We saved quite a bit of holiday budget to wait for the expected after-holiday sales. That was part of our plan ahead of time. Since then, we have been looking through bargains worth picking up. It’s not about being overly frugal, but simply smart shopping. In fact, we bought a large LCD TV over the holiday. We also sold or gave away some stuff on Craigslist to those who can need some stuff more than we do. As consumers, we are all trying to make do and get as much as possible for each dollar spent. Lately my family and I have been doing more research before buying anything, and have also done more online shopping and looked harder for better deals. As mentioned previously, we have not stopped spending, however. One of the online sites we have found to be useful is: http://www.uberi.com They do have some interesting bargains listed that are not available even on price search engines. We were able to get more for each dollar. Hope that's useful info for some. Shopping strategy makes a difference and timing certainly does.

It costs only $4.50 a month to have the card. They have posted their prescription prices on the website to check before you enroll. I think that RxDrugCard.com is the best drug card available for prescription discounts. No-one should have to pay the full cash price.

Everyone will pretty much need to purchase cartridges so...I came across information through a business customer and looked further into it. Here is what I found, " Over 700 million cartridges were thrown away world-wide in 2003 - and since more and more people use inkjet cartridges this amount will continue to grow year after year. Empty cartridges contain residual toner powder, ink, a plastic casing, aluminum and other parts. These parts are all non-biodegradable and they will take more than 1000 years to decompose in landfill sites. The remanufacturing of cartridges as an alternative to producing new ones currently reduces world demand of oil by 300,000 barrels and saves 17,000 tons of aluminum as well as 10,000,000 tons of timber. Besides helping to reduce carbon emissions, a major cause of global warming, it conserves resources and reduces waste. 1.5 pints of crude oil are needed to produce one cartridge. In the last 6 months alone inkjet cartridge recycling has saved more than 50 million liters of oil, more than the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska's Prince William Sound in 1989." Wow, so my whole point is this client twotonellc.com remanufacturers ink and toner cartridges and considering the above information it only makes common sense to buy remanufactured ink and toner cartridges. You save money, get a higher yield (more prints) and save the environment. Here’s something that is so easy and makes so much sense.

I never thought of that one, either. I was pleased to see that our family does most of the things on the list already. We live very frugally and it has made a huge difference in our lives. We don't feel deprived either. Not only do we buy used but you'll find us turning around and selling those used items on ebay. In fact, we bought a used baby bjorn carrier for our daughter on ebay. My wife found a nicer one at a thrift store for $1.99. We turned around and sold the other one for what we paid for it! Now, THAT'S insurance for brighter financial future.
