Amazon Friday Sale
The Amazon Friday Sale was a little weak this week. I usually find a few products, but with many repeats of previous products, I found only three noteworthy products. (I wish they’d get rid of the whole footware category. I know women like their shoes, but I’m not about to write [...]

Addicted to Cell Phones (and Personal Finance Links)

Adventures in Dallas (and how we saved money there)
