I have gotten tons of feedback about today's story on tap water vs. bottled water.

I couldn't include everyone in the story and as I'm still getting new e-mails with tips and reasons daily I decided to include some of the other comments I've been getting here.

Feel free to leave your on comments and reasoning about why you like tap water or bottled water better.

Are you a coupon shopper?

Do you use coupons to get savings at the grocery store?

If so you might want to check out this article in the Baltimore Sun.

You might find it especially interesting if you often use coupons you print from the Internet. Some stores won't accept them.

Have any of you had your coupons rejected at local grocery stores?

What's coming up: Free ice cream

So this week's excellent freebie is ice cream from Friendly's.

On Saturday you can stop by certain Friendly's (the list of participating stores is at the end of the post) from noon to 5 p.m. and get a free cone or dish of your favorite flavor.

How close is $4 gas?

Everyone asks that question in terms of "when" it will happen, like how close it is on the calendar. But it also matters how close it is geographically, because most of us drive outside of York County, Pa.

I paid $4.04 at a rest stop on the Pennsylvania Turnpike somewhere between Reading and Philadelphia on Saturday.

Excuse me for a second. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

OK, better now.
