The Average Cost Of Thanksgiving Dinner Has Gone Up Since Last Year
Jenn Frederick's Turkey Day Tips And Tricks

This morning ( Monday ) we're giving you an EXPERTS' advice on how to live better for less.   I am NO expert, however, I have a piece of advice too.

This weekend I cashed in thousands of AMERICAN EXPRESS points for gift cards.  Old Navy and the Home Deport were my two big targets.  You know... for your brother who lives in California... uncle who is is always working on the yard.. nieces and nephews who ALWAYS return what you get for them anyway.    I also ordered some Pottery Barn cards for myself...  this time of year we are all running out for fancy candles and extra serving dishes .. this way I can do it FOR FREE !!

I am told that gift cards are being labeled THE WORST present of 2008 because the stores may go out of business in 2009. ( the financial crisis and all) However, if Old Navy goes out of business ... well... if Old Navy goes out of business than at least I helped them extend the run.  ( love those fleece hoodies.. don't you?)

BTW - I HAVE NOW FINISHED half OF MY HOLIDAY SHOPPING... and I have only paid the service charges for the cards.  ( amex didn't have a TOYS R US  or AMAZON option..darn it! )

Some advice from me to you... and remember to join our FOX29 MOM SQUAD .

FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME SOME SAVING ( CHEAP-O) TIPS BELOW !!!

There is a movie coming out based on the book TWILIGHT.

More importantly, there is a guy ( hunky actor guy) named Robert Pattinson who is the focus of the real-life drama. Pattinson has been touring the country promoting the film and the ladies who are arriving at the malls to see him are causing quite a stir. ( one mall had to cancel it's event because the chaos was too much to bear)

Pattinson will appear on Thursday at the King of Prussia mall... it promises to have a plan in place to control the craziness. FOX 29 will sit down with Pattinson and interview him about every bit of the excitement... not at the mall ( secret secret location of course...)

Here's where you come in... Is Robert Pattinson on your 'must meet' list?

Did you know anything about this guy or this movie before now? ( SUE SERIO DID !! )

Do you think he looks like Chase Utley?
