Here are a few compelling stories I’ve read in the past week:
Trent at The Simple Dollar reveals his email trick for getting deals. A tad unethical? You be the judge.
I’m going to Harvard. Will you sponsor me? NY Times story on alums who set up Harvard-only loan system. (Don’t let my eye rolling throw you off. I feel bad for poor Harvard students, I really do.)
Bargaineering weighs the pros and cons of making your own dog food, pictured above.
Free Money Finance has a financial stress test for you to take. (Guess what he scored? 100!)
Don’t have the cash to finance your personal growth? Recession Wire shares free education resources. (My addition: iTunes U!)
Frugal Dad asks if it is possible to save too much when you are young.
Gas prices are spiking, USA Today says. Yeah, I noticed when I filled up for $3.19/gal yesterday. $*%&#!
WalletPop has Father’s Day freebies!
Thanks, Tina!
Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price.
The url for the free education resources doesn’t seem to be working. Too bad, that’s the one I was most excited about!
Just fixed it! Should work now. 🙂
Why would having a separate email for stores be unethical? Personally I have a private email for friends, an email for newsletters and daily updates (like what I receive from you!) and an email for anything that could generate spam (sales notices, surveys, signing up for coupons, etc.). I check the first two at least twice a day and the other several times a week. It’s still my email address, so I don’t understand the unethical part.
Yeah. I don’t think it’s unethical either. I have quite a few e-mail addresses.
