Do you feel guilty when you turn down the “extended warranty” on that electronic item you just purchased? Don’t.
So you looked online and compared prices and went to 3 different stores and you finally found it on sale and at a price you could live with. But are you going to purchase an extended warranty? That is always the question and we always have to make that decision. Well I have already made that decision before I get there and you should too.
Woot it up! I like saving money and making money, and I like gadgets! I have found a good place to get some bargain prices on gadgets. http://www.woot.com/. Woot usually has one item a day and it is released at 12 midnight. Sometimes there is a limit so there is a cult following that logs in at midnight to woot every night to see what the item of the day is. They also post comments, and usually these people know whether the item of the day is any good or not. It is a fun place to check on now and then, to see if you can get a good deal on something.
So I promised to give you a couple of links to a great way to browse Craigslist. And here they are. These are pretty cool, and make it much easier to page through the tons of things for sale. Also, many people like myself want to see a picture of the item, and ads without pictures are of little interest to me anyway. Give it a try. I like the byebyelist site the best.http://www.listpic.com/
This is something that’s in the news a lot lately and really more so around the Christmas season. People being overweight. Many times people resolve to just change by going on a diet, especially with a New Year’s resolution. But being overweight ( and obese) is sometimes not something that can be cured with a diet alone. That is why some people are looking to medical science to help them. This is where the Lap Band comes in. weight loss Woodlands specializes in Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding which is also known as LAGB or the LAP BAND System procedure. This is important because it is vastly different than the old ‘gastric bypass’ method, and far less invasive. You might ask what this has to do with making money or saving money. Well I will tell you. A person may not enjoy the things money can buy, when they have an obesity problem. Many people just need some help in getting control over this part of their life. weight loss Woodlands can help.
Well I heard a story on the news last evening about how you can look at a price tag and often learn a little about the item such as whether it is on sale or likely to go down further in price, etc. It was a story about Sam’s Club. I thought it was very interesting and was about to write about it here, when I came across an excellent post by a fellow blogger who has already done this. Imagine that!
The Consumerist edited by BEN POPKEN looks to be an excellent resource. The particular article is here , and be sure to read the comments which contain a lot of information.
For all your Christmas shopping, you will likely be going to Amazon.com, at least to look around. I don’t buy too much from there, but I occasionally sell some old books on there. It is also a really good site to sell and buy used textbooks, ( but I will save that for another post). Anyway, did you know that there is a secret that will help you avoid paying shipping?
If you go there at all, you know that shipping is free if you buy $25.00 worth. Well, if you need a few things to help you over the $25.00 mark, search for “filler items” in the search bar. That will take you to a ton of little cheap things that you can probably use anyway.
