Saving You Money
Believe it or not, Halloween spending is expected to hit $8 billion. One way to recoup a little of that cash is to sell some of that candy. Several area dentists participate in what's known as a candy buy back. You can take in the candy you don't want and make money on it. To find a dentist near you, go to Fox17.com, click on FOX LINKS and look for CANDY BUY BACK. Dentists then send the candy to Operation Gratitude, which is packed up and sent to U.S. troops overseas.
As we use more energy during cold weather, don't forget to take little steps to save. Turning off your tv and other appliances is great, but unplugging them is even better. That's because standby power or "vampire power" as it's called, keeps the appliance or electronic ready and waiting for you to use it. It can cost the average household $200-$600 a year. That's scary!
