Saturday Link Love

It’s Saturday, and it’s Halloween. Time to sugar-up the little Trick-or-Treaters with candy and get our own costumes going. A lot of friends have been going to haunted houses and other Halloween-themed events, but I’m not into the scary stuff. I don’t even like to watch horror movies!

You know what’s REALLY scary? Our fridge after me being sick for a week!

This looks like the fridge of a few bachelors I know. I haven’t gone food shopping or made a real meal all week, so Mr. Saver has had to fend for himself.

And don’t forget, daylight savings time starts late tonight. Turn back those clocks at 2 a.m. — those of you who will still be out partying at that time will love the “extra hour” you’ll be getting.

As for the links I liked this week, I’m going to try to do this every Saturday — but don’t get mad if I slip up now and then!

This Saturday’s links:

“13 minutes to a lower cable bill” by Stacy Johnson at Wisebread.com. An example of how it’s possible to haggle with your service providers. Although I’ve never only spent 13 minutes on a call — being on hold takes at least that long, if not 30 minutes to an hour…
