Did anyone see the Yahoo article

(actually from Bizrate) about saving money? You can find it here:

Most of it's pretty basic, but I thought I'd point it out just the same.

Thanks for sharing! I am happy to say that I am not bogged down by any of the 10 money traps.

We're good, lol. Dh might eat lunch out once every couple of months with his coworkers and that's it. As far as bottled water goes, we do drink it, but I stock up when it's on sale and we have a special small fridge that we only keep water in. We also have refillable juice box containers and some other random travel cups. The most our bottled water ever costs is $.18 a bottle...which admittedly is still more expensive than tap, but a lot cheaper than buying drinks while we're out

wow with the water part. i think that when we go to the park or wherever we would need water we will bring our own water bottles and keep a big jug in the car also to refill our bottles. lol, jason will have to get used to tap water.

Good article...thanks! I did the membership thing once. I joined a tanning salon, but I could never get an appt. when I wanted one, so ended up paying $150 for one tan! I also had a dental insurance once for $30 a month that I only used twice, once for me and once for my son. It only saved me $60 and I paid $180 for it.
