Here's a HOT deal....TODAY ONLY...Jet Blue http://www.jetblue.com/ is offereing $10.00 one way flights to celebrate their 10th birthday. Check it out!

This is an awesome shopping week in regard to the three big drugstores. As I mentioned earlier, I don't want to reinvent the wheel, so to speak, so I invite you to check out http://www.southernsavers.com/ and just click on the store you are interested in. I'm heading out in a bit to get in on the deals. I'll let you know how it goes.

Here are a few news-makers that have caught my ever-probing frugal eyes lately:

Did you see the Chicago Sun Times article? Grace Groner of Lake Forest, IL, purchased three shares of Abbott for $180 in the 1930's. By never selling and reinvesting the dividends those three shares grew to $7 million. Grace never married, worked as a secretary, and lived frugally in a small cottage her whole life. When she died-at age 100- she left the entire 7 mill to her alma mater. They were shocked! I just love stories like this!! A life of value...

Iceland went to the polls last week and voted down-by a huge majority- a plan that would pay back banks in the Netherlands and Britain who lent them money after one of their own banks was going to be forced into bankruptcy. Sounds pretty ungrateful to me...betcha they have a hard time finding someone to bail them out the next time they cry wolf.

And have you heard about some California restaurants adding a new fee to your tab? It seems that they are upset at the recent hike in health care costs and instead of raising prices in general, they are adding a separate fee onto the final bill. I would think that this is just the cost of doing business...taking care of your employees.  Would this fly in other businesses? That extra fee on your plumbing or mechanic bill? Oh, that's for employee benefits. Hmmm...Things like this, 8% tax, and mandatory 20% tipping-even if the service is bad-keep me eating at my own table more and more.

Your thoughts??

I'm having this unsettled feeling lately and I can't figure out exactly why? Do you ever feel that way? I know it's just a feeling, but it can be annoying, and, well-- unsettling. So tell me, what do like about the blog? What do you not like?  I am at almost 100 subscribers and/or followers. When I reach 200, I'll up the ante on the gift cards. I am committed to blogging every day for a year, but I admit, I'm pretty fickle about it all....so thanks for reading and for the encouragement. I love your posts and emails, even when I can't answer them all. Happy Savings!
