FrugalFilter: I used to do _____, but now I use _____ on the internet for free! Examples and …
Here are some of my favorite things to do on-line that used to cost money in the real world:
I used to pay for long-distance calls, but now I use Skype.
I used to buy stamps to mail my bills, but now I’ve discovered online bill pay at my bank’s web site. I still can’t believe that they mail out the check for me, to anyone in the US!
I once thought of paying for satellite radio (Sirius, XM), but now just listen to Pandora.
I used to buy blank CD’s to back up my data, but now I use the 2GB free storage/backup system at Mozy.
Anyways, I’m sure that there’s more to discover. What’s your favorite way to save money with the internet?
I used to buy newspapers/magazines, now I get all my news and print entertainment online.
