I just booked a last minute car yesterday. Priceline was the best option this time. Usually I get a better rate through the rental companies. Costco has never had a better rate for me, so far.

I shop multiple places every time I need new contacts and go with whatever is cheaper at the time. It's usually a different place each time. Right now my brand is $54 a box at costco and $31 at lens.com, because they're having a sale. But they're not always the cheapest every time.

I have another pay attention lesson. I closed DH's CIP, it's been a year, about a month ago. Then he was mentioning how he needed to pay his tuition soon so I jumped online to apply for another CIP for him because I was leaving the next day for a 3 day FL weekend and wanted to make sure it...

I have the junior and always use it for long weekends, about 4-5 days of clothes. It fits under the seat (though leaves you without much leg room)... Love that bag. My DP of the day. I was a little worried about buying a SW gift card to get the airline Hilton Aspire credit, since things...

It is beautiful and historic. And cold. Really cold. :rotfl2:DS was doing a school project last night about average amounts of precipitation each month in this year. 6 of the months had an average snow amount. That's just not right, winter shouldn't last 6 months. In the first and last...

Wow! Congrats to him for being so awesome that everyone wants him! :cool1:I'm a little jealous. I'm dying to get out of New England, but I'm the only one. My kids don't want to move and we're in a good area for DH's job. Some day...

I've taken my two oldest when they turned 13, just each one and me. It was so fun for them and me. Very different trips because they have very different personalities. It was so nice to be able to do whatever each one wanted. We have a lot of fun with the 5 of us also, but one on one trips...

Got back yesterday from 5 nights in the Swan, thank you Marriott points. Just DH and I, ditched the kids with Grandma. Nice hotel, glad we did it once, but not among my favorites though so probably wouldn't go back. Great location, loved being so close to the boardwalk and EPCOT. They are...

I did get the upgrade offer from the no fee Amex Hilton card. Then within a week or so of hitting the MSR for the upgrade to ascend, I had another offer to upgrade to the Aspire. Which I was going to ignore due to the fee, until some helpful posters suggested otherwise. :D Maybe I got the...

Slow churners here. I upgraded my personal amex Hilton to ascend and now to aspire. DH opened capitalone venture. Probably going for CIP #2 for him next. I might go for the CIC or CIU next. Also thinking about AA cards, have to do more research. Not just for potential Disney, but DH has...

Congrats on your points. Though when I first started reading this, you sounded so excited that I thought your twitter campaign worked and UR Disney hotels were back. :sad:

I'm not a minivan fan. But we've owned one for years because it's the most practical for large families who do long drives to FL often. But once the kids move out, it's gone. I just like smaller vehicles, I feel like I'm driving a school bus. It is AWD and a beast in the snow though. Far...

I hate car shopping also! But mostly because I don't really care about cars or what I drive. So we have 3 cars, all in DH's name. Can't remember the last time I shopped for one.

Yeah, I can't think of an instance where I'd worry about it. And I'm a natural worrier. But being caught somewhere without a coat in the cold is not one of my fears. :-) My parents retired this year and are slowly making the snowbird transition. I'm flying to FL this weekend to visit them...

I'm with you. No coffee either. I'm also picky.

I'm in New England and have not owned a winter coat in many years. I stay in the warm house, go to the garage to my car. Run (okay, walk fast) into buildings and don't linger out in the cold. I find it uncomfortable to drive in a bulky coat for the few minutes I might be outside. Don't ski...

Also good points. Not I'm back where I started and still have no idea which way I want to go. :rotfl2: It's DH that's going to get the CP next so I'm good there. I use URs for portal travel. We go away for a lot of weekends and use the points for hotels (not brand loyal) and for car rentals...

Good point, I probably should have thought of that...

The 150000 bonus just hit my hilton account, after upgrading the hilton honors card to the ascend. :cheer2: And now there's another 150000 upgrade offer to the aspire. Very tempting, but I'm not sure I want another high fee card at this time. Maybe if I had some plans to stay at a hilton in...

March is a pretty good month for us, DH usually gets (and got it this year) a good sized bonus. So was able to pay off DS braces and put some savings towards our medical deductible and propane funds. I like having money set aside for those two since they both vary during the year and are hard...
