Save Money By…Listening to Music on GrooveShark

December 19th, 2009

groovesharkNo one is doubting that Journey’s epic love ballads are the soundtrack to your life.  

But that being said, do you really need to drop $.99 so you can hear “Don’t Stop Believin’” for the thousandth time.  I mean, you don’t even get the trailing “g” in that purchase.

And I don’t think Steve Perry needs the money.  

So, my Save Money Tip of the day is to listen to free music online at GrooveShark.com, a site where you can build a playlist, listen to it, save it, and come back to it at your leisure.  It’s a very cool ad-supported free music site–and it seems like it shouldn’t be legal, but it is.

Black Friday Deals in Tech Products: The Ultimate List

November 23rd, 2009

If you are one of the brave souls who ventures out on Black Friday, the infamous shopping day to end all shopping days, then you may want to come armed with what could quite possibly be the ultimate Black Friday Deals list.

The list was lovingly put together by Gizmodo, so it’s focused on tech products.  It’s broken into the following sections: Cell Phones, Computers, Computer Accessories, Digital Cameras, Digital Media Cards, DVD Players, Electronics, GPS, Hard Drives, Home Theater, Portable USB Storage, and several more.

You can find reviews as well as great deals on prepaid phones and plans at Prepaid Phone Guide.  Straight Talk plans and phones that are helping consumers save a ton of money.  

If you are planning on looking for a deal on a tech product, then definitely have a look at this list because it may help you save money.  Also, in semi-related news, ING, the digital banking service, is offering some Black Friday deals of its own.  Read about them at FreeFromBroke.com.

Update: I just found another great post regarding great black Friday deals.  Here are five deals you shouldn’t miss. They are also tech related.  One of the coolest things I read over there is that some retailers will be upping their Bing cashback rates, so there could be some serious savings.  Apparently, the Bing cashback program has led to significant savings for people.

Yet another Update:  Check out this list of Black Friday goodness on the Yahoo Shopping site.  It’s mostly in reference to TVs, game consoles, and electronics.  Some good deals to be found.
