    Extreme Coupons: TV Show Draws Extreme Backlash

    I've been a fugal shopper since the Jimmy Carter economy. Where I live,stores will only do one coupon per customer. The most they double is .99 cents. And most will not allow two different coupon offers on one item. Yet you can still save. A few weeks ago I spent 50.00 and saved 50.00. Have you...

    What do you do when you stumble on a good deal?

    No matter what it is if it is a great low price and you can use it-buy it. I once heard an economist say when you stock up when prices are extremely low it is like putting money in a savings account.:goodvibes

    Best food to buy at Aldi's

    Aldi does not take checks or credit cards. You can use a debit card. You do need to bring bags or buy them there. But you can get boxes there just like at Sam's Club. You will need a quarter to get a shopping basket,but you will get it back when you return the cart. I like just about all of...

    Creative ways to give cash

    When my DS graduated from high school I bought a very cheap dress shirt. Then I made a bow tie out of 100.00 dollar bills and put on the shirt collar. When he saw the shirt box I could see he was disappointed;but he was all smiles when he saw his expensive bow tie.

    The last time we were in Daytona we ate at Stavro's Pizza. It isn't fancy,but they have great prices and a Greek salad that is fantastic. Also in New Smyrna there is a seafood place called BlackBeard's Inn. I had the best thing,lobster lasagna. It is one of a very few times that I have raved...

    There is a hotel on the beach at Daytona Shores that we stayed at a few years ago. It is not deluxe,but is nice. I think it is now a Days Inn hotel. They are on the internet as Tropical Seas. They are very nicely priced. Also it is only about 1hr. and 20 min. drive from Daytona Shores to WDW.

    handicap parking?

    Thanks for the info. Even though my husband states he doesn't think I'll be a good driver and run over someone,I really think he likes to have control of where I go when he's pushing the wheelchair. I'm still going to try to talk him into the scooter. It's a hard job pushing me around.

    handicap parking?

    Our last two DW trips I have rented a wheelchair at the parks. My husband would not let me rent a scooter. He said my driving wasn't good enough:lmao: If I can talk him into renting one for our Dec. trip, I would want to drive to the parks rather than bothering everyone on the buses. I have...

    Do you run across a lot of places that don't take CC when you travel?

    This summer we traveled through about 8 states. We hardly ever have cash. When we travel I might have $50.00 or so. We mostly have no problem,but I always look for the cc signs on the door and before I order (if a eating establishment) or buy something I always inquire,"do you except credit cards?"
