Free Music!

Amazon is giving away one free Christmas music MP3 every day for 25 days beginning earlier this week, Dec. 1, 2010. So the last free MP3 will be available on Christmas day. Amazon is kicking off the free music series with "White Winter Hymnal," by the Fleet Foxes. I listened to the 30-second sample and liked it enough to download the free MP3. No word on what free MP3s are in the pipeline, so you'll have to check back daily to find out.

This column is about how and where to save money.  Sometimes it's about clicking or cutting coupons. Sometimes it's be about the easy ways to save a buck.  Today's topic -find great deals with Groupon.

 

Teri Mayor, a follower of the SCENE and Book Club girlfriend :-) has some advise to share:

HI folks,

I just found out about this website, it's  an interesting idea for saving money.  I just signed up for an NYS car inspection for $4!  It's in Glenville, but that works for us because Paul works in Schenectady.  Thought you might be interested.
