How to...?



Freebies, coupons, retail deals...

Practical savings almost without effort. Well almost like anything you can make any of these advanced "hobbies" and almost make them part-time jobs. But for the most of us that just want some easy saves here are some tips.

The freebie is the most desired way ti save, the problem is to get the thing you want. It's all about the search..

You have to know some basics stuff:
  • What's a freebie
That one is easy, it’s something you get for nothing — with the exception of your time or energy. Some folks don’t want to take even a minute to try to get something free (their time is just too valuable). For the majority of us, however, as long as the value of the free item is well above what we would get paid to work for our time invested — it’s a great deal!
  • Where can you find freebies
Nowadays you can find them almost everywhere (have you heard of  google?) <- click="click" it="it" p="p">Craigslist is common too, some free sites, FACEBOOK is now offering some freebies also. SEARCH THEM

  • How to tell the good from the bad
Some freebies are legit, and others are just a scam. How can you discern between them? Here are a few tips I’ve picked up over the years.
Check the privacy policy — Most reputable sites will include privacy or terms of usage agreements on their site (check the bottom of the page or the fine print at the end of the registration form for details). If you don’t see this, you may not be dealing with a trustworthy website. Understand how your information may be used to contact you about future offers, and look to see if there is a way to opt-out of marketing communications before you give out your info.
Stay way from shady subdomains — It’s easy to see that an offer housed at www.tylenol.com is being handled by Tylenol itself, but sometimes other companies will fulfill offers on behalf of larger corporations. Familiarize yourself with how web addresses work, and see if it’s possible to access the home page from any offer you may have clicked on. If a link appears to be unsecured or from a website that doesn’t look reputable, walk away without your freebie.
Avoid additional offers — Many of the freebies that I encounter from even trustworthy sites are no more than money-making or affiliate schemes. If you are required to sign up for offers or start free-trial offers in exchange for your free items, the freebie may not be for you. (Usually, the freebie offerer gets a certain amount of money for each offer you complete. They end up making much more money off of you than you’ll ever get back for the freebie — if they send the freebie to you, at all.) Go ahead and let someone else make them money. You don’t need these kinds of strings-attached offers.
What to do with freebies? Some may think of them as a waste of time or a way to clutter up your medicine cabinet. I’ve known many well-meaning and successful freebie hunters who have helped to supplement their pantry or first aid kit with the fruits of their labor, however. You may also consider using your freebie hobby as a way to contribute much-needed supplies to homeless shelters and pet charities. They’d gladly take your unwanted freebies!




Basic couponing somes up to find coupons and cashing them so:

Coupons can be found everywhere! The more accustomed we become to collecting and using coupons, the more coupons will turn up. The following articles will help everyone get started on building a great collection of coupons for food, entertainment savings and products for the and beauty and health.




Retail deals are maybe the most old of these saving ways. So I'm not going to stretch this one out. Instead I'll share this video article explaining some of the concept.

Saving every day... eating healthy!




You realize that eating at home, making your own food rather than buying pre-made meals is a great way to save money. What you don't probably realize is that the more healthy you cook (most of the times) the more you save!

That being you can add other ways to save in the kitchen.
This is one of the suggestion I got from some of my followers that deal with me IRL. The place where you most spend in your house is probably the kitchen. Heating energy, water, food etc. etc. etc.
From now on I will take that in consideration and explore more of that (aswell as the fuel saving, saving everyday outside, etc.) 

There are some basic concepts like: don't throw away food if it's good since it can potencially "stretch" future meals; or having a clean a organized kitchen makes you spend less energy; and on an on...

Those simple tips is what is being explored here you ways to make it even easier and efficient.
So today I leave you with this simple recips and tips ;)

Hot topic: FUEL!

Had really good feedback on my fuel savings post! It seems to me that post is in flames xD

Thanks to Eddie Rod for the vid suggestion
check is blog
Dream Act For Dummies or Republicans


 from the vid the last suggestion is that you mix a little of pure acetone no your fuel in the tank.. guess it has to be really in small amounts or it possibly will do more damage and make your maintenance cost go up

(his blog BEER! I'll tell you why it's awesome!)
this guy had another tipo that I forgot to post..
"Don't forget to predict what's in front of you  Try to minimize braking. Every little bit counts"
that's is comment and the thing is... if you see - p.e.-  the guy in front of you braking, take the foot of the gas pedal.. So the car will slowdown for itself. You save the brakes and the fuel by not adding more accelaration
