Great Prices Here

I know I have never done a post such as this one before, but I just wanted to do something completely different from my usual save money / get good deals kind of posts and still at the same time, keep it All about the Money, honey J. I was watching the movie First Wives Club again after years and got curious to find out who were involved in the biggest divorce settlements ever.

Now if I were to pick one divorce settlement that is to my mind the most famous, I would it was the Donald Trump / Ivana Trump divorce with its high profile showdowns on ski slopes and massive settlements. After all it was Ivana who made that classic line her own when she said in the First Wives Club, ‘Don’t get mad, get everything!” Though the exact amounts paid out in the divorce were sealed by the Courts, according to Wiki, rumors estimated that Ivana received $20 million, the $14 million family estate in Connecticut, a $5 million housing allowance, all of her jewelry and 49% of Mar-A-Lago, the family home in Palm Beach which also serves as a private club for the Palm Beach elite. Ivana’s next marriage; to Riccardo Mazzucchelli didn’t last either and she filed a $15 million breach of contract suit against him as well.

Now as a corollary to my last post, I have to include a costume idea from one of the commentators here: use some old or discarded clothes to do this DIY fusion outfit: “I cut a shirt in half and an old dinner jacket and some pyjamas and I stuck them together to appear like I had a line going down the middle of me, with a suit on one side and PJs on the other. I even wore one slipper and one shoe, lol!!” Sounds like a good idea to me!

Now store bought decorations, props and outfits may be quick and convenient but also quite expensive. If you take out some time for DIY items, you can save a whole lot of money and have a lot of family fun in the bargain. Over here, I found some really fun DIY ideas for Halloween including making monster footprints, simple-to-make ghosties, green pumpkin, icky cobwebs and a whole bunch of other ideas you can use for a Halloween party.

People, I just bought me a new cell phone: it is this really sleek and smart Nokia, from their XpressMusic series. I will freely confess that it was not a discount or anything of the sort that convinced me to buy it, just the fact that I thought that the phone I got was good value for money and feature packed and so pretty! I can’t help it; I love red, and the phone felt really nice in my hands! Besides I am brand loyal to Nokia, I have owned a Nokia for the past 4 years, and love its logical and easy navigation.

This blog I read regularly, decided to go pink for October because this is breast cancer awareness month. The official pink for October website is urging people to go pink for this month to get people talking about breast cancer, and raise money for research. But to be clear, raising money isn’t the primary purpose of this web event. The hope is that you turn your site pink (in whatever way works for your site), educate yourself about the multiple issues related to Breast Cancer, then take that knowledge and tell someone else what you’ve learned. This is an admirable cause so I am supporting it in my own small way!

So I thought to myself what post about discounts and good deals can I possibly do that is related to this issue? Well the closest I could come up with is lingerie, after all it is that which supports and enhances our er… womanly assets.

I don’t know how many of you already know about hypermiling, but this is a term that I needed to find out more about. Hypermiling is a set of techniques to increase fuel efficiency and keep down fuel costs, so naturally I was interested in finding out more. It’s all about learning to adopt certain driving methods to get more miles per gallon of fuel. The technique has been around for some time now, but gas prices being very volatile recently have made is really popular in recent times. According to the hypermiling site, there are six main steps to follow:
