Looking for low cost car insurance quotes?

In my constant search to find new ways to save money on things I have to buy, I think I have found the holy grail of cheaper care insurance. I always stayed with the company that has the little green lizard-type fellow, assuming that it must be the cheapest car insurance. Boy was I wrong! As a long time member of MyPoints rewards program, I decided to check out car insurance rates through their website. I used the NetQuote portal from their site to find car insurance rates better than I currently had. Talk about low cost! Almost all of the car insurance quotes were less than half of what I was paying. I was paying $65 a month through my previous car insurance company, and I found a policy that is only costing me $21 a month for the same coverage. MyPoints, of course, gave me rewards points for buying car insurance through them, to the tune of 5,000 points, which is almost enough for a $40 gasoline card. It’s like getting my first two months insurance premiums paid for. If you aren’t a member of MyPoints, you should be. If you aren’t interested in joining them, at least take a few minutes to check out NetQuote.com, you’ll be glad you did.

EzLaptop scam

For several months I have been reading ads to earn a free laptop from ezlaptop.com. I finally reached the required number of credits and clicked the link to claim my laptop. I got no confirmation email, not have they replied to any of my emails asking for the status of my shipment. Now let me say this - I went into this with my eyes open, knowing that there was a 99% chance that this was a scam. I am quite tired of these sites that make big promises and then scam their loyal members, so I am prepared to file a complaint against these folks. I am going to bulldog this one, folks, and I'll keep you updated as to my progress, or lack thereof. For any of you who have had issues with this site, full contact information can be found here:

Let's band together and let them know that this is unacceptable!

Attention: Spammers

This is for the individual who somehow thinks that anyone will want to read his spam comments on my blog. No one wants to invest in your schemes. That should be obvious to you by now, since you have had to resort to spamming blogs, which seems to be quite a desperate act. Because of you and your very unwelcome crap, I have set my blog to comment moderation. I will now have to view your tripe before I delete it, but at least my readers won't be subjected to it. To my readers, I apologize for the delay this will cause when you post a comment, but the spammer left me no choice. I refuse to allow you to be spammed on my watch.

Free cell phone and free minutes!!

I was so excited about this that I couldn't wait to get it posted! I found a link on my state's Job and Family Services website that said "Get a free cell phone." Intrigued, I clicked on it. Apparently, those who qualify by income can receive a free cell phone and free minutes from SafeLink Wireless. If you are already qualified for HEAP, Medicaid, food stamps, etc., you automatically qualify for the phone program. If you are not on any of these programs, you can still qualify by submitting proof of income. Well, since my family is enrolled in the HEAP program, I filled out a very simple application online and submitted it. Within 10 minutes I received a message that said I had been approved and would receive my phone within 5-10 business days! Please, please, please email this post to anyone you know who could benefit from this program. Most of us are driving crappy cars that break down all the time, now you can have the security of knowing you can call someone for help. What a great way to restore a sense of security to those of us who can't afford cell phones.

MyPoints.com

MyPoints is a site where you earn points for various activities. You do not actually earn cash, but the points are just as good as cash. There are so many ways to earn that everyone is bound to find something they enjoy. You can earn just by reading emails received from them, you can complete offers, you can earn huge points by shopping through their site, and you can earn by joining other sites that are affiliated with them. They also have an affiliate program, which I have not tried, that pays cash. I personally use my points for emergency gas money since I earn enough for $20 BP gas cards a month. That's $20 I don't have to spend out of my pocket every month. If you're into offers, you could do much better. I typically only read emails. They do not have a referral program, this post is just for your earning enjoyment. If you click on the post title it will take you to their site. Have fun with it!

The Junk Store - A Classic Treasure!

Today I happened upon something that I should have known about all along. I wandered into a second-hand store. It is sort of an eclectic mix of wares. They sell tires and car batteries, jewelry, electronics, clothes, toys, etc. Virtually any kind of item can be found there. Not only could I stand to save a few bucks on items I need, but the thought came to me that they have to get the stuff somewhere, so why not from me? I went home and gathered a few things I thought might be of value and went back. Long story short, I made $50! I also established a business relationship that will help me the next time I need to unload some stuff for extra cash. The best part? Since I gave them my stuff at a good price, I got a good price on new tires for my car, and they agreed hold them until payday. If I had taken the time to gather more stuff to sell, I might have even been able to get the tires free. I will be looking around for other consignment shops and "junk stores' in my new quest to unload extra items and earn extra cash. I'll bet you have some in your neighborhood too.
