Saving Money Shopping Online, Using the law of lazyness!


By far the easiest way to save money is by using the law of lazyness.
The law of lazyness is shopping at home in your bed, in your pajamas, at midnight on the internet and then sleeping in the next day because you are so "exhausted" from shopping.
Now I take this "law" a little farther and I only pay for things at really deep discounts preferably with a coupon code and a rebate too.

Here is an example for you to see how it works.
Say I need to buy school uniforms for my child (my kids don't wear uniforms, but this makes for a really easy example as I recently helped an online reader with this exact purchase).   
1. I would go to Ebates (sign up if you haven't already by clicking here) and look to see what companies are listed that sell uniforms.
2. You will see that Lands End sells uniforms.
3. Click on the link to Lands End.
4. You will now get 2.5 % cash back on your purchase right now from Lands End. Look to see is they have any specials on their home page, maybe a free shipping coupon or a dollar off
or % off coupon. If they do read the instructions on how to use it and follow them.
5. If you did not find a coupon code on the website open a new internet window but keep the Lands End one open too.
6. Do a google search for "Lands End" coupons.
Jackpot.... right the one down that works best for your needs.
7. Shop

Remember to shop through the rebate links whenever possible. It may seem like a small amount of money that you are saving at the time, but it all adds up!

Some of my favorite websites that list good deals (besides www.noexcusebudget.com) are
www.fatwallet.com and www.slickdeals.net . Both have forums where people post when they find a good deal on both the internet and in regular stores. It's fun to keep an eye on what
others deals are out there, but you need to be careful not to buy something just because it's a good deal. You have to actually need it and have the money budgeted to buy it. Fat Wallet also has a rebate program too.

My favorite rebate programs are Ebates and Upromise . Ebates has tons of stores to shop through and upromise does also. Ebates gives you actual cash back. Upromise deposits money into an account for college savings and also to pay off existing student loans for you or your family members. You can sign up other family members to help you save for college through upromis too!

Learn how the Internet can help you save on nearly every purchase you make...
 saving you thousands of dollars a year.

With the Internet, you don't need to pay full price! Think of it this way, the biggest mall EVER and you can compare prices without walking for miles or driving around town burning expensive gas. Ever wonder how Internet companies can offer such discounts when the regular brick and morter shops can't? Easy, the biggest reason is that Internet companies don't have to pay the "steep" rent that store fronts do. An Internet company can open up shop in any random and low cost of living area it wants thus keeping it's cost way down and allowing you to have to pay a smaller markup.

With this knowledge you can save by shopping online. I've bought everything from laundry detergent to telephone service online, and I've saved a small fortune doing so!

I've taken away the hassle of searching for online deals by listing them on one page for you!

These are the easiest way to make the Internet save you money...

1. Before you make a purchase STOP!
2. Check for any discounts on the
Online Savings Page at the www.NoExcuseBudget.com
3. Click through the link to the retailer of your choice and purchase!

I love to get a great deal and have it delivered to my door for free! If you are like me then
Amazon is the way to go! Check out the grocery section. You can find free shipping on a lot 
of items and their prices are amazing!

Top 10 Ways To Sell Your Vehicle Quick!
by Heather D. Reese

Use these steps for a leg-up on the competition!


I am always being asked by people I know if I can let them in on the secrets to selling vehicles quickly. Over the years, I have developed a great track record in selling my personal vehicles. It seems like the longest I ever keep my vehicles is 2 years, and our family always has 2 of them. Many friends and family members have told me that I am "lucky" or that "you are such a good salesman", but in reality none of these are true when considering my track record of selling my personal vehicles.


Unless you are willing to give up the equity in your vehicle to a car dealer, you will most likely want to sell your vehicle yourself. After years of trial and error I have compiled a list that, if followed verbatim, will most likely acheive the result of a quick sale of your vehicle. For the first time ever, I have compiled a list of the top 10 Ways to Sell your Vehicle Quickly. PAY ATTENTION....these techniques work!!


1. Get your car professionally detailed - A clean car appears to be a well maintained car. This also includes cleaning the engine. Although most car buyers have no idea what they are looking at, almost every prospective car buyer will open the hood. If they see a clean engine, they will assume that you took care of the vehicle.

2. Buy some new floormats - If you have the money, buy the factory original floormats for your vehicle, not the Wal-Mart cheapies. A good source that I have used for this many times in the past is www.eBay.com. For some reason, there are a lot of good sellers on this for floormats at good discounts over dealer pricing. You'll be surprised how much this improves the look of the car and makes many buyers have the opinion that it looks barely used.

3. Spray some "new car" scent in your vehicle. Please don't overdo it. Many people are highly sensitive to smell and this will hopefully make your prospective buyer subconsiously think this car is in "like new" condition

4. List your vehicle frequently on Craigslist.org. Place this ad frequently and in the surrounding cities. Best of all, this is free always FREE!!

5. Make sure your vehicle is priced correctly. Do a search on www.Autotrader.com to see what similar vehicles (year, miles, condition, equipment, etc.) are being listed for in your area. Price yours in the middle of the road of the private sellers. Do not pay attention to many of the dealer prices because many of them are artificially inflated to account for the trade ins they receive on these cars and the warranties they will have to provide. If you need to sell your vehicle quickly, make sure it is the cheapest comparable vehicle, and the buyers will find you!

6. Place a photo ad in www.AutoTrader.com. This is the ultimate site for listing your car. This site doesn't always work because of all the competing vehicles, but you have a good shot at selling it from this publication.

7. Put a For Sale sign on your car. You will be surprised how often this works. When shopping or parking, make sure your car is parked in a prominent location to attract the attention of as many people as possible.

8. Run a classified ad in your local newspaper. Many people still look in the newspaper to do their used vehicle shopping.

9. Be flexible with meeting people. Never meet prospective buyers at your house (for safety reasons). If someone calls to inquire about your vehicle, offer to meet them at a safe halfway point (gas station, grocery store, etc.). This will make it easier for them to agree to meet you and ultimately sell the car.

10. Be willing to negotiate. Never approach the sale of your car with a rigid "take it or leave it" price. Most people want to feel like they are getting a deal by buying your vehicle. Taking a little bit off the price will normally do the trick.

Please note that I make no guarantee that your vehicle will sell quick. Additionally, the above items are in no particular order, and you really need to do all of these things if you want to sell your vehicle quickly!!
