Save Money - Blog Posts

Man if I had any money.

Internet banking is just dealing with programming instead of actual people who judge u on how much less money u r depositing.

Since everything is so damn expensive, here’s a post for the students.

If you need a tutor but can’t afford one there are some FREE solutions and resources out there.

Kahn academy has a shit ton of math and science courses, I l’ve signed up for self-paced math courses before and used them to practice and reexplain algebra equations to me multiple times. All of their lessons are short too, so you can get right to the heart of the issue

3blue1brown and Patrickjmt are both visual based math YouTube channels.

Purdue Owl (online resource) has tons of writings on the mechanics of writing

Language Transfer (mobile app) has some beginning lessons for several foreign languages. Also lingo deer is an alternative to duo lingo.

Reblog with more so we can all share resources :)

Kodi

Kodi, or XBMC, is flexible open-source software for streaming media players. It has dozens of add-ons for playing video from lots of places on the Internet, right on your TV. At the fair today, I saw a couple shady vendors selling little Android boxes with Kodi for hundreds of dollars. If you really want to save money, just buy a cheap Amazon Fire TV stick and do it yourself. It’s not that hard.

Finally, XKCD makes an indirect apperance on the House of Hitstun. Randall Munroe also answers lots of hypothetical "What If?" questions online and offline. I've linked to this video in the "Source" section below.

Buying Gift Cards for the Discounts

Grocery stores chains like Giant Eagle and Kroger like to give discounts on fuel when you buy gift cards. If they have gift cards for places I’m already going to anyway, I use them as much as possible. I even buy GameStop gift cards that I take to GameStop to buy gift cards for other places, earning points twice. Gift cards have their own problems but save money when you can by buying them for yourself.

The real reason for this post was to show off this wall of Fuelperks discounts I just got. Half of that gift card balance was spent before I even left the Giant Eagle parking lot.
