Money Savings-FreebiesSurf the web to find hundreds of legitimate free offers
for everything from food to clothing and more. Internet
freebies are a great way to save money for the whole
family.
MattressesFlip your mattresses every three months to save the
mattress life and save you money.
Store SalesCheck out different stores and pick about 6 that you really
like and visit them frequently. Checking items
frequently will let your learn the stores markdown
cycles and you can get items you want on sale.
Credit Card BalancesAlways keep a running check on your credit card
balances. Losing track of where you stand with
your credit card is one of the quickest ways to get
into debt.
Coupon TradersSearch out other coupon shoppers on the Internet and
seek to trade coupons. Give coupons for items you do
not use for coupons that you do.
Buy In BulkWhen your basic grocery items that you use most often
go on sale, buy in bulk to stock up.
Credit CardsFind the best card you can if you must have a credit
card. Look for cards with these features:
No annual fee.
25 day grace period.
Accepted in many places.
Low interest rate.
Go to
www.bankrate.com or
www.cardweb.com
to check on current credit card offers.
Credit CardsEven though your credit card company may offer freebies
such as frequent flyer miles or cash rebates, they may
charge higher interest rates and annual fees. Make
sure the freebies are really free before you commit to
that card.
VideosThe next time you want to rent a movie for the family,
visit your local library instead. Many popular titles
can be found at the library and you can check them out
usually for no charge.
Watch The RegisterWatch the cash register like a hawk. Make note of
sale items when you pick them up so you will know the
correct price when you get to the register. Also check
your receipts for any mistakes.
Credit CardsMake sure you know your cardīs limit and what your current
balance is. Many credit card companies will let you go
over your limit and then hit you with over the limit
fees of $25 or more. Buyer beware!
Credit CardsScrutinize your bill each month. If you find something
questionable or unacceptable, write the card company a
letter immediately pointing out the billing error, specify
the problem and request it be credited to your account.
Keep a copy of the letter for yourself and mail the other
certified mail, return receipt requested to the
credit card company. Within 30 days they must reverse
the charge, fix the problem or tell you they will
investigate.
Credit CardsRead every piece of mail your credit card company sends
you. Especially the fine print. Check to see if they
have instated a rate change. If so, call them and see
if they will reinstate your old rate. If not, consider
switching cards. You do not have to accept the new
rate and paying off the balance at your current interest
level. But if you make any new charges, the rate will
instantly go to the higher one.
