4 sneaky ways to save big on a spring trip!

Snag the lowest airfare

Flying to your destination and want to be sure you're getting the lowest ticket price? Plan to fly on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. A review of domestic airfare prices by Google Flights reveals that these weekdays are 20% cheaper than flying on a weekend. "Flight pricing is all about supply and demand," says Kyle Potter, executive editor of travel and flight deal website ThriftyTraveler.com. Since more families go on vacation at the end of the week, airlines cut prices on earlier weekdays to fill seats. To save more: Once you find a great fare, book it, then take a day to look around for a better deal. Airlines must give you either 24 hours to cancel a flight or allow you to put a 24-hour "hold" on fares when you book at least seven days in advance of your departure. Notes Potter: "So, as long as you cancel within 24 hours of booking, you can get a full refund."

The Mary Tyler Moore SHOW

From That Girl in the 1960s to Ally McBeal in the 1990s to Sex and the City in the 2000s, television has long reflected the shifting image of independent women. Yet the true game-changer came in 1970, when The Mary Tyler Moore Show introduced Mary Richards—30, single, stylish and making her way in a newsroom full of men. Rather than being someone’s wife or daughter, she was the star, and she changed television forever. Join us for a look back at rare behind-the-scenes photos of the groundbreaking show as we celebrate its 55th anniversary.

Happy money, happy holidays

The holidays are here (yay!), and with them comes both joy and, let's be honest, stress. For many of us, the shopping lists, entertaining costs or the ache of an empty chair at the table can dim the sparkle of the season. If that's you, please accept my wishes that the days land lightly.
