Re: How Does Your Computer Save You Money?
On food: I use it to look at weekly ads, organize my coupons, trade coupons, find and print online coupons.
On gift giving and other purchases: easy price comparison with shopping bots and can use online deals in local stores with a price match policy.
Research: no more buying reference books, impromptu trips the library, 4-11 charges.
Long-distance and phone services: used the internet to compare cell phone plans to get the best deal and use email and chat to communicate with people during peak cell phone time.
Learning to be more frugal: most of my ideas and practices have come from online communications and support.
Banking: I do 99% of my banking online which means less fees, I also use online bill pay and save on envelopes and stamps.
Entertainment: Netflix, book swaps, half.com for books and cds.
Selling: yard sales never worked for me but selling on Ebay and Craigslist has been a gold mine and more efficent for me.
