Did you know about the fees for high school?
I was lamenting a few weeks back about all the fees colleges add on to tuition. Now the public high schools are loading on more and more fees as they encounter more and more cutbacks. I have spent a considerable amount in the past three weeks on club fees, uniforms and fundraisers. They have also added extra-curricular fees. Now we got a call saying that Juniors also have to pay a fee to take the PSAT!

Did You Know You Might Have to Pay to Have It Your Way?
Did you know you might have to pay to "have it your way"?
When I was a kid, I remember Burger King had the advertising slogan "Have It Your Way". As an adult consumer, I now realize just how important that is. Recently, I have noticed that I sometimes have to pay small fees to "have it my way". Many of these fees seem so senseless to me. For example, last night, I ordered a thin crust pizza from a local pizzaria (not a chain.) I got charged .25 for thin crust. Huh? I got charged for less crust?? A couple months ago, I took my son to an out of town basketball tournament. After one of the games, he wanted a milk shake. We stopped at Sonic and he ordered a chocolate milk shake. We were charged .25 for chocolate! It is a chocolate milkshake for crying out loud!
I am sure there are countless other examples. Many times I do not even notice these small fees. But I am going to start being on the look out now!
