Welcome to another Link Round-up edition. This is the Physical Fitness edition in honor of the bloggers’ weightloss challenge being sponsored by Baker over at Man vs. Debt .

PECO, the Philadelphia Energy Company, merged with Unicom of Chicago to form Exelon. Like most energy/utility companies, residents of Philadelphia do not have much of a choice as to who they choose. PECO is their choice. Orrr.. you could always go with PECO, they are a viable alternative. Did I mention PECO is pretty competitive with them, too?

The first step is to know exactly how much money you have to spend, and to take that amount with you in cash . If you instead rely on a debit or credit card, you might be tempted to spend more than you’ve allotted. Another important point: Don’t skimp
