Maybe you’ve used one of these machines; I never have. However, I will be starting soon. If you’re not familiar with what I’m talking about, the Coinstar machines can be found in several locations, usually grocery stores. You can take all that spare change you’ve been emptying out of your pockets and put it in [...]

Another Money Saving Site
Posted in Saving Money on June 19, 2009 |
I came across this site in one of my newsletters today, and it looks pretty interesting. It’s onefrugalchick.com, “the site for all free things”. She lists other sites or locations where you can get free things. One thing that caught my eye, chocolate lover that I am, was this entry from the site: Starting at 9:00 [...]
A New Find For You Cooks
Posted in Good Finds, RSVP PowerUp!, Saving Money on May 25, 2009 |
OK, I admit – I’m not a cook, but I found this today and it looks pretty neat. Advertised as “fun, easy and free“, (note my favorite word, free in there) – it’s a website called SuperCook. The description on the web site says, Supercook is a new recipe search engine that finds recipes you [...]
Save on Printing Costs
Posted in RSVP PowerUp!, Saving Money on May 24, 2009 |
I make a point of not printing anything unless it’s really necessary – I don’t like using the paper, or the ink. Today I needed to print out several pages for an online class I’m taking – and I was reminded again of the value of a software program I’ve been using for many years. [...]

This is a post I’ve been meaning to write for some time; my intention was to research each of the things I’m going to mention and give you a rundown on the features and costs. Well, I’ve still not found the time to do that, so I’m just going to tell you the services I’ve [...]
Discount coupons for web sites

I take several different vitamins daily; one of them is vitamin E. I normally buy it at Sam’s, and I’m just about out, so when I went to Sam’s yesterday I went down the vitamin aisle. The vitamin E they had in stock was not the kind I want (I want d-alpha tocopherol, and they [...]
More interesting new things
Posted in Good Finds, Saving Money on April 17, 2009 |
I’ve been trying to catch up on some of my reading/listening and have come upon some good suggestions. A web site I discovered is very interesting – maybe you’ve been hearing the term “cloud computing“. If not, I predict before too long you will be exposed to this. It seems to be the way things [...]
New additions at the library

I’ve said before what a fan I am of the library, and I visit their site frequently. I spend most of my time looking through what they have to offer in the way of audiobooks to download, and yesterday I was looking through the catalog and noticed lots of new offerings. They are constantly adding [...]
A Travel Info Site to add to your list

I was catching up on listening to some Clark Howard (clarkhoward.com) radio shows, and he mentioned a new travel information site. It’s still a beta, but looks like it’s a good one to add to your sites to check when you’re thinking of taking a trip. It’s insidetrip.com It will allow you to narrow your [...]

You could be pleasantly surprised. Another money saving site that’s one of my personal favorites is [...]
