One time use credit card numbers

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

If you’re worried about the safety of using a credit card online, many credit card companies will allow you to create a one time use number. You simply log into your online account and get the number. Directions will vary according to your credit card, but the number can only be used once and your real credit card number stays safe and is never revealed online.

It’s a great option for anyone skittish about shopping online.

How to get the most from summer clearance sales

Monday, August 13th, 2007

dollar_20sign.jpgAs summer comes to an end, you can snag some really good bargains online. If you know where to look and what to look for, you will find yourself saving money and wondering why you haven’t been doing this for years!

What’s on sale right now?
Most of the things you’d use in the summer are on sale right now including swimming pools, pool supplies, bathing suits, summer clothes, outdoor entertaining items(picnic items, gazebos,etc.,) outdoor toys, and bikes.

Why buy now?
Buy now for either next year or gifts for the holiday for tremendous savings. If you can find shorts for your kids at 75% off, buy up a size for next year and you’ll have 75% savings on their summer wardrobe next year. Does Santa like to bring new bikes for Christmas? Check out Target, Toys R Us and some of the other outdoor stores online for deals on bikes and outdoor riding toys that you can stash away for the holidays. If you have space, pool accessories will certainly keep until next summer in storage as would summer entertaining items. You can probably get a fabulous deal on outdoor furniture right now!

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

logo_bottom.gifQuite a few restaurants offer you freebies for signing up for their email mailing lists. The other day, I signed up at Longhorn Steakhouse and received an email today with a coupon for a free appetizer. It was just in time because my husband and I were planning on going there for dinner. Thanks to taking a little time to sign up online, we saved $7 on our meal!

The internet is full of offers for free stuff. If you Google “Free stuff” or “freebies,” you’ll find a ton of websites that tell you how to get something for nothing. Most are free samples, but some are more. When you sign up for a freebie online, it’s a good idea to use a secondary email because you can wind up with more emails than you imagined! I thought I’d share a few freebies posted by the good folks on my message board. Thanks in advance to them!

If you’re still leery about shopping online because you worry about your credit card number being stolen, you should check out this site. When you sign up you’ll get $5 free. Plus, if you refer a friend, you’ll get $5 for each one who signs up. You can fund it via your cell phone and it works just like a regular debit card. You can use it online and off. I thought it was a great idea for those who like to budget their online shopping because you can just add only as much as you’re willing to spend(or can afford to spend) at a time to the card and then it’s gone. The fees are virtually non-existent! Just .10 to send money anywhere and it’s totally free to receive it. What a great idea!
