$99 or more saved again!!

Since my husband has fallen prey to the economic down turn and can be included in the 500,000+ people nationwide in December who lost their job, being thrifty is even more important. So how thankful do you think I am that Jay can work on cars?....Ok, I was totally going make a joke by saying $99 dollars thankful but Jay just came inside to find out about a missing part on the brakes (he is working on my brakes as I blog) on Autozone.com. Now, if my van had been at the shop having the pads changed and the mechanic realized some part of the brake disc hardware was missing, how much would they con me into paying for that $9.00 part plus labor? I guess now I must say his ability to fix cars is priceless! Especially in this economy!!
