A fair Tuesday

I’ll be at the Star Tribune’s Minnesota State Fair booth from 10 a.m. to noon on Tuesday. Stop by, say “hi.” Grab a free ice cream scoop and share your column ideas. If you don’t, I’ll spend my time telling people where to find the bathroom.

Just as I’m boarding the bus back to downtown Minneapolis, the second episode of the Dollar Duo will be live on Startribune.com. This is the new StribTV show featuring Dollars and Sense Columnist John Ewoldt and I dishing on everything from credit cards to coupon clipping to deal-spotting and more. Being on camera is all new to me, but we’re having a good time and hope you find some useful, money-saving tips in each few-minute video.

This week John and I head to the fair and interview the State Fair’s official banker, stop in at the Department of Commerce booth to speak with a foreclosure prevention counselor. John also gives his take on whether those knives that supposedly cut through aluminum are a good deal.
