Vacation time!

As you might have noticed I was on vacation this last week..... Sorry for this small absence but I just went on a little unplanned vacation.

As a cheap bastard that I am, I tool advantage of my own saving tips. This goes without saying that I bring to you some new saving tips.

SOOO, this went on like this.

FIRST I signed up to this cupon site, GROUPON, they had this great suggestion of a 2, 3 ou 5 nights for 2,3 or 5 persons on a house (not saying where) on a beautifull place.

So went on a trip with some people, friends, those kind of friends you'd consider family! Sometimes, especially when you don't have much money to spend the company is a crucial choice, you can sometimes go on a walk all day and don't even notice the time pass or your feet swelling!!

Well I brought a big group so that the gas bill would bit split in more! Once again you are going to spend gas but you can make it more efficient:



Well the saving part was done. The rest was just having as much fun as we could. Wtih the meals already paid for there was not much to worry about.


If you have any more suggestions... comment section is below ;)

Hot topic: FUEL!

Had really good feedback on my fuel savings post! It seems to me that post is in flames xD

Thanks to Eddie Rod for the vid suggestion
check is blog
Dream Act For Dummies or Republicans


 from the vid the last suggestion is that you mix a little of pure acetone no your fuel in the tank.. guess it has to be really in small amounts or it possibly will do more damage and make your maintenance cost go up
 (go to youtube user kipkay for more cool stuff)

(his blog BEER! I'll tell you why it's awesome!)
this guy had another tipo that I forgot to post..
"Don't forget to predict what's in front of you  Try to minimize braking. Every little bit counts"
that's is comment and the thing is... if you see - p.e.-  the guy in front of you braking, take the foot of the gas pedal.. So the car will slowdown for itself. You save the brakes and the fuel by not adding more accelaration
