Bookmarked: What I’ve Found Interesting - April 24
Welcome! If you're new here, you may want to check out my about page to find out why I started this blog, and if you like what you see, please consider subscribing to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Here are some of the blog posts I have starred in Google Reader in the last week:
- Get Rich Slowly describes “How to Stop Junk Mail in Its Tracks.” A lot of the steps listed have effectively helped me. Unfortunately, I have not yet found an easy way to take care of the worst offender in my mailbox: charities. No joking - during the last year I have received dozens and dozens of those sheets of personalized labels. I now use a template email to send to each charity I receive a solicitation from, and slowly it has gotten better, but there must be a better way…
- Living the Cheap Life asks “Is it worth it to buy an Entertainment book?.” I have to agree with Mike’s conclusion — the Entertainment book is often a good deal if purchased at a steep enough discount. For me, the movie theater discounts and the 5% American Airlines coupon pay for the book.
- Hustler $$$ Blog tells us how to get a “Free DVD Rental every Monday” using the RedBox DVD Kiosk service. I’ve used them before and it was quite a good deal — unfortunately there isn’t one convenient to me, so I’m sticking with Netflix for now. (If you do use RedBox, be sure to check out their credit card skimmer security alert).
- The Digerati Life has a recent article “Coupon Tips and Tricks That Can Cut Your Grocery Bill By 80%” that has a ridiculously long twenty-five coupon tips to lower your grocery bill. Definitely very interesting reading.
- Finally, No Credit Needed presents how “The $100-A-Day-Rule Prevents Impulse Buying.” It is a simple, but very clever, way to try to fight impulse buying and force careful consideration before purchasing.
