My daughter and I flying to North Carolina in a few weeks. Because I am currently not working and money is tight, I needed to find the best low cheap airfare price on flight tickets available, but it had to be a deal that would also allow me to choose seats together so my 4 year old and I could sit together.
The method that worked for me was to search the three big low cheap airfare sites: Expedia, Cheap Tickets, and Orbitz. Using the three big low airfare websites I was able to narrow down the airline company that had the lowest airfares for my destination.
I then went directly to the airline websites that were shown to be the cheapest. For a flight from Seattle,WA to Charlotte, NC, the going price was about $280 per ticket roundtrip after all taxes and fee's on the low cheap airfare sites. That was the advertised low price from Delta Airlines, the best deal on those sites.
I then went directly to the Delta Airlines website. I was able to find a flight on the days I wanted. The final price, approx $235 per ticket after taxes and fee's . A savings of $90 total!
Use the cheap airfare websites to find the cheapest airlines, then go directly to the airline websites and try there. It may not always worked, but this time it saved me almost $100.

Baking Soda Hair Wash

It really wasn't that long ago that I found out about washing my hair with baking soda. It has been the best hair care advice I've found in such a long time. I am now routinely washing my hair with baking soda a few times a month and find that it brings life to my hair. My hair drys faster, and has more body with less blow dry work.
When I use my baking soda hair wash I don't use shampoo or conditioner. Just the mixture of 1/2 cup of baking soda to 2 cups of warm water. I just pour it on and wash it out. Thoroughly. Then I use a little silk therapy to rub on my hair ends and to lightly cover the outside parts of my hair to make it have a silky look to it. My hair stays clean and looks nice enough to go out for days afterwards. Go here to learn more about my baking soda hair wash experience.

Switch To Electronic Cigarettes To Save Money

I first heard about the electronic cigarette online, my sister first heard about them from a kiosk in the middle of the mall. When we saw the NicotineGreen booth together at the NW Women's Fair held at Qwest Stadium in Seattle, we both left with our very own. I went for the Pink Electronic Cigarette, my sister picked up a silver electronic cigarette. We both are still very happy with our purchase.
NicotineGreen is a Seattle electronic cigarette brand, but they sell via their website as well. They have awesome prices, $60 less then other brands and unlike many other electronic cigarette companies they carry color electronic cigarettes. In addition to a pink electronic cigarette and a silver electronic cigarette, they are also carry a blue, black, and a red electronic cigarette. Cool huh.
The price is $69.99 for the kit. The electronic cigarette kit comes with:
- 1 complete electronic cigarette (battery, and atomizer with starter tip)
- 1 additional battery
- 1 wall charger with power cord
- 4 cartridges (one high, one medium, one low strength, one non-nicotine)
- 1 instruction manual
Long term, these e-cigs are a great deal. Start with the $69.99 kit, then buy refill eVapor cartridges for $6.50 for 5. Each cartridge is like 10 cigarettes. It is quite a savings over buying regular smokes. Plus, because there is no tar or carcinogens, and they can be used anywhere its such a better alternative way to get the nicotine.
