Monday October 27 at 7:45 AM on NE Cable News, the Frugal Yankee shares tips!


Here are a few money saving tips.
• You've heard this one, but it deserves repeating. Check your tire pressure. With the change to cold weather, the air volume WILL decline as the days get cooler.

• After you've carved your pumpkin, rub the cut surfaces with petroleum jelly. It'll slow down the decay. Be sure to check our site. We've got a bunch of Halloween tips.

• Instead of using paper towels, use old dish towels or pieces of worn bath towels. When they get dirty, you wash them. Paper towels just add more to land fills.

You can find out more at our web site FrugalYankee.com or go directly to our DAILY TIPS page.
