Hello everyone,

I'm a new Online Store owner. I carry a large selection of top name
brands new and refurbish. If there are any similar store owners out
there, I would like to hear from you. If anyone has had the same
problems as I have with sales, knowing how to get their site in the
search engines, etc.
Thank you,
Jan

Most "new" cars are shipped with lower mileage tires but those tires handle
and grip better and are much quieter.

What was the treadlife rating for your tire? Sounds like it was a 360.
My Sebring was shipped with Goodyear Eagle LS that were 360T treadlife
rated. Performance type tire. I got 60 000 Kms from them. My new
Michelins are Harmony/Destiny/X-Radial type. They are rated for 760 or 130
000 kms. More than double the life. But they don't corner as well and
are much noiser than the shorter life tires.

Read up on Treadlife ratings. The Treadlife rating is on your tire.

Of course good brands make short-lived tires too. I once got some
Pirelli tires for my 98 Jetta GLX. Boy did those wear out fast. I
guess they were somewhat of a performance tire, also with its V6 engine
the car is somewhat heavier than most cars that use those sized tires.

Retreads used to be a bargain but they are costing more now or so they say.
They only peel off on over loaded and over heated semi trucks, not on cars.

What was the rated life of the tire?? 30K may be what
they were rated for.

Had the alignment checked recently?

Also check the wear pattern. Over or under inflated tires
will wear out faster.

A trick to extending tire life on a front wheel drive car
is to not rotate the tires. On a front wheel drive car
the front tires take most of the wear. Go ahead and let
them wear. Then replace them. But keep the rear tires.

Welcome to the Vista fan club. While my move to Vista was not as frugal
I believe it was worth it to upgrade to a new pc anyway, the last one
was over 6 years old so things were likely to start giving out soon. I
find Vista (Home Premium) to be a far better os than XP.

I have one of those cheap plastic battery powered sorters I bought for $.50 at a
yard sale. I just drop my coins in it. When a tube fills, I wrap it. Easy,
quick, and no losses.

I do the same thing now. At one time I used to empty my pockets out and
always ended up with a lot of change. Now I make a point of taking
change when I am going out and use it as you describe and have little
accumulation.

I often find that stores are short of change, asking if I have change so that
they don't have to use theirs. They are happy to get some extra.

I'll agree that it's a scam but the idea is not entirely impossible.
You would probably need to get the source material from several
locations. Best would be straight from the studios and broadcasters
in digital form.

Unfortunately, it takes something faster than DSL or other slow
"broadband" connections to be able to receive full resolution video
in real time.

Can anyone tell what the difference is between being frugal and being cheap?
Not Webster's definition, just life in general.

Cheap is being stingy, always going for the cheapest and being rather mean etc too.

Frugal is about best value for money, not necessarily not spending anything, but
spending what you do spend so you get best value, which may not always be the
cheapest, most obviously with stuff that lasts a lot longer even if it costs a bit more.

And there is a sense in which being frugal allows you to indulge yourself at times too.

Good definition.

There's a big wide gray area, where one person's exuberant outpouring
is another person's profligate waste, and one's sensible restraint is
another's joyless miserliness.

Being frugal is when you find ways to save money that would've been wasted
anyway had you spent it.

Being cheap is when you're bored, but instead of just spending a few bucks
to go out and see a movie, you cross-post to misc.consumers.frugal-living
and alt.atheism, hoping to start a flame war.
