Help for Bookworms who need cheap and affordable places to buy their books...

I like to read books. That is print books. While I have tried the kindle app on my phone a few times, there is nothing like holding a book in my hands while I cuddle with my favorite blanket and pillow or sitting in a comfortable chair. 

While I realize, you can go to a library, check out books and even order books for free, sometimes it is just nice having that special copy in your own home. This way, you can read it, anytime that you want. 

There are some places that offer books at discount prices. One place that I have come to favor is Thriftbooks.com.

Buying Eyeglasses Online: Coastal.com

I have purchased a couple of pairs of glasses online. I've tried Goggles4U.com and Firmoo. My latest online glasses endeavor is Coastal.com. Each website has had some type of special offer where I have been able to purchase a pair of eyeglasses under $10. 


Coastal.com also offers an unbeatable deal as well. They will sell customers their first pair for free -but they must pay the taxes and shipping charges. While I have not received them yet, I did order a pair of Tina Fey glasses that were retailed at $78.00. With the special offer, I paid a total of only $9.90-(a savings of $68.10). I will get a chance to try out yet another discount online eyeglass store. If you'd like to join me in my little "test," you can purchase a pair of eyeglasses at Coastal and receive your first pair free by 
using the code:  FIRSTPAIRFREE. 


Goggles4U and Firmoo both presented successful results. If you already have a present prescription, purchasing a pair of eyeglasses online is quite simple. You can upload a photo of yourself and "virtually" try on a pair of glasses. Each time, I have been quite happy with my selection. 


Below are a couple of photos of me wearing eyeglasses that I have purchased online. 

Goggles4u.com: $4.95 Glasses

FIRMOO.com: 1st pair free

Selling Online for $$$$

For those wanting to make some extra cash or need a way to make extra income because of unemployment, they may look to selling items online. The internet provides us with many opportunities and websites for us to sell crafts, gently used clothing, trinkets, antiques, and more.

One popular website that almost everybody has heard of by now is of course Ebay... Ebay has millions of visitors each month, and it is a very easy to get our items "out there." Although, there have been other websites who have tried to compete with their prices and numbers of visitors---yet none have won--just yet--

One fairly new website coming onto the horizon is Bonanzle.com. It is currently building its community of both buyers and sellers. While it is a very tight-knit community, it still is building up its traffic each month. Prices to sell our reasonable-much more affordable than its auction giant, Ebay.  Also, sellers do not pay for their listings --until that item sells. And the most anybody will every pay for their listings is $10--when an item sells for $1000+ .

I decided to compare both Ebay and Bonanzle together and wrote an informative article for anyone interested in selling their items there... If you are new to selling on the internet, and looking to save a few bucks-Bonanzle could be a great starting point for you before heading over to Ebay--It's also a great way to keep a few dollars in your pocket as well.  Feel free to read more about here...
