Over 2000 audio books for FREE!

My kids listen to stories on their cd player every night to go to sleep.  They have listened to "Jesus Stories" from CD's that we found at the Dollar Tree several years ago, Disney stories, Dr. Seuss, Froggy stories and many many more!  They love listening to the stories and we love that they are hearing great books and stories nightly.  The problem is that they have now listened to their stories so much that they have most of them memorized.  So I am thrilled to find this site from University of Florida with tons of classics for FREE!  (Aesops Fables, Tales of Peter Rabbit, Count of Monte Cristo......)

It will then pop out for you to take home. You only get to keep the movie one night and you only pay $1.00! If you forget to return it, you will be charged $1.00 more every day it stays out. Here's the good part though. Alot of times they release a code that will get you the movie for FREE!

Verizon customers - do you get a discount?

If you are a Verizon customer, you could be getting a 15% discount! Thanks to my brother for passing this tip to me. Log in to your verizon account. Click on the red 'business' button (not the big business button at the top of the page.) That will open another drop down box - click on "employee discount" Enter your zipcode (If it doesn't work with your zip, try adding the city and state) Then you will find a place to enter your work email. A new page will pop up telling you whether you may be eligible for a discount. Then we got an email asking us to confirm the request. A few days later we got an email saying we had been approved for a 15% discount on our bill! If you are on Verizon - its' worth a shot!

Read ebooks from your library - for FREE!

Image
Do you have an itouch, kindle or ipod where you can read ebooks? If you do, you might be interested to know that you can check out ebooks from your library - for FREE! Here's the deal: Contact your local library to see if they participate in the 'Net Library' If they do, just sign up and go 0nline to check out a book to your reader. (I think you get to keep the ebook for 3 weeks then it will just deactivate off your reader.) If your library does not participate (my local library does not), then contact the largest library near you. The Lexington Library DOES participate! Since I have a card from the Boyle county library (my local city library), I am able to get a library card from Lexington for free just by going in to their library and signing up! Now I have access to thousands of ebooks for FREE! Have you noticed that I love using the library resources? There are so many ways that our library saves me money!

How do you get Wii games cheap?

Good question! If you have a Wii, you know that games are crazy expensive! We have a Wii and we refuse to pay full price for games. Here's some options that we have tried. (Warning: Some of thes options take time, but we really are trying to teach our kids that the things they want sometimes take time to earn.) I know this is a long post so feel free to skim read :-) 1. Gamefly This is a program almost identical to netflix. You sign up for a membership and choose your level. The cheapest level gives you one game at a time. You play it for as long as you like (no late fees) then mail it back in their prepaid envelope. A few days later, you get the next game in the mail. You choose the games you want to try and put them in a queue. They send you whatever is next on your list. You get a free 10 day trial. The cheapest level is $8.95 for the first month for 1 game at a time. Then after that it goes to $15.95 per month for however long you keep the membership. There is no contract and ...
