Economical Vacation - With gas prices out the kazoo, many individuals are not only parking their vacation and holiday plans, they are literally parking their vehicles.

It's absolutely ridiculous - and if the politicians & media has given you the impression that we should be thankful because our fuel prices aren't anywhere near the high prices being experienced in some parts of the world, let's get real!

We get ditto.

Nonetheless, if you're feeling the price at the pumps in more ways than one, we have a few suggestions that might double as a  vacation.

Taking the Humble Sandwich from Pauper to Prince - If you're the a-typical American, we'd be willing to bet that your kitchen pantry isn't stocked with exotic ingredients such as goat cheese, stuffed Greek olives, lobster and so forth.

On that note, here are a few of our favorite inexpensive recipes that can take your humble sandwich from pauper to prince. continue
