Thanks to NewGirl for today’s rant:

Dear Heloise Maxed Out: Hard Times, Easy Credit and the Era of Predatory Lenders hd : I usually watch the news at night to see what the WEATHER is going to be the next day so that I can dress accordingly. However, sometimes the weatherperson is not on the mark.

We recently moved to a house that has a garage, which we always park our vehicles in, so I don’t find out that the weather has changed until I am on my way to work. Sometimes I have on capris and sandals when I really should have worn pants and closed-toe shoes.

So, now before I change out of my pajamas, I step out onto the back deck to check the weather. This has saved me several times from being cold the whole day! Hope someone else can use this! — Karen Kay, Universal City, Texas

Karen, you are right! The other day, the TV said that it was going to be clear and 72. When I got up and started my day, it was raining and a little chilly, so it is always better to check outside so that you aren’t surprised! — Heloise

Are you people kidding

Secondhand Lions movie

The Blackout dvd me?? This got published in the newspaper? Last week, there was a hint about buying meat on sale to save money. You can even freeze it until you need it. *Wow*

Hints collected from my friends:
- When I go to the grocery store, I sign up for the savings club and use my card to save money each time I buy groceries.
- I read the newspaper everyday and there is a helpful column where people can write in and share everyday hints.
- The post office has these new stamps you can use that does not require licking. They are self-adhesive and cost the same as regular stamps!
