Memorial Day Savings

Many people think of Memorial Day weekend as a time to spend money because so many businesses have big Memorial Day sales.  I’m actually not planning on spending any money this weekend, other than a little on food and beer for a barbecue : )

However, for all of you hitting the Memorial Day sales, here are some articles on shopping and saving money. Our local TV and radio have been full of ads for big car sales this weekend so I included several on buying, selling, maintaining an automobile.

I also added in a few on college graduation because there are many graduation parties going on over the holiday weekend and I thought I’d point out some money tips for those graduating seniors.
