Free eCards

Ever wanted to send a card but didn't have time, couldn't find a stamp or you were just too cheap? Then you might want to consider sending free eCards. There are several online sources where you can find free eCards for any occasion; Birthdays, Christmas, Graduation, Weddings, National Ice Cream Day and all the other important holidays. Here are some of my personal favorites:

Egreetings.com offers free eCards for any occasion or just for fun. Most selections are in flash animation and include sound. There is no registration required and you get unlimited free eCards. Once you choose to send your card, you have the option of having the free Egreetings toolbar installed on your computer where you get instant access to the free eCards and the selection of the day. If you don't want to install the toolbar just select the "skip" prompt at the bottom of the page.

123 Greetings is a great site for free eCards and for finding out about all the lesser known holidays. For example, did you know today (June 8) was both Best Friends Day and Ice Cream Day? Well you know now! They offer an upcoming events feature on their homepage that lists all kinds of holidays and occasions along with links to free eCards you can send. You can even subscribe to the upcoming events RSS feed.

Care2 eCards makes a donation to an environmental nonprofit to save a square foot of rain forest for every free eCard sent. How cool is that? They offer several unique free eCards to choose from. You can personalize the cards and send them to multiple email addresses.

eCardica.com offers a selection of free mostly humorous eCards. The majority are flash animation but a few are available in "postcard" format for those that don't have flash capabilities. You can also personalize your greeting and upload photos, audio or video files that can be sent along with your eCard.

Hipstercards.com is great for finding unusual free eCards to send. They also offer some fun options for free email invitations. I love the Retro and Vintage selections but was a little freaked out over the Strange Clowns category. From what I saw, all of the eCards are basic images without animation or audio options. The cards are easy to send and don't require any registration.

Yahoo! Greetings with American Greetings has several free eCards to choose from. You can personalize your message, add a photo and send your selected eCard to multiple email addresses. Registration is not required.

So no more excuses, now you can stay in touch with friends and family with these free eCards. Get busy - Cheap Cindy

Free Doughnuts on National Doughnut Day

MMMM.....Doughnuts......


Celebrate national Doughnut Day, Tomorrow June 5th, with Free Doughnuts!


Krispy Kreme Stores will be giving away a Free Doughnut to all it's customers. Limit one per person, no purchase necessary.


Dunkin' Donuts is also getting in on the celebration and is offering a Free Doughnut (or is that donut?) with the purchase of any beverage, limit one per customer.


And in honor of National Doughnut Day, I think it's fitting to pay tribute to the king of doughnut lovers; Homer Simpson. Have fun with this collection of web sites offering Simpsons trivia, create your own Simpsons character and other free stuff you can do. You can find links to these in my article How to Find Everything About The Simpsons.


Happy Doughnut Day! - Cheap Cindy

Free Landscape & Garden Design Programs

My backyard needs a serious makeover. I'm not one of those people who can visualize something; I need to see it drawn out - which I'm no good at either. So here's some free landscape & garden design programs I found online.

Better Homes and Gardens offers plan-a-garden. You have to register as an online member, but it's quick and easy. The program is pretty basic and limited, but it works well for planning simple layouts. The website also offers free garden plans and other helpful tips and ideas.

Gardener's Supply Company offers a simple Free Garden Design Planner that is a must have when planning your vegetable garden layout. This website also offers valuable free advice on planting and care. 

A more elaborate program is the Showoff Free Landscape & Outdoor Living Software. You can upload your own photo, select your region's hardiness zone to see plants that grow in your area and more. You do need to register and install the free software. The program does have it's limitations, and of course you can get more functions if you pay to upgrade. The free version is fine in my opinion.

There's an app for that. iScape Free Landscape Design app gives you the opportunity to test drive the paid version at no charge. Take a picture or upload your own photo from your photo library. Use the tools to add grass, pavers, flowers, trees, walkways, patio furniture, etc. You can save and share your design via Facebook, email or print.


For designing decks, here is a Free Deck Designer from Lowes.  Decks.com also offers a Free Deck Designer and Free Deck Plans. You must register at these sites first.

Well I hope you find these as helpful as I did. Now if you know of anyone willing to do the actual labor of putting in the landscape or building a new deck for free, you let me know ok?

Save Money this Summer

Ahh, summer. Time for flip flops, barbeque's and hopefully a chance to enjoy a little needed R&R. It's tempting to be lured by all the summertime pleasures: that pricey vacation, that new patio set, that shiny convertible. But there are several ways you can enjoy summer without going broke. Here are some ways to save money this summer.

Start with the flip flops. If you haven't seen the commercial, Old Navy stores are offering solid color flip flops for the entire family for only $1.00 a pair, tomorrow only May 23, 2009. Or, try for a free pair of Havaianas flip flops from the Seventeen Magazine Giveaway on June 6, 2009. You can see the official rules at Seventeen.com or they can be found in the upcoming July issue.

