Have old cell phones sitting around? Go to www.cells4cash.com and enter the model of your phone. They will tell you how much they will pay you for it. They send you a box with postage paid and all you do is send it back.

Great way to avoid accidental purchases

Sign Up to Try Things Without Being Tricked Into Buying Things!

Next time you want to purchase something online that requires a credit card but don't want to sign up for the recurring subscription charges; request a temporary credit card number from your bank. Now-a-days most big banks (ex: Citibank) offer disposable credit card numbers for one time purchases. Sign-up and within minutes you will be provided with a temporary card number that will allow you to purchase your item(s) without having to worry about canceling subscriptions. When the merchant tries to re-bill your credit card, their charge will be denied because the card is no longer valid. Pay for what you want, not what they want!

Good for CHEAP Movie Tickets!

Take Your "Kids" to The Movies!

Chances are you and your friends can't pull off buying childrens tickets at the movie theater ticket window. However, if you purchase your tickets ahead of time using Fandango.com, you can buy any type of ticket you want. Nine times out of ten, the person ripping the tickets isn't paying attention and you can walk straight through (note: this usually works best if you buy at least one adult ticket and have the childrens tickets underneath). Now that you saved a few bucks, you can buy some over-priced movie theater food.

Save Money on Prescription Drugs!

Save Money on Prescription Drugs!

Let's assume you use a medication that requires 2 pills a day (60 a month). By doing a little research with my health insurance provider I found out that they will pay for up to 100 of these pills per month. My doctor now writes me a script for 100 pills and as a result I do not have to pay as many co-pays nor do I have to go to the pharmacy as often. Note: This works for many medications, check with your health insurance provider to find out if you can benefit from this tip. Additionally, you can ask your doctor if a higher dose can be prescribed and the pills can be split. Many times the prices of the medications is nominal from the 50mg to 100mg pill.

Panera Bread Never Tasted So Good!

When ordering your side at Panera Bread - apple, bread or chips - ask for the apple. Then when you pick up your meal, act surprised and say, "Oops! I actually wanted bread (or chips)." Boom you'll get both because they aren't allowed to take the apple back for health reasons. Happy Munching!
