Great Prices Here

In all likelihood, when you go shopping for the big ticket items you do your research carefully, compare prices, look for the discounts and take your time making up your mind. Do you do the same for your everyday shopping as well, your grocery and other daily requirements? You should give that equal consideration, because this can also save you a significant amount of money, if you shop smart! Coupons on the internet give you the convenient option of simply printing out the coupon that you need.

There are many sites devoted to coupons and other rebates that are available online, so that at this rebate site, you simply fill in your zip code and press ‘go’ for all the rebates and coupons available in your area. So when I filled in a New York zip code I was redirected to this site which has coupons related to all manner of items: clothes, food and dining, groceries, home and garden, health, books, pets, travel, sport etc.

Restaurant.com is a site that helps you find rebates on eating out. By feeding your zip code, you find a restaurant of your choice within the given radius (one to thirty miles etc). You can also purchase and give dining out gift certificates, for $10 you get a $25 gift certificate. You can buy, customize and email or print and personally gift a certificate from this site.

Registering here claims to gives you access to over 70 deals and over $150 in savings! Sample offers on this site include, savings on frozen vegetables, buy a chocolate bar and get one free etc. This site offers links to all kinds of grocery coupons for little savings: $1 off on turkey bacon, $5 off on a floral bouquet etc. Cool savings is also a site devoted to saving you money, which will send you daily emails about their offers. Walmart, Betty Crocker, Target, Pampers are some of the brands that they offer coupons for. So next time you go shopping, remember to print some coupons and take along with you!

I exhausted my HP printer ink cartridge today. So, of course, the bargain hunter that I am, I decided there just has to be a better option than buying cartridges from HP or BestBuy at their price. I chanced upon a really great website.

This website can help any office or home owner with a good use for their printer a lot of money. InkjetDeals.info lists a number of stores that sell good quality Inkjet cartridges at a small fraction of the cost of the original. To top that, they also provide coupon and discount codes for these stores that help you avail an even lower price. You could get a further discount or save on shipping. So overall, you could get an ink cartridge that is as good at about 20 - 30% of the price of the original.

I found the best code for myself. An All Ink Coupon Code giving a 15% discount on any order of any amount. That’s the one I used to order my stock.

Another plus is their section on Printer related articles where they give you Ink Saving Tips and help with Troubleshooting Printers. For instance, did you know that when the cartridge is apparently empty, you should take it out and sway it a bit? This helps you use the last bit of ink. I tried it with my printer cartridge (the one I had exhausted) and it did print some more pages before dying out completely. They also have a section telling you about the top 6 brands of printers.

Finding sites like these really makes my day. If any of you come across other sites that offer great stuff for a low price, please let me know and make my day!

A quick note. Just came across this site that has a special offer for the summer. They are offering free shipping on their Patio Furniture until the 23^rd of May. That’s a saving of $100 - $150 on any set. They have a great range at wholesale prices, which is now even more inviting with this offer.

I was already in love with this bedroom set from their site. I hope they have a sale on their platform beds next. Also worth checking out is their collection of recliners.

If you find any other furniture sites offering discounts, do leave me a comment.

Can the need for regular backup of important data ever be overemphasized? People tend to take backups lightly. I used to do the same thing, until the day my hard drive crashed around last October and I lost a lot of important data. That day I swore to backup all my data every 15 days. I did that religiously for a few months. Now I think it’s been about 25 days since my last backup and my cabinet is overflowing with dated CDs and DVDs.

I thought the idea of online backup would make much better sense. Moreover, since the data would be available to me wherever I may be. I would not be hampered by having to carry DVDs and external hard drives. I looked around for a low cost solution and I found something even better. I found a free one. IDrive offers free Online Backup facilities for upto 2 GB of space for personal use. For requirements beyond that, there is a very affordable fee of USD 4.95 per month (or USD 49.50 per year) for unlimited storage space (read conditions on site) for personal use. There is a different package for Business Users with Storage space options of 50, 100 and 500 GB. The costs here are very competitive as well.

I have just finished backing up all my files, including the files of this blog. The entire process was pretty simple. Have a long way to go before I exhaust my 2 GB of free space. So I’m good with the free account for the time being. You can give it a shot too and save yourself a lot of potential trouble.

If you have kids, then read on you will relate to this and find this useful. If on the other hand you don’t have kids, read on, for one day you may. When you shop for kids, these are some handy tips to keep in mind:

Don’t take them along: if you have the luxury of being able to do so, keep the kids as home when you go shopping for them. Less distraction, and less likelihood of coming home with a lot of attractive looking useless stuff that you were tantrum-suckered into buying. If you have gone shopping with kids you will know how difficult it is to keep little fingers from picking up sweets, bright toys and other junk and how tiring it is to have to keep fishing items out of the shopping cart and returning them to the shelves.

Join or check Yahoo groups: I have found yahoo groups to be a source of great information about all kinds of things, such as product reviews, bargains, great deals etc. You can join one of like minded people who share their experiences with different brands, great deals that they found etc. For instance there is the mommy community where women are encouraged to “network and experience sisterhood thru chats, sharing of stories, tips, ideas, advice, goals, opportunities and inspiration.”

Kids Consignment Sales: This is a site that has a lot to offer if you are shopping for children. Parents know how fast children outgrow things, not just clothes but also strollers, car seats, bouncers and things like that. Seasonal consignment sales is a sort of exchange opportunity for both sellers and shoppers. These sales set up shop for a weekend or a few days more in the spring and fall. Some sales also offer a holiday sale around December that specializes in toys and holiday clothes. You may be able to find clothing, baby gear, toys, children’s furniture, maternity and postpartum items. Perhaps you can find branded items like Baby Gap, Ralph Lauren, Gymboree, Abercrombie, Peg Perego, Pottery Barn, Britax etc.

Buy for next year: Wait for the sales and buy on discount even if the clothes are a bit big to fit right away. They will fit next year if not now, nothing is going get wasted! So keep an eye open for the clearances and remember, clothes as also toys don’t spoil! Like I tell my significant other, if kids weren’t so expensive to bring up, maybe we’d have one or two more!
