  and how incredibly fitting is it that the cover story featuring the stock photo of this "penny jar" is on the topic of "The New Frugality". I hope Time included in their story the fact that the cover photo only cost them $30 to acquire to accentuate the point.

  I posted this a few weeks ago, and sadder still are the comments on his flicker site congratulating him for his sale!
  The poor guy didn't even get a photo credit, or a free magazine for a tear sheet!
