Last week, we had a Human Touch Swan Softouch Massager to giveaway, thanks to our friends over at
Relax the Back.
I know you've all been anxiously waiting to see your name announced. If I had
it my way, I'd choose all of you, and we'd be on our way to a spa weekend

Burke Williams right
now, but unfortunately, I don't always get my way. So, without further ado,
let's find out who's going to be spending the next week relaxing

for keeping the cost down while you cheer on your favorite team.

Rising oil prices are great news if you're
Exxon Mobil,
but not so much for the rest of us. And, while those of us who drive
regularly were hoping that the cost of hybrid cars would drop, it
instead looks like car manufacturers are
moving away from hybrid cars altogether. What's a cost-conscious commuter to do?

Oddly enough this came up today at Savings.com. You would think something so simple would be common knowledge among us savvy shoppers here, but apparently not. Big Lots, 99¢ Stores, and many other places selling close-outs also sell groceries.
I ducked out during my lunch break, splurged on a cartload of goodies and spent all of $37!

Money Saving Tips
If you're like me, you have your smartphone on hand all the
time and you're constantly checking it. So, when you start thinking about
travel plans – maybe it's a weekend on an island to escape the cold or a trip
to hit the slopes – why would you pull out your laptop, when apps for all
your travel needs are available for your phone? Many apps are free, though
there are some that go up in price from a few cents to a yearly fee. The
savings, however, far outweigh the convenience offered when with the touch of a
screen you can book your flight, choose your seat, make a hotel reservation or
even send a video postcard once you've reached your destination.

Stuff We Like
I love audiobooks. Right now I'm halfway through Stephen
King's "11/23/63," and already it ranks among my favorite spoken-word books of
all time.
What I do not love is audiobook prices. iTunes charges
$44.95 for the unabridged version of "11/23/63." The new Steve Jobs biography
runs $29.95. And so on. You could listen yourself into the poorhouse if you're
not careful.

This week all fashionstas were a twitter over the
new line by Karl Lagerfeld
exclusively for Net-a-Porter.
KARL,
a collection of apparel and accessories is true to Lagerfeld's style aesthetic
– streamlined, clean lines, primarily black and white with some rocker and
futuristic touches.
While KARL for
Net-a-Porter is far more wallet-friendly than Lagerfeld's collections for
Chanel, but can still be outside many stylish women's budgets.
Here's some online styles that can evoke the
feeling of the KARL line, but at a lower price.

As someone who does a lot of cooking, and enjoys it, I'm also someone
who typically watches things like the price of food. As the cost of
almost everything goes up, it's a real challenge sometimes to try to
serve healthy, tasty meals without breaking your budget. There are a few
things that you'll want to pay attention to in order to make your
grocery dollar go further. I learned most of them at my mother's knee
growing up, but every now and again I go back and talk to
her so that I can figure out how to save another few cents on the
dollar. My mom's practice has made her the master, so here are some of the lessons I've learned from the best.

Is eco-tourism just a buzz word from the first decade in the 21st century? Whenever I hear "eco-tourism" I think of fancy tents in Africa where someone else does all the hard work of typical camping and lots of wild animals a safe distance away but close enough to feel scared. What is eco-tourism shaping up to be in the new decade?

Product Review
As an occasional wine drinker, I never gave much thought to the
environmental impact my mid-level, whatever was on sale, bottle of wine
had on the environment. But a few months ago an article on pesticides
used in U.S. wineries prompted a mini-freak out and I temporarily
stopped buying wine.
That was until I found organic wine sold
in environmentally friendly box packaging. Thankfully, there is good
wine out there that doesn't hurt the planet.
