Deals for a Dollar, Red Cross Blood Drive + Plus Tickets To See Country-Singer Josh Turner!

Our thrifty listeners let us in on some of the items they were able to find for one dollar.  

Some listeners were lucky enough to get a car or a home from a family member for just a dollar.  Others got some great steals and deals at stores. XXX for instance, went to a store to buy a mini fridge.  The sign said 99.99, but when the cashier rang it up, it was only .99!  That's a cool deal!
