- #8 Find the best deal by researching your purchase online. Print out coupons before going to the grocery.
- #9 Avoid unnecessary trips to the doctor. Purchase over the counter medications more likely to meet your needs.
- #10 If you and the other person both have Internet access and use the same software (such as Skype), the calls via the computer are free! If you both have a video camera, the calls become video calls. Free! Doesn’t matter if the person is around the block or around the world. Or, reduce the number of phone calls and keep in touch via a social network such as Facebook.

- #12 No more scrambling around looking for the school calendar (do the kids have today off???). Check for school closings (no more standing in front of the tv waiting for your school to scroll across the screen.) Email teachers with questions.
