NO MORE FREE BAGS ON SOUTHWEST
Checking the first bag at Southwest will now cost $35 and $45 for the second piece of luggage. Members in the A-List tier of its Rapid Rewards loyalty program, holders of its branded credit card or those traveling on a business fare will be exempt from the charges.
Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and United Airlines also charge between $35 to $40 for the first checked bag. Others, like JetBlue Airways and Frontier Airlines, charge different fees depending on various factors including if it’s purchased online or departure date.
Southwest collected $83 million in baggage fees in 2024, according to Department of Transportation statistics while American Airlines collected $1.5 billion, United made $1.3 billion and Delta $1 billion.
The move will make Southwest more profitable. Or will it? Many passengers booked flights with Southwest just to take advantage of the free bags. Now that the playing field is even, they could lose business.
CHEAP NEW CARS
Looking for a new car, but on the cheap?
The cheapest cars to drive, according to iSeeCars.com:
Mitsubishi Mirage (average new price: $18,281)
Kia Rio (average new price: $18,553)
Chevrolet Spark (average new price: $16,982)
Nissan Versa (average new price: $19,250)
Mitsubishi Mirage G4 (average new price: $19,355)
Kia Soul (average new price: $22,197)
Toyota Corolla (average new price: $23,349)
Chevrolet Malibu (average new price: $28,637)
Hyundai Accent (average new price: $18,720)
Nissan Sentra (average new price: $23,045)
The methodology for this study included analyzing odometer readings from over one million three-year-old cars. The models listed are the cheapest cars to drive based on average annual mileage and new car prices. So, the starting MSRP’s of vehicles are a factor in their placing on the list, but not the only determining factor.
One caveat. Some of the above cars are no longer being sold as new. They include the Mitsubishi Mirage, Kia Rio, and Chevrolet Spark

SMARTSOURCE COUPON INSERTS END
Sad news. SmartSource decided to end its production of coupon inserts. This year they barely had any inserts and now they made it official to end the inserts. That leaves Save as the only major coupon insert company still putting them in newspapers and even theirs is sporadic.
Most companies are putting their efforts into digital coupons. The problem is that having to click on digital coupons for every store shopped is very time consuming. It’s hard to remember which coupons were clipped too. A paper coupon is easy to match up with a purchased item.
There are also hidden problems with digital coupons. I had a conversation with a Giant Eagle customer service rep after a couple of my digital coupons didn’t trigger after I bought the qualifying items. She said it happens a lot. I know about how much my bill will be so I know when it’s off, but that’s a hassle having to check my receipt and then the item I bought and then check online to make sure it was the right size, item, amount, etc. With a paper coupon all I have to do is hand over to the cashier and they will instantly show whether it’s accepted or not. So check your receipts to make sure all qualifying digital coupons were triggered.
Another weird thing happened. When I went to the register I realized I hadn’t scanned my card. However, they said I did. I thought the digital coupons didn’t trigger because I didn’t scan the card, so it made sense, but it showed scanned. I distinctly remember not doing so because the cashier smelled horribly and it threw me off so I move further down the line to get away from the smell. Maybe his smell was so bad it zapped my memory and I did scan the card, but I could’ve sworn I didn’t.
