kykidd I believe people are becoming more frugal in today's day and age. They will look at garage sales, resale shops and charity stores, for something used, before they will go to the big package stores and buy it new. That is, especially if it is a big ticket item....

kykidd I have only been to four zoos, that I recall. The best, by far, was the Cincinnati Zoo, in Cincinnati, Ohio. However, they charge quite a chunk of change to visit. My next favorite zoo is the St. Louis Zoo. That is the zoo in St. Louis, Missouri. The...

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 27 May 12

kykidd The 35 year old man who went cycling in Spain must have been really frugal, in order to get a whole 8 nights on his two hundred and fifty pounds. Plus, he still had 2 pounds left over, in the end. I like cycling, and I would say the countryside of Spain...

I Found A Dollar In My Soap!

StephanieAnnC @StephanieAnnC (4274) • United States 28 May 12

And yes, it was a real dollar. And yes, it was a real, usable bar of soap. I actually had received this so-called "Money Soap" when I won a raffle at a dinner I went to with my firefighter boyfriend. I could have won up to $50 in...

kykidd That is so cool, Stephanie. How long did you have the soap before you knew that you had come up with a winner? Did all of the bars of money soap have money in them? I'm sure it would have been nice to have been one of the $50 winners, but at least the raffle...
