Good idea. We use a BP card that gives us rebates. So, every so often, even though we pay the same price as neighboring gas stations we get a $25.00 gas card every once in a while. We only buy gas with the card and pay it off every month. Sometimes they will smack you with interest so paying it off monthly is a must. So, this is another option on gas in addition to yours.

Nice. We use a Discover card that has a 5% rebate for gas, and yeah, definitely gotta pay it off every month.

One of my things is that I love buying new music, but never have room for it in my budgets. I started using an Amazon Visa card, instead of my check card. I deduct all my purchases on it, imediately from my checking account, and then pay my balance in full every month....

About every other month, I charge enough to get a $25 amazon gift certificate, which gets me at least 2 CD's. This is how I finance my music obsession.

Limewire.com...tons of free music. When I do buy music I generally download specific songs from walmart for .98. I got tired of buying a full CD for $20 and only liking 1 or 2 songs.

You can get them from songtouch.com and you won't be supporting one of the worst overseas job shippers in this nations history.

I had never heard of songtouch. Is it very diversified in its music...and is it free?

At Amazon, they range between $9.99 and $13.99, for the actual CD (if you spend over $25, you can get free shipping).

I prefer to have the actual CD, because if my ipod gets stolen, or my computer blows up, I will still have the music.

Re: How to Save Money

This may not be the case in all areas of the country, but if you are shopping at several grocery stores to get their advertised specials you might want to check with your Walmart store. Locally, Walmart will match any competitor's ad. You just need to take the ad in with you when you shop. Would save extra gas and time going to the different stores.

My Wal-Mart does this but I intentionally go to the local stores to shop local and take some business from Wal-Mart, but that's just me.
