The Dollar Wise Blog is up at the Dallas Morning News
November 15th, 2008 | by mbhunter |At the beginning of this week DallasNews.com, the website of the Dallas Morning News newspaper, began the Dollar Wise Blog as a “conversation about the best and most creative ways to save a buck in tough times.”
The posts so far are quick reads, with a good mix of general-interest posts, such as the merits of $3 wine, and Texas-specific posts, like scoring cheap gas in McKinney, a city 30 miles north of Dallas. Overall it looks like the writers have a breezy tone, which is great. They’re helping their readers through the slump with tips on getting back to the basics of saving money.
I found out about the Dollar Wise Blog in a really cool way: through my traffic stats. It turns out they have Mighty Bargain Hunter in their sidebar already, which is a great honor! They also have linked to several other great reads including Wise Bread and Frugal Dad, and a few others that are going promptly into my feed reader.
So I encourage you to check out the Dollar Wise Blog, especially if you live around Dallas because they’ll have a lot of good ideas especially for you. I’ll offer one of my own: Restaurant.com has almost 100 restaurants in their network within 15 miles of Dallas, and through Monday, November 17th, you can get 70% off their popular Dining Certificates and their Dinner of the Month Club by using coupon code DESSERT. This means that $25 worth of Dining Certificates costs only $3 instead of $10. So check out Restaurant.com and see if one of your favorite restaurants is in the network!
** This coupon has expired, but check my coupon code page to see if there’s a fresh one! **
