I also buy most of my meats at Nicks in Prince Frederick when they are on sale...or Giant, sometimes Walmart.

Another idea is to check with your bank to make sure your not paying a service fee for your checking/savings acct. many ways to avoid that.

A credit union would be a better choice - mine doesn't charge me fees. (Cedar Point Federal Credit Union - and most anyone in the Tri-county area can join)

I down-graded my cell phone plan yesterday. Went from $100/mo to $30/mo.
