We are driving down simply because we have three weeks, and I love a good road trip! We're staying at military installations on the way (cheap, often $20/night for a decent to nice room), or tenting (again on military campgrounds if one is close by where we plan to stop for the night). We are also tent camping on Disney (not the cheapest but it's reasonable compared to the hotels and we can cook most of our meals at the campsite, and you get the added bonuses associated with staying on Disney property).

I've done a lot of research and have picked up some great tips, but always looking for more! We leave this Saturday so the count down is on!! :) ]]> Frugality Addy http://canadianmoneyforum.com/showthread.php/15718-Frugal-Disney-World http://canadianmoneyforum.com/showthread.php/15677-Where-can-I-find-discounted-sunglasses?goto=newpost Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:59:57 GMT I invested in nice sunglasses back in 2007, RayBans that went for ~$200.

They last until the previous week when my son man-handled them, now they are all bent out of shape. I've been looking for new glasses but all the shades I like at Sunglass Hut, Hudson's Bay etc run $250-400, and I'm thinking there might be somewhere to buy brand name shades at a lower price point without the risk of buying knock-offs.

Anyone have any suggestions? If not I'll just suck it up and pay a few hunny again, they did last 5+ years, but rather save a few bucks if I can.

Thanks,

It tasted good - the lentils just bulked up the sauce. Cheap too! If you like whole wheat pasta, Safeway has something called Eating Right (I think that is what it is called) it is a larger size then the Catelli brand and cheaper.
