A recent example : Offer: Sony 65 inch 16:9 HDTV ...Ratio: 16:9 HDTV Compatible: Y Height: 59.7 inches Width: 60.7 inches Depth: 28.9 inches Weight: 299.8 pounds We just bought a 3D version and have no use for this one now. Perfect for Super Bowl! I’m sometimes surprised by the largess of Freecycle offerers. A recent example :

The Internet and forums like this provides a lot of valuable information. Small changes can yield a lot! Although I may not want or need some shirts, I like the concept of freecycling.

You and your husband have a most helpful blog. Actually, we have a 10 lb sheltie! I think we have been overpaying for the frontline! Advantage is 4-6$/monthly dose cheaper and gets better reviews on petmed's site, too. I was not aware of the winter/summer issues either, we do not have extreme weather here (D.C. area), but I will be sure to ask my vet about that too. Thanks very much, -FF DW-

I'm guessing by that price range you have a much larger dog than we do. Our pug is only 25-26 lbs, so his med are cheaper. we use advantage which is about $44/box at the vet and around $46 available at all pet stores. His heartworm is Heartguard Plus which is about $46/year. You might notice the box of advantage is only 4 doses but when we got his vaccinations at a mobile clinic at the pet store, they threw in two free with each box we purchased, so was a bit cheaper than the 12 would have been. Also depending on your climate, some vets tell you that you don't need it in mid summer (100 degrees) or winter (arctic chills). We also use 1-800-petsmeds and I've looked for a few things for him on google and found a few online shops that are cheaper or have sales.

I'm spending $200-250/yr on Frontline and Interceptor, which I'm told are essential by my vet. My dog's health is very important to myself and my wife, I'm just wondering how you work this into your budget or if you've found some secret generic alternatives, because after all, that's almost half a year of hockey, right? Thanks for your time, Keep up the good work, FF Jacob,

Freecycle sounds like a very worthwhile concept that I will check out. One of my favorite lines is “Best of all it was free” like when I get baseball tickets given to me.
