addresses. Save money by sending an electronic invitation or by creating your own to mail. Request an RSVP with enough notice to adequately plan your food and beverage needs.
Purchase as many refreshments in advance, so you can take advantage of sales. Most beverages can be stored until needed and some food items will also keep.
Throwing the Shower
Shop at discount stores for decorations and supplies. Purchase non-baby-related decorations in the colors of the nursery or the theme of the shower. Add matching plates and napkins in solid colors to a few packs of the more expensive printed items. Or, for greater savings, use your own dishes and utensils.
Create decorations out of items the future mom can keep as gifts. Diaper 'cakes' are popular gifts and double as an eye-catching centerpiece. Pin baby clothes to a length of sturdy string and hang as a clothesline decoration that mom can take home.
A diaper cake is a great decoration-turned-gift.
Make light foods that guests can snack on without sitting down for a formal meal. Chips and dip, finger sandwiches, raw vegetables and cheese and crackers are easy to eat as you mingle. Mini quiches, fruit and muffins are tasty options for a brunch shower. Make cupcakes in place of purchasing an elaborate cake. Personalize them with matching frosting or the baby's first initial. Offer hot or cold teas, lemonade and a light punch for beverages. To save more money, make it a potluck and ask each guest to bring an appetizer or dessert.
Fill a clear jar with candy for a 'guess how many are inside' game. The winner receives an inexpensive gift like soap or a candle, while each guest can scoop some candy into a plastic bag for their favor.
