The $400 price tag may be too bitter to swallow, but if you’re an avid reader, you should consider it. Most newly released books are only $9.99, so you’re saving money with each purchase.

Every once in a while, Yahoo! Finance has an article that spurs me to action. Take a look at 8-Last-Minute-Ways-to-Save-for-Your-Vacation. While most of the article contains advice we hear regulary, the third item is unusual and something Sarah would do without hesitation:
