The latest tips I've posted to TipDrop.
| Look for one that is reasonably priced (10% of total cost or less), offers quick, comprehensive service and makes sense. Go with online warranty services if price and service is better. Try store warranty if its refundable when not used by end of term. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| If you require domain privacy, you can avoid paying extra for that service by using 1and1. They offer it free with all domain purchases. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Alternate 3 layers of sheets and waterproof pad, one on top of each other (sheet/pad/sheet/pad, etc). If there's a wet bed in the middle of the night simply strip off the top layers and have clean & dry ones underneath. Re-stack during daylight hours. Tip Credibility: 7 |
| Buying in bulk on ebay can be a real time and money saver. Anything you don't use you can either resell or give to friends or family who might need them. New and nearly new items are available and are great presents, too. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Try to bundle services whenever possible, such as phone, internet and TV. Be sure to compare the bundle price to separate prices offered and also watch out for limited time deals that may raise your rate later and no longer be a discount. Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Give a complete itinerary and contact information to your family/friends who may be in charge of your children or your house. If something happens they can quickly reach you to report it. Tip Credibility: 5 |
| Make sure your credit cards customer service numbers are part of the saved travel documents. In case you lose your card or it's stolen, you can quickly call the company to report it. Tip Credibility: 6 |
| Set a strict gambling budget and follow it carefully. Vow not to touch credit cards and ATM machines for gambling money. Take cash and when it's gone, you're done gambling. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Meals are often very large, split them with your spouse to save money. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Play with them. Show them new experiences and how to have fun! Tip Credibility: 3 |
| Amazon changes their prices all the time. If you can wait for an item, put it in your shopping cart and monitor the price for a few days. The cart price will update (up and down) with every change. Buy when it's at a sale price you can manage. Tip Credibility: 17 |
| save your Sunday paper coupons and use them during sales at the grocery stores. If you have trouble keeping track consider a free online service to tell what's on sale that week. Tip Credibility: 15 |
| The old saying, you get what you pay for, is often true in camera bags. The best bags usually cost more as they are more robust, offer more space, and protect your camera from rain and short drops. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Consider the camera size as well as accessories such as memory cards, cables, additional lenses and chargers. You want something robust that doesn't scream camera bag to a potential thief. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Grand Cayman. Swimming with the stingray is an experience you shouldn't miss in this lifetime. Tip Credibility: 6 |
| I just bought the Canon Vixia HF200 and totally love it. Best indoor video for its price range and also outstanding outdoor shots. Records to SDHC cards for easy storage/transfer to computer. Tip Credibility: 3 |
| Computers are like guns, they are dangerous and must be used wisely. Help your parents and grandparents stay safe by being educated. There are often free or very low cost computer classes at community centers and colleges. Tip Credibility: 2 |
| If you can, create an email address just for buying things online. Use that instead of your main address so that if it gets sold or rented the resulting spam won't clog up your main mail box. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| I would like the first tip created to show the character count also. I'm constantly getting too wordy and don't know it until I submit. Tip Credibility: 6 |
| The common programs of Kazaa, Bittorrent, and Limewire not only get you illegal downloads but they are often full of virused files. It's best not to have those on your machine. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Many parents don't know that some music and movie downloads aren't legal. If you didn't pay for it, it could be illegal. I have seen several people get caught by movie studios for illegal sharing, and are at risk for loss of ISP service and big fines. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Run virus checks on your computer regularly. Viruses, malware and spyware will attach to your address book and send out spam or other viruses without your knowledge. Keep your computer clean with regular checkups. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| Dictionary programs are designed to guess easy emails. If you create a new email address, use something more complicated than your name. Short emails are also easier to guess. Addresses hard to guess by scam programs have a lot less junk mail. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| If you forward a joke to some friends, put their emails in the BCC line so scraper programs can't extract them from your message. Also delete all the addresses you see at the top of the forward to help protect your friends from scammers. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| If you have a wireless router, be sure to secure it. Otherwise your neighbors could use your internet service and you'd be liable for any of their illegal downloads. Always secure your network so you don't share your bandwidth without your knowledge. Tip Credibility: 4 |
