I want to make you aware of a few deals that I’ve been made aware of. It’s always nice to save a couple bucks here and there, so why not try it with some of these.

Restaurant.comAs you probably know by now, I’m a big fan of this site where you buy gift certificates for a reduced price ($25 for $10 and $10 for $3). Well, now you can get an extra 50% off the already cheap price. That means a $25 gift certificate for only $5 or a $10 gift certificate for just $1.50. All you have to do is enter the discount code SUMMER and hit recalculated total. If you haven’t yet tried this site out, now is the perfect time. But, you’ve got to act pretty quick. The extra 50% off is only good through Sunday, June 24th. You only have to purchase it by the 24th though, you can use it whenever.

GoDaddy.com This site is one of the largest and most recognized sites for purchasing domain names. It’s also where I just recently picked up my domain name. Well, now they’re having a sale where you can register a domain name for just $6.95 instead of the usual $8.95. If you’ve been putting it off, now is the time to get that personal domain name. Just click the link here, and you’re on your way. Also, if you’re still using the (dot) blogspot extension, all you have to do is get the domain name and blogger will still host it for you for free.

ING Direct - High Yield Savings with 4.50% annual percentage yield!I would also urge you (if you haven’t already) to set up a high yield savings account where you can hold your emergency fund. Unlike a normal money market fund, this account is FDIC insured up to $100,000 so you’re assured of having your money when and if you need it. Also, if you’re willing and able to start your account with at least $250, send me an email with your name and email address. I can then send you a link through which you’ll receive $25 just for opening the account (Full Disclosure: I will also get $10 for the referral).

These are a few really great offers. If one or all of them are right for you, then go ahead and take advantage of them. I will also say that the provided links are affiliate links which help to keep this site up and running. Thanks for reading and thanks for your support.
