Re: How Does Your Computer Save You Money?
How my computer saves me money.... that's a good question!
1. The freebies I find help stretch similar items I already have + I get to try them & see if it's worth my $ to buy the regular sz product w/ o wasting my money if I don't like it.
2. The online banking saves me $ in stamps, afterall postage is going up again in JUNE
3. I can find printable coupons for various products we use
4. FREECYCLE, not necessiarly for me but for others (I dont' like strangers comming to my home)
5.Entertainment... my dial up gives me lots of interesting things to see & learn about & people to talk to for less than $1 a day vs a movie wich would cost us a fortune (sitter + two tickets @ $9 ea + snacks? + gas to get to the movie & the sitter)
6.I don't have to buy a paper anymore most stores list their sales online (including black friday)
7. I can save on long distance calls & postage by sending e-mails & e-cards.
8. Who needs to buy Play Station ect when I can get some basic games online for free or borrow computer games for the kids from the library.
9. Save gas money cause I can renew my library books & video's online instead of in person.
10. You can even earn a lil money thru various things online
11. Don't need a dating service when your find your DH online in a FREE chatroom
12. Learn reuse items are posted in various forums online
13. Saves me in paper & pens... I don't have to write out a budget, I have it on a spread sheet
14. It's hard to loose a computer unlike my pocket calculator to figure out my check book, so I save in buying replacments
15. I don't have to buy books or borrow them if most of the info I'm looking for is online FREE & w/o using up gas
