19.Some people will do just about anything to save money.And I am one of them.Take my family's last vacation.It was my six-year-old son's winter break from school,and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip.The flight was overbooked,and Delta,the airline,offered us 400perpersonincreditstogiveupourseatsandleavethenextday.IhadmeetingsinNewYork,soIhadtogetback.Butthatdidn'tmeanmyhusbandandmysoncouldn'tstay.Itookmynine-month-oldandtookoffforhome.Thenextday,myhusbandandsonwereofferedmorecreditstotakeanevenlaterflight.Yes,Iencouraged-okay,ordered-themtowaititoutattheairport,to"earn"moreDeltaDollars.Ourtotaltake:1,600.Not bad,huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either.But as a big-time bargain hunter,I know the value of a dollar.And these days,a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks.I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade.I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade:A Consumer Survival Guide.And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth.I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes,clothes for my children,and expensive restaurants.But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut.It keeps its shape longer,and it's the first thing people notice.And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture.Quality lasts.
