Why are you reading this blog post when you could be reading acclaimed journalism or award-winning authors for free? Well, blogs like this one are good for money-saving tips. But if you stick with me for just a minute, you'll soon be reading something that saves your intellect, your sense of humanity and your money.

I recently found an amazing (and I don't use that word lightly) resource from Google that I think is completely under-used and seriously under-marketed. This resource is called Google Talks and it contains over 170 fascinating lectures, given to the very lucky and privileged Google staff, most around 1 hour long.

Recently a very good friend of mine told me about a mishap that involved his 8 year old son, a Wii remote and a large, expensive flat-screen LCD TV. Needless to say he wasn't happy. And it turns out he's not alone. Several people have reported problems with the Wii remotes, and as my wife recently got one I've also been a little concerned. Fortunately Nintendo is a great company. They have invented a rubber non-slip jacket for Wii remotes, and they're giving them away free to current owners of Wii systems.

A quick 'deal of the day' for you, and it's a great one. When my wife and I were expecting out first child we read "What To Expect When You're Expecting" from cover to cover. When the baby arrived, we quickly turned to this book. It's wonderful, it's well written and you can get it absolutely FREE.

It's not too often you can get a great deal and help mother nature at the same time. The National Arbor Day Foundation is giving away 10 free trees per household, including free shipping, when you become a member. Admittedly membership is not free, it's $10, but that's a small price to pay for such a worthy cause. You can choose from 10 flowering trees, 10 oak trees or, in my zip code, 10 Colorado Blue Spruce.

A quick free offer for you folks. No shipping, no tax, just a completely free t-shirt from your one-and-only Army National Guard. This is obviously part of the recruiting drive the ANG is going through to boost the numbers, but just remember to uncheck the box that allows a local recruiter to contact you (unless of course you actually want to sign up, which is your call entirely). To get your free t-shirt, just click this link and fill out the very simple form. In a few weeks, you'll have another free t-shirt to add to your collection. Enjoy.Posted July 17, 2007 - 09:00 by Sarah Winfrey
Here in America, we're rich. Sometimes, I hear that and file it in the same place that I filed the eat-your-dinner-there-are-starving-people-in-China lines from my childhood (I learned, early on, to smile and say, "Great...can we send them this?"). But it's true. We have the dubitable priviledge of managing our money, simply because we have more than it costs to buy our basic food and clothing. In our everyday lives, we have so much that we forget about. Here are a few of the hardest ones for me to remember.Have more to say? Join the discussions at Wise Bread's Finance and Frugality Forums.
