]]> Comment on DIY Projects that Will Save You Money in Winter by Annie Blue http://www.paidtwice.com/2012/01/27/diy-projects-that-will-save-you-money-in-winter/#comment-424683 Annie Blue Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:52:38 +0000 http://www.paidtwice.com/?p=1523#comment-424683 Great list :) If you have jolicy windows - those annoying slatted ones that never keep anything out - cutting a piece of insulation foam to size and popping it in the window really helps. We save about $60/month in the winter from using this simple $8 piece of foam. [and we don't have to hear the neighbors or collect bugs] The web link is a picture of ours. Great list :)

Assuming people start eating better (as opposed to eating less), they're going to spend their food budget on fruits, veggies and other real food as opposed to processed crap. Often, that ends up being more expensive. I don't know about you, but exercising often makes me hungrier, not less hungry. I eat better as a result of exercising, but I still need a midday snack.

]]> Comment on Save Cash at the Airport by Roberta http://www.paidtwice.com/2011/10/03/save-cash-at-the-airport/#comment-421254 Roberta Wed, 12 Oct 2011 03:08:05 +0000 http://www.paidtwice.com/?p=1430#comment-421254 Where I live, taking a shuttle to and from the airport is much costlier than parking in the farthest airport "value" lots. Shuttles run from the terminal to these lots frequently, and this saves time too over the shuttles that take people home since I always seem to be the last one dropped off--and the trip takes forever. It's worth checking into parking options at the airport as some have value lots such as those here in South Florida.
