Read The Summer Hideaway with us!
As you might have seen our book club has started up again and is currently reading The Summer Hideaway by Susan Wiggs. (Don’t have a copy yet? You can pick one up at your local Walmart.)

The cost of birth control can really add up, especially if you don’t have insurance. Among the women I know, some spend $10 a pop while others shell out $40 a month for theirs. That’s anywhere from $120 to $480 a year—no small chunk of change! Knowing this inspired me to see if any contraception companies offer coupons. I was surprised to find out that some do:![hair-dye[1]](http://dailysavings.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/hair-dye1.jpg?w=200&h=142 "hair-dye[1]")
