The first new issue in March of your Thrifty Nickel is out today. Of course you should all know by now that you can read the entire paper online thanks to http://ourthriftynickel.com/PDFs/newspaper.pdf. If you have an extreme dislike of using computers than you can still pick up an issue at almost any newsstand across the Permian Basin. (Although if you really don’t like computers and the Internet that much then why would you be reading this online blog in the first place?)

Remember that daylight savings time starts this weekend! Saturday night the time will spring forward and we’ll all lose an hour of sleep. So don’t forget to set those clocks ahead before bed if you have somewhere to be Sunday morning.

Need a good deal on a new car but don’t have big bucks to spend? Then head on over to Sewell We Finance at 2440 E. 8th Street in Odessa. They carry the note so you won’t have to worry about your credit. If you don’t have enough cash for a down payment then just bring in your W2 for a down payment, don’t wait Sewell has certified tax professionals on site!