Take advantage of free summer fun in your area. Many cities offer events such as free outdoor music concerts, local summer festivals, craft fairs and even free movie nights. (If you missed my earlier post, select Regal theatres are offering a Free Family Film Festival this summer.)

Check out the community events section in your local newspaper, see what free summer programs your local library may be offering or enjoy free amenities such as parks and local beaches if you have access to them.

Look for free stuff that kids can do this summer, such as the 2009 Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program. Listen to The Consumer Queen's recent BlogTalkRadio show Free and Cheap Things to do With Kids this Summer for more great ideas.

Save money on your summer vacation by looking for great travel deals posted on the FatWallet Travel Deals Forum. You can also find money saving tips in my article How to Find Hotel Discounts and Travel Cheap. Save tons of money this summer by opting for a summer vacation closer to home. Go camping as a classic way to enjoy summer on the cheap, or opt to Vacation Cheap with a Staycation this year.

Go frugal treasure hunting at garage and yard sales, or make some extra money by having your own. Get the kids involved by letting them set up a lemonade stand, or better yet, make a killing having them set up a concession stand made up of items such as snacks and bottled water bought at local warehouse or discount stores. In my area, even I have been suckered more than once into paying $1.00 for a bottle of water at a yard sale on a hot summer day.

Have a GPS? Go on a high-tech treasure hunt this summer with Geocaching. Even if you don't have a GPS, consider creating your own scavenger hunt with family, friends and neighbors. Make a list of things people have to collect or find around town. Give clues and make riddles they have to solve in order to find the items. Play just for fun, or offer a prize such as the winner gets their garbage taken to the curb for a month by the losing players, etc.

What are you doing to save money this summer? I would love to hear your ideas.

Till next time - Cheap Cindy

How to Calculate Take Home Pay After Taxes

Want to know how much you'll really be earning from that new job? You could try to calculate your take home pay after taxes using the ol' noggin, or you could be really smart about it and use a free online calculator to figure it out for you.

Some of the best I've found are provided by PaycheckCity.com . You can use the basic calculators without registering with the site, or use the professional calculators with registration. Whichever you decide, they are all free to use.

Not only can you calculate your take home pay after taxes, but you can get free help with your W-4 and more.

You'll need to enter some basic tax info, such as your filing status, number of allowances you're claiming etc. It's nice that you can play around with the info too, so you can see what difference it would make if you claimed fewer allowances, etc.

So while you may never find out who that FICA character is that's taking all your money, at least you can get a realistic idea of what your take home pay will be.

Free Stuff for Your Pets

Pets like Freebies too!

Get your dog a free sample Smokey Bacon-Flavored Better Than Ears Treat from Walmart.com

Get your cat a Free Can of Petite Cuisine Cat Food on their birthday

Take your pets to the PetSmart Pet Birthday Party April 21, 6-8pm and get a Free Goodie Bag and Free Digital Photo with Frame

Get a Free 8 X 10 Photo from Canon . Use "Try MyPhoto", a free service from Canon where they will print an 8 X 10 of your image using the printer you select and mail it to you for free. Okay, so this doesn't have to be used for your pet's photo - but I recommend it.

Do You Swap & Barter?

I have to say I'm loving this new "old" idea of swapping and bartering as a way to get goods and services. Remember watching Little House on The Prairie and seeing Ma Ingalls trading eggs for goods at the Oleson Mercantile? Well, that practice of using alternative items in place of money as a way to buy stuff seems to be making a strong comeback.

I don't think places such as Walmart will be jumping on the swap train anytime soon, but several smaller businesses are using this practice. I've seen businesses trading with other businesses as well as with consumers. A recent browse through the Craigslist barter section revealed several ads with titles such as "Auto Repair for ?", "Trade Home Remodel for Web Site Building Skills", "Graphic Sign Work in Exchange for T-Shirt Press", and so on.

Even more popular is the trading going on between everyday people. I recently traded some used Elmo character Christmas lights for postage stamps. The possibilities are endless. My junk for your junk - what could be better? Plus, this is a great way to recycle. I even started following a blog I stumbled across: The Craigslist Experiment where a guy is using an item he found for free on Craigslist and is bartering his way up to bigger and better items. You go Trevor!

Besides Craigslist, there are several web sites popping up that help people wanting to exchange goods. You can find several sites discussed in this article: How to Barter. Another way to trade stuff is the Swap Party . A way to get free stuff and party? I'm there!

Entire communities are getting involved. You can use the website Meetup.com to look for a Clothing Swap Meetup Group near you. Search this site for other kinds of Swap Groups, or look in your local community newspaper for swap events.

