Best Buys this Month

Summer Air travel is at its lowest rates for June and July this month (book midweek, on Tuesdays or Wednesdays for best rates), Cruises are often a good price now also.  Flea Markets are good now with uncooperative weather you will probably have smaller crowds allowing for more bargaining potential.  This is supposed to be a good month to purchase a laptop and big screen TV's so if you are in the market check out pricing.  Should see Running Sneakers at good prices now.  Don't forget to look for specials on tax day to help alleviate any pain the day causes.
