    Default Great Finds

    Hi, my name's MM and I am a penny-pincher.

    (crowd) Hi, MM!

    Today I bought a pair of brand new hiking boots for $8. Yes, you read that right. $8

    I also realized that I could buy the telescopic stablizing jacks for my travel trailer cheaper locally than online. Not only that, but if I got a Camping World membership, it would give me a Good Sam's membership for only $2, would give me $10 off the price of the jacks, and would give me a $10 coupon (used toward the price of the jacks). So basically, I paid the same price for the jacks as I would have anyway, but came out with a membership to Camping World (which we will use all the time) and Good Sam's for nothin'.

    Yes, I am a miser and I am proud of it!

    Anniversary present. My wife made me get rid of the slide rule and pocket protector.

    I really did take this class in high school. I really did.

    Ken,

    Rick, had told me you voted for Kennedy?

    He fibbed. Ain't never voted for any of 'em.

    On a completely different non-political note, I was a heckuva' swimmer when I was younger, and I tried to swim from Chappaquidick to Edgartown a few times. Near where the Ferry crosses. Current was so strong I just ended up in the harbor everytime. And I was sober. My back was just fine, too.
