Southwest Airlines is having a promotion that won’t last long: If you buy a flight by April 5 to fly anytime before May 24, you will receive a “companion pass” that will allow you to bring someone with you anytime you fly between Aug. 15 to Sept. 30, 2023. There are some caveats to know though.

Recently, I found myself in possession of a pathetic amount of groats. Not enough to make a snack, but enough to feel wasteful if it met the trash can. Although this small conundrum was frustrating at first, I ended up with a “when life gives you lemons’’ discovery. It turns out you can make better cookies by giving…

You probably learned to tie your shoes as a kid and haven’t given the method of tying a second thought since then. But if your shoes are always coming untied, maybe we should revisit that shoe-tying lesson. You see, there are two ways to tie the standard shoelace knot, and only one of them will hold reliably

I’m a big McMuffin enjoyer, but I grew up in a sausage biscuit family. We’d get them from McDonald’s every Christmas morning (because they were open), but the best sausage biscuits came from the gas station (which is also where you’ll find the best fried chicken). It is, after all, a simple sandwich, best purchased…

It’s a bad day when you don’t get those concert tickets you had your heart set on. It’s arguably a worse day if you get scammed and your personal information gets stolen. It is definitely the worst day if both of those things happen at once—as they did to some 16,000 victims of ticketing scams from January 2022 to…

April is the busiest month so far this year for class action lawsuits. From data breaches at major companies to chemicals on undergarments, there are plenty of payouts to claim for those who qualify.

A breakfast burrito is a commitment. Depending on where you buy it from or how you make it, you could end up consuming eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, hash browns, cheese, beans, and/or rice, all wrapped up in a giant flour tortilla. It’s a perfect hungover weekend brunch, but a bit ambitious for a workday morning. A…

French onion soup knows how to treat an onion right, and pairs it with two excellent companions: cheese and bread. This appetizer is a celebration of that soup, and uses all of the usual components, but eliminates the broth. Whatever you want to call it—“deconstructed” or a “crostini”—it’s going to be your next…

While student loans are the talk of the town, anyone with a college-bound kid knows how crucial scholarships are to cut down on that loan amount in the first place. Scholarships play a major role in affording college; a 2022 report from Sallie Mae found that 60% of families relied on scholarships to pay tuition.

Have you ever frozen up after someone asks you, “What is your favorite show?” Or, “What music do you like best?” I have. It’s a simple question, but instead of the ice-breaking taste-exchange they expect, my conversational partner gets me saying, “hmmm,” while thoughtfully stroking my beard for 18 minutes as I weigh…

A fake website is a scammer’s attempt to seem like a reputable business, when in reality, they don’t actually provide any goods or services: Their “business” is to trick you into thinking they do, and to get you to pay for it. There are different types of fake websites to be aware of: those that try to mimic a…
