Try This Trick! Free Amazon Two-Day Shipping!

Maybe my ethics will be called into question again today after yesterday’s post, but I thought I’d share a favorite deal that I heard about earlier this summer.  If you have an active .edu email account, it’ll now come in handy.  My friend Lisa at Fantabulously Frugal shared that with your student email address, you can [...]

Try This Trick! Have Your Local Bodega Deliver To Your Door!

Such a simple and smart idea: collect a database of local bodegas that deliver and compile it on a website.
I can’t tell you how many times I’m cooking something late at night and I realize I’m missing an ingredient. Or I’m having people over and we’re running low on beer and snacks. I hate putting [...]

Try This Trick! Cash Back When Shopping Online!

Almost a year ago, I wrote about Bing Cashback and how you can use this site to get money back when shopping online. I raved about it, and told everyone I knew that they had to use it when shopping online. A few weeks back I shared the site with a friend, who then informed [...]

Try This Trick! Buy Dinner Discounts!

I was in shock the other day when I discovered a discount website that I didn’t know about - VillageVines. VillageVines is different than a KGBDeals or a LivingSocial because unlike these sites, VillageVines caters only to restaurants and doesn’t involve a printable coupon.
With VillageVines, you pay a fee, usually about $10, and in [...]
