Product Review: Brother 790 CW Printer

Posted by LuLuGal | March 25, 2009 .

I was recently given the opportunity to test and review a printer from Brother. It is the Brother 790cw model and is a

printer

scanner

copier and

fax machine

all in one machine. The printer was shipped to me and the first thing I noticed was that it was a lot heavier than I expected. I guess it has to be heavy since it has all of those components all rolled into one machine.

What I Liked:

Copier works without software installation.

Ink was easy to install.

M&T Online Banking (Site Review)

Posted by LuLuGal | March 19, 2009 .

Interest rates are falling everywhere on savings and checking accounts and the economy is in a bad shape right now. One of the best things you can do to save money now is to put your money in a Money Market account, since these generally have higher savings rates than regular savings accounts.

The money market account might also have the advantage over a Certificate of Deposit in that you have faster access to your money. With this in mind one place you can put some money if you chose to is with an account at M&T Online Banking. M&T currently offers a money market rate of 0.75% APY, which may not seem like much right now…but when you think of some accounts that  are currently paying 0.42% you can see the difference in the interest that you will end up getting.

Coupon Chief (Site Review)

Posted by LuLuGal | March 17, 2009 .

I found the site Coupon Chief which offers coupons for online retailers.

Coupon Chief is very simple to use as outlined below:

1. Copy Coupon Code

2. Visit Online Retailer

3. Checkout With Code

Copy Coupon Code

You can search for coupons on the site by item such as furniture, shoes or toys. You can also search by retailer, e.g. Target to bring up a list of all available coupons for that site. You then copy the code for the item you want and move on to the retailer’s website. You can click to copy the code manually or write it down.

Amazon Deal Finder (Just In Time For Christmas)

Posted by LuLuGal | December 10, 2008 .

Christmas is just around the corner and with it comes shopping for gifts for everyone.  If you buy gifts online, like at Amazon.com you can save a lot of money over buying them in a traditional store.

It can get a bit overwhelming sometimes to sort through the mounds of stuff that is available so in steps the Amazon Discounts Finder. The site could not be easier to use and it can help you save time as well. All you have to do is enter a keyword, pick the category and then click the discount range you would like. I did a search for ‘Apple’ in the electronics category and put in a range from 90% to 99% discount.

It is Halloween Time Again

Posted by LuLuGal | October 30, 2008 .

It is Halloween time again and my coworkers were asking me what kinds of halloween costumes I had in mind for tomorrow. Apparently we were supposed to dress up (and WHERE is the memo?) for Halloween so that our students can have something to look forward to.

Um really?

I have never ‘dressed up’ for Halloween before. The closest I came to was putting on a Santa Claus hat and wearing a red sweatsuit for a party. I was ’sexy Santa’. I had no idea we were supposed to be wearing costumes and it really is too late now for me to go scrounge anything up that would make sense.

Be A Better Blogger with Dragon Naturally Speaking 10!

Posted by LuLuGal | September 29, 2008 .

How can you become a better blogger with Dragon Naturally Speaking? Well, if you are like me then you speak faster than you type…and that is how you become better.

Sometimes I want to write a post but at the end of the day I am so tired that I just don’t want to type anymore. I think that if I had a product like Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Standard then I could just talk out loud and have all the typing done for me. Then I could save my poor tired wrists for simple editing like inserting pictures and formatting other areas like fonts.

Great Credit Cards for Airlines

Posted by LuLuGal | September 12, 2008 .

It is time for me to take someone to the airport this weekend and I was thinking about where I can get the best Airlines Cards so that I could maximize airline miles.

The person who is taking the trip is not a member of any airline miles rewards club, even though she makes about two trips per year. I like to use credit cards to get rewards so I think the best thing for me to do would be to use a credit card that also gave miles as rewards. That way you can use the miles to earn discounts and even free trips!
