Thrifty-Thursday!! #2

So... this week I was given a mini dell laptop by some very generous friends! Now I'm on the internet like 24/7. Kretzu gave me a little heads up as far as free wi-fi goes; so the first tip on Thrifty-Thursday is:


  1. How to get free wi-fi from Starbucks:

  • You have to have a Starbucks card, and use it every now and then, in order to get free wi-fi access.

  • You must register your Starbucks Card and use it at least once a month to receive two consecutive hours a day of complimentary Wi-Fi. (rumor has it that they don't enforce the 2 hour maximum)

  • Alternatively, if you're one of AT&T's 12 million DSL customers, you will also have free access to wi-fi at Starbucks
    If neither of these apply, and you simply can't bring yourself to get a Starbucks card (or to switch your DSL to AT&T) then access will cost you. But Starbucks is offering a 2-hour rate of $3.99, which beats the old rates they used to charge.

  • To register your giftcard or for more info see: http://www.starbucks.com/retail/wireless.asp

Another amazing thing I found last week that I think is the new ebay, but almost better is swaptree.com.

Swaptree.com is an innovative new website where you can instantly trade the books, CDs, DVDs, and video games you are finished with for the ones you want, all for free.

Simply list the books, DVDs, CDs, and video games you are done with and swaptree’s trade algorithms will instantly find everyone who wants those items and show you everything they are willing to trade. Best part is, you only pay for shipping, which using swaptree’s label service means you never have to go to the post office.

Check it out... it's pretty legit!

Amazing coupons are on their way too I promise!
