FRUGAL TIPS
• To check out a restaurant, try lunch, not dinner. Lunch is about half the price. Portions are smaller, but you can sample the menu at a price that means you can eat out more often.
• Home exchanges are another vacation alternative. Find out mnore at HomeExchange.com or Homelinks.org.
• If you think your internet connection has slowed down, go to speakeasy.net/speedtest. You can test it at this free site.
