Many people are resorting to shopping online this Christmas and Hanukkah. Since there are so many sales online and free offers, who doesn’t want to save money on products they already have to buy. So here are some tips on how to get the most for your money buy using free offers:
Free Products
When we need to purchase gifts for the kids and close family members make sure to look out for free item with purchase deals. I absolutely love the idea of filling up my virtual shopping cart with items I already needed to purchase. Then filling in coupon codes at the end that get me great free gifts! These gifts are usually small enough to fit in a stocking or even be kept to the side as a last minute gift for an unexpected friend or the white elephant exchange for your work party.
One of the websites I visit to find a list of these 100% free offers is ILoveFreeThings.com. There I can search for all things free 
from a variety of stores and manufacturers. I even suggest subscribing to their money saving e-newsletter and their instantly updated RSS feed of brand new free offers. What is even better, is that the more free samples you request, the less money you have to spend on stocking stuffer’s. I recommend checking out this website to find the free samples you wish to give these holidays!
Free Shipping
Another fabulous way to get the most for your money is to shop online at stores that offer free shipping. The way I see it, I can either drive to the store and hope they have what I’m looking for. Or shop conveniently from home while saving money on gas, spending less time looking for things and even get special internet sales that aren’t available to in-store shoppers. To find a list of online retailers that feature these free shipping offers, check out this list of free shipping offers from stores on Become.com.
Now doesn’t your shopping list feel less intimidating now that you can save money and get free things? I feel better about my lists for sure!
I just received an email directly from Netflix saying that they are extending their fabulous service to those people who own a PlayStation 3.
Since many of us already have a PlayStation 3, this news is great! Especially for me who has been holding out to buy a Netflix streaming system till Christmas.
Now Netflix users can stream High Definition and Blu-Ray movies with the internet connected PlayStation 3 gaming console we already have plus and this free disc. Simply log into your Netflix account and request your disc. Even the most basic unlimited Netflix plans (less than $10) include this streaming feature!
This deal is also fantastic for those of you who are looking for Christmas gifts for a college student, a movie buff or stay at home mom; a PlayStation 3 with a Netflix gift membership is a gift that is sure to please.

I absolutely love road trips. When I want to take a weekend vacation, there is nothing better than grabbing a few friends and driving to a destination a few hours away. Normally, you don’t need much more than some snacks and a good soundtrack, but wouldn’t it be great to be able to watch your favorite DVD on the road? I decided to look into Audiovox portable DVD players to bring along on our next trip.
Audiovox has a lot of great options, but I narrowed it down and am deciding between a few different models that are actually sold as kits so they have everything you need to start watching movies on the way home. Along with the player and all the plugs and adapters you’ll need, you will get two sets of headphones, a remote, a carrying case and a mounting kit so you can put it up on back of a headrest for hands-free use and great visibility. The Audiovox D1788 Slim Line Portable DVD Player Kit is the smallest, which is great for portability but also has a smaller screen at just 7 inches. The Audiovox D1988PK is a 9” model, so the screen is bigger but it is a bit
heavier and larger to handle as well.
It’s a perfect time to get a new portable DVD player for all of those trips to visit family for the holidays. It also makes a great holiday gift especially for a family with children. Time flies when you’re on the highway in the middle of your favorite movie or favorite television series, so a DVD player should definitely come along on any long road trip.
