Save Money With a DING

I learned several years ago -- from my then college girls -- how to save on airline tickets, specifically Southwest Airlines.  They taught me to set up a DING on the Southwest web site by entering some basic information such as name, email address and areas of the country that I travel to frequently. Two of my girls live in Tempe, AZ so that is where I wanted to go and they love coming home to Texas for the holidays.   They also taught me that I should only book Southwest tickets on Tuesday, a day they post their cheapest fares.

Now each Tuesday of the week, I get my DING from Southwest promoting "Click and Save".  The best prices are INTERNET ONLY bookings.  That works.

Several months ago I booked a trip to Phoenix to see my girls and celebrate my youngest daughter's up-coming 21st Birthday.  Since booking the flight, I continue to get my Tuesday morning DING and each Tuesday I go in and check to see if the fares to Phoenix lowered any.  To my amazement better deals popped up this past Tuesday and I found a way to get credit on the tickets I previously purchased.  Really cool because I can use the credit for the kiddos to fly home during the holidays.  

This is money saving information all my family, friends and followers need to know.  Feel free to contact me on a quick tutorial on how to capture the credit by using your confirmation number.  Really easy but does require some instruction.

I can't wait to see my girls.

Off-Menu Burgers, Austin Style


This is an off-beat hamburger joint in East Austin -- Your Mom's Burger Bar!  I love good, even mediocre hamburgers, but this place sounds too good to be true.  I do believe I will try some of their creations at home, but I will have to invite some -- not so traditional buddies as taster testers.

Located at 1701 East Cesar Chavez Unit B. on the corner of Chalmers Ave. and East Cesar Chavez in Austin, TX. Watch for me at lunch.
