    Default 66 ways to save money brochure

    Frankly, I thought I wouldn't find anything new, but I did! This is a free for viewing brochure at the government printing office site. A lot of it is old hat and won't be new to anyone who's a regular at FV. As I said there were one or two things I hadn't thought of or heard, and I've been trying to save $ for a long time now.

    This says it's publication of the Consumer Federation of America, which I've never heard of, so I'm off to explore them too!

    btw, the us printing office site is pueblo(dot)gsa(dot)gov

    Here's the link to the document: http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/cic_text/money/66ways/

    It took me a few minutes to find it, so here's the shortcut.

    I would have posted the link, but I thought we weren't allowed to?

    Sigh.

    Sorry for making the extra work!