Having trouble selling your home? Swap it! People are swapping homes, cars, boats, RVs and more on sites such as GoSwap.org . Now, that's serious swapping.

So do any of you Swap & Barter? I'd love to hear about it.

Free Stuff For Kids

It's Spring Break time, and for parents of younger kids this can mean hearing "I'm sooooo bored, there's nothing to doooooo!" Well here's some fun free stuff to keep your kids busy.

Home Depot offers Free Kids Workshops. These offer useful projects including the creation of toolboxes, fire trucks and mail organizers, as well as more educational projects, such as a window birdhouse, bughouse or Declaration of Independence frame kit.

The workshops teach children do-it-yourself skills and tool safety, while at the same time helping to instill a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, this fun time allows for quality one-on-one time between adults and children.

In addition to the newly constructed project kit, each child receives a kid-sized orange apron, similar to The Home Depot associates' aprons, and an achievement pin. (Those little aprons are too cute!)

Lowe's stores offer their version called Build and Grow Clinics.

If you don't have these stores in your area, there is still plenty of free stuff for kids found online. For hours of coloring enjoyment, see my article with links to hundreds of Free Coloring Pages. No crayons? No problem! Many of these offer online features where you color them online and print them out when your done.

You can also find tons of Free Crafts for Kids Online, such as making puppets, greeting cards, mobiles, bookmarks and other creative projects.

There is obviously not enough time to do all these things over Spring Break, but remember, summer is just around the corner.

Eating Out Cheap - Half Price Or Less

I like to eat out at restaurants. If you ever tasted my cooking you'd understand why. Plus I can enjoy not having to clean up the mess afterwords, and I don't have to stare at a drooling dog while eating.

So, being cheap and all, I am always looking for coupons and special restaurant offers. I've found some pretty good deals too. Paying half price or less at a reasonably priced restaurant is a good deal in my book.

Restaurant.com is where I find some of these deals. For example now through Jan. 31st you can get $25 restaurant gift certificates for $3 using the promotional code SUPER at checkout. Each restaurant has it's own terms and conditions about using these gift certificates. The restaurant I like to use this for has a minimum purchase of $35 to use this gift certificate. That means I'll being paying $13 for $35 worth of food (tax and tip not included). I'll get about 3 meals out of this, so I chalk that up to a good deal. See what's in your area here: Restaurant.com

Another way to get discounted restaurant gift certificates is through your local radio and television stations. Seriously. These are usually sold at half of face value, but recently I found some of these were even cheaper. You can find out more about this here:

How to Find Half Price Restaurant Gift Certificates From Local Media

Did Someone Say FREE Coffee?

Must...
have...
more...
cofffeeee...

Is it just me, or is everyone craving more coffee these days? Maybe it's the extra cold weather where I am, or it could just be the caffeine addiction's getting stronger. Whatever it is I've been hunting down free coffee offers to help with my fix and here's what I've found:

Seattle's Best Coffee Purchase a beverage and receive a free pastry or second beverage with coupon

Dunkin' Donuts Sign up to receive a free coffee sample by mail

Peet's Coffee Get your friends to sign up for the Peet's newsletter and they get a free drink (Well I've always heard you should be your own best friend, maybe I can sign myself up)

Tully's Free beverage with purchase of another beverage if you sign up for their email club. Will also send you an email for a free drink on your birthday

Biggby's Sign up for E-wards and they will send you coupons by email each week. They will also give you a special treat on your birthday

Hopefully we can get some free coffee from these offers. I don't know about you, but trying to re-brew using yesterday's coffee grounds just isn't working for me.

Here's more cheap coffee tips:

Watching Free Movies Online - Legally

In this depressing economy we need all the free entertainment possible, and the internet is full of free entertainment. Yes it is tempting to watch all those newly released movies online, but that little voice in your head keeps telling you that it's wrong and frankly not legal.

Well you can tell the little voice to take a breather. There are hundreds of free movies you can watch online legally. Okay, so you won't see any new releases but there is stuff worth watching. If you're a classic movie buff you'll find a plethora of free flicks. If you're not a classic movie fan maybe you'll become one.

See the link to my article below for more information on this topic and the websites with free legal movies:

Hey - Gimmie Back My Money!

Does someone owe you money? Yes, you're probably still fretting about that $5 your brother borrowed ten years ago, but did you know you could be owed money that you aren't aware of? Millions of dollars are just waiting to be claimed. This is money owed to people from refunds, unclaimed property, tax refunds, pensions, unpaid wages that "check in the mail" that you never received and more.

A legit way to check for unclaimed money is to use https://www.usa.gov/unclaimed-money

I didn't have any luck, but I did see my brother-in-law has some unclaimed money. I guess it's back to checking under the sofa cushions for me.
