Save Money - Music



Pandora is your own "free" online radio station. You can influence the music played on the station by giving a thumbs up or down to what you are hearing. Instead of listening to your same old iTunes folder over and over again, give Pandora a try. (view website)

ASPCA's Top 10 ways to save money on your pet...

Personalize Your Pet’s Vaccines
Hard times are not an excuse to skip your pet’s annual shots, but it does make sense to talk to your vet about personalizing your pet’s vaccine protocol. Some vaccines are optional, while others are essential in preventing serious diseases.

Spay or Neuter Your Pet
Spaying or neutering your pet can save a lot of money by preventing serious health problems including uterine, ovarian and testicular cancer. Many local shelters provide resources for low-cost or no-cost spay/neuter surgeries. Visit our online database to find a low-cost program in your area. If you live in New York City, check out our mobile clinic.

Brush Your Pet’s Teeth
Dental disease—such as tartar, gingivitis, loose or infected teeth—can lead to heart and kidney problems and expensive procedures. Start a daily dental routine to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy.

Protect Your Pet from Parasites
Flea and tick infestations can cause a host of costly medical problems from minor skin irritations to life-threatening anemia. Stick with a topical flea and tick solution to keep the critters at bay.

Toss the Cigarettes
Secondhand smoke is no joke for pets—it can cause asthma, bronchitis, lymphoma and oral, nasal and lung cancers. Quit now and you’ll save money on vet bills. At the very least, avoid smoking around your pet.

Save Money - Coffee



A very easy way to save money is to get your own coffee or espresso maker. Making your own coffee is actually fun and saves "so much" money considering the prices for coffee these days. I recently purchased the espresso maker above and I love it. Friends come over and I make them a drink and I also love going to the coffee bean stores to get my espresso. There's a romance to coffee bean stores and you can tell it's almost a spiritual experience for those working there, as they flip the coffee beans over and over to ensure freshness. Coffee bean stores would be a nice place to get advice on coffee makers and you can also click the following link if you'd like to learn more about the espresso machine above.
