You can score tons of great deals online, but along with those deals can come a heaping helping of spam. Yuck right?

You don’t need to put up with spam though. Try this…
Set up a couple email addresses – one for personal use – i.e pals, work stuff, official business, and other important issues. Set up a second that you only use when you buy stuff online. Most online companies will add you to email lists, spam mailings, and more (even if they say they don’t) and you don’t need this junk coming to your personal email.

I got an email about this offer a bit ago and didn’t get around to it today. Blockbuster is giving $10 off $10 and free shipping for previously viewed or new DVDs when you use the code augappreciation through the end of August. If the DVD is under $10, the code is not valid, so you may have to spend a few dollars to find one that works with the code. I bought a cute children’s DVD to add to my Christmas gift pile for $3.

In honor of the Fourth Of July, I have put together a small list of  sites that offer free stuff. Enjoy!

Free Ice Cream

Yesterday I was shopping around online for a book I’d like to read. I’m in the process of catching up with all my work after the holidays, so I’d rather not have to go to the mall for one book. The library has a long waiting list. I checked Amazon, Ebay,and the usual suspects and found a couple of second hand books with very reasonable prices. Then I spied the shipping charge. The book had prices ranging from $3.50 to $7.99 with shipping charges ranging from $7.00 to $15.00.
Pay $10 to $23 for a $7.00 book? I don’t …read more

Visit the Thrifty Mommy blog for the code. Thanks Kelly!

Years ago, when I worked a boring office job, I spent a lot of lunch hours surfing the web. Even then, I was looking for ways to save money and find bargains and free stuff. 7, 8, even 10 years ago, free stuff on the web was really cool. I used to get nice sized samples of makeup, jewelry, office supplies and food just for the asking. Nowadays, the free stuff isn’t always free, and the samples aren’t always worth the effort.
Once I had a child and started working at home, I didn’t have as much time to surf …read more

Is it worth it to enroll in a plan offering free or very low cost Internet access? While your wallet says “yes” many people who use these services say “no.”
Most free Internet plans are for dialup access. The reason they’re free is because they want you to view advertisements. So while you’re typing or surfing, ads are flashing all around you. It’s rather annoying. You can turn off the advertisements, but after a certain period of time, you’ll be booted off the network.

If money is an issue, sure, you can enjoy limited access with a free Internet connection. If …read more
