Have you ever wondered about an Amazon price match? I know I have. Many of the largest retailers around will price match other retailers. Walmart is known for this. BestBuy started doing it last year with great success. I have been in there numerous times looking for something and would pull up prices on Amazon.com and they would price match it with no hesitation. Since Amazon is the world’s largest online retailer, I figured there would have to be a way to get them to price match products. Low and behold, there is!

I think most women will agree that personal maintenance and hygiene are important for a lot of different reasons. They are important for the health and well-being of ourselves and also of others, and good hygiene impacts our appearance and how others interact with us (because no one likes the smell of B.O.). It can…
I’m a huge proponent for shopping online. Not only is the process much easier than it used to be, but I don’t have to drive around looking for a store, parking, and dealing with people in the store. Then don’t even get me started on going through checkout. Have you shopped at Walmart lately? I…
I have been selling stuff on Craigslist for some time. In the past few years, I have also offloaded some cars on the free site. The process is simple, but you do have to understand the laws of your particular state. I would continue to buy and sell cars, but after a certain number, I would…

You’re frustrated at the end of the month because it feels like every penny you make goes toward paying bills, and you have nothing to show for your hard work. You see things that you would like to have, seemingly frivolous items like designer shoes or a new television, and walk away, thinking that because you don’t have the money now, you won’t ever be able to have what you want.
