Save Money On Shipping

Man do I hate shipping charges!  When I shop online to find the best deal I always have to factor in shipping charges.  Sometimes that means going all the way through to the final checkout stage just to find out how much I will have to pay to have my item delivered to my doorstep.   Then I have to write down all the total prices including shipping and compare them to buying locally at the store.  It sure would be easier if I just had free shipping all the time.

That is why I am so glad I found a website that gives me all the free shipping codes I can handle.  Just visit freeshipping.org prior to buying and get the code to use at checkout to get free shipping.  Many sites will have restrictions on free shipping and you will have to decide if they are worth it or not.

Save Money By Taking Public Transportation

OK, I get that this not earth shattering…Gas is outrageous right now!  Still, I am surprised at how many people still don’t take public transportation.  I took a trip to Chicago this weekend and needed to get from Midway Aiport to downtown Chi-Town.  Rather then either renting a car or taking a taxi cab I decided to fork over $2 and take the CTA (train system).  What an awesome ride!  I did have to change trains once which was a little confusing but, in the end, I was dropped off only 2 blocks from my hotel.  A cab ride is about $50 one way and renting a car would be about the same for each day.  The hotel charges another $26 per day to park.  Me, I spent only $2 to get all the way downtown and pocketed the rest!

This site is about saving money but whenever I can combine saving money with saving the envirornment I consider myself double thrifty.  I am a big believer in public transportation and I hope that you will give it a try as well.

Save Money on Haircuts

Today I had my hair cut at my favorite place called Sport Clips.  The premise is you get to watch sports (always on ESPN News) while you have your haircut.  They have several options for haircuts including (1) The Varsity (basic cut), (2) The Triple Play (shampoo) and (3) The MVP (shampoo, facial massage and back rub…I love it!).  The Varsity is the least expensive option at $16 per cut.  The store sells pre-paid packs for the Varsity Cut where you purchase 6 cuts at a $9 discount.  Not too bad.  But, the last time I visited they gave me a receipt that included a survey to fill out on the internet.  By filling out the short survey I received $3 off my next cut.  The best part is that when I redeemed it today (making my cut only $13) they gave me the same offer!  Now, I can get $3 off my next haircut!  I love it!
