Save Big on Holiday Flights, Airfare

I write a daily deal of the day post about great bargains I snagged. I recently booked a round-trip flight for five from Detroit to New Orleans on December 23 for $408 per ticket. That might sound high, but the 23rd is one of the priciest days to fly. Most tickets started at $500. But daughter who we visiting wanted family there for Christmas Eve. Last year, we flew on Dec. 24 and it wasn't that much cheaper. Here's how I snipped several hundred off travel. I Saved Big on Holiday Airfare

McDonald's Gives Books in Happy Meals

McDonald's is the poster child for fast-junk food. We have them to thank for teaching kids they need prizes for eating fat-saturated, sugar-drenched food. Micky D is responsible, in large part (pun intended) for super-sizing the world.

But the Golden Arches is trying to expiate these sins. From Nov 1-14, McDonald's will nix Happy Meal plastic toys in favor of books. It's to celebrate National Family Literacy Month. Ebooks will be available online.
