Stamps Go Up 2 Cents Today To 44 Cents

Just a reminder. Today is the day that postage rates go up once again. First class postage goes up 2 Cents to 44 Cents. There are some other increases also like postcards go up a penny to 28 Cents. Check the USPS Price Guide for current rates.

Unfortunately it's kind of a vicious cycle. Internet and email give no cost alternatives (at least for those of us who consider broadband to be a required expense anyways). Lower mail volume, lower USPS income, raise rates. More people look for alternatives (pay bills on-line, send e-cards, etc.). USPS loses more income, raises rates.

I do use USPS for packages whenever I have occasion. You can ship priority mail by preparing, paying for and printing labels on their website. I then leave the package in a bag on my mailbox post. You can even get boxes free for priority mail shipping. The rates are reasonable, shipments are trackable, service is reliable. Try it.

Turtle Odyssey 2 Game Free Today

Give Away Of The Day's sister site Game Give Away Of The Day has a particularly decent looking game for free today called Turtle Odyssey 2. I usually don't mention these sites as a blog posting (I have a link in the side bar) but this game looks more promising than what is normally offered and it got fairly good user reviews.

Do Some Spring Cleaning On Your Computer

Giveawayoftheday.com has a particularly useful piece of software for their give-away today. Cleanse Uninstaller Pro 5 works to remove unwanted programs or leftover pieces of programs (often left behind when you uninstall). There are free alternatives, but this program does look particularly robust. These programs do tend to help speed up your PC (just as running defrag periodically does).

Dell Outlet 15% Off Coupon Code

I've always been a big supporter of buying refurbished computers through Dell Outlet. In fact, the computer I'm currently using is a Dell Outlet refurb which I bought over 6 years ago (dated I know, but it's P4 runs all the apps I need). Anyways, it runs like a champ; for a few years it was left running day and night. Haven't had any failures. I just upgraded memory and hard drive (because I needed more space), threw in a dvd writer also (for backups). Was a great ROI on an investment of only $250.

Anyways, through 3/11/09 get 15% off any Dell Outlet Inspiron, Studo or XPS models when you use coupon code: Q8HLTV72VFMN9K. It looks like this applies to both desktop and laptop models.

Also, through 3/11/09 get 15% off refurbished Dell Outlet E207WFP 20" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor. Plus, free standard shipping on all refurbished flat panel monitors. Use coupon code: 9TMLZ?V36$T1LL.

Brother P-Touch 1010 Label Printer $6.49 Shipped at Buy.com

These label printers come in handy as you get organized in 2009 after filing away everything from 2008. Use to label folders, totes, bins, kids school supplies, etc. I have this model at home and it works fine for me. More expensive models offer more type styles (a frill most of us don't need).
With free shipping, you can't go wrong:

Brother P-Touch 1010 Thermal Label Printer

TurboTax Deluxe $33.50 at Buy.com

TurboTax Deluxe Federal + State + Federal E-File 2008 $33.50

Add $3.49 for shipping brings the total to $36.99...the lowest price I can find on the internet or locally. This edition includes the Federal and State program and allows one free Federal e-filing. You can print the state return for free, but you have to pay extra to e-file the state (I think it's somewhere in the $15-$20 range).
