Free Tax Prep - Is Your AGI Less than $52k?

the IRS website offers free federal tax prep to people with AGI's less than $52k (Adjusted Gross Income).

Here the site link

I like HR Block's online tax software, but check them out for your self.

Note that if you go to HR Block's site they'll charge you between $20-30 bucks to have your federal taxs prepared. So by simply using the link on the IRS website you save $20-30 bucks!

Coffee on the Cheap - Thank Heaven for 7-11?

Dunkin Donuts - $2.07
Honey Dew - $1.89
Mcdonalds - $1.80+

The avergae price of a large coffee (16oz+) is about $1.92 per cup. If you buy once per day for a year; you're looking at around $700 per year.

But, @ 7-11 you can fill your own travel mug for $.99. You can add $350 to your yearly budget by going to 7-11 for your daily coffee!

If you want to get even cheaper...go to ebay and search 7-11 gift card. See what comes up. you may be able to score a a card for 90% of it's stated value. Give it a try and let me know how it works out!
