          Does being online save you money

          Have you ever thought that having internet might actually be saving you money? You might feel a squeeze when you pay the hefty bill to the broadband company every month, but can you really afford to live without it?!

          We don’t have cable service, but I can’t imagine how much life would cost if we didn’t have the internet to inform us about all the deals out there.

          There is a new study by the Internet Innovation Alliance that shows that the average household saves more than $7,200 per year over 10 main categories (see below).  They estimate an annual household food budget of $3,624 with a savings of $942 just from having internet access!!

          SaveMoneyOnline

          Looking at my Friday Finals for 2010, we spent $2,272.47 and saved a whopping $5,621.31 (71%) last year. This was for a family of 5 and the best part is, it’s not just food, but also includes household & personal care items too!

          I’d say for the average coupon-minded family, we all save a lot more than this study shows.  

          Have you ever tallied your yearly savings from online sales, coupons and deals? What would these numbers look like for your family?

                  How many of you are like me and have wanted a Cracker Barrel rocking chair every time you saw them?

                  One of our favorite parts of eating at Cracker Barrel is enjoying the Old Country Store rocking chairs on their front porch.

                  These chairs are great quality and have been made by the same family company for 5 generations.  You can either buy them in the store or get ready-to-assemble chairs online.  The ready-to-assemble chairs are the exact same quality rocker used on Cracker Barrel’s front porch – it just requires some assembly.   Don’t worry all the tools you need are included with the rocker. All rockers are made from knot-free solid hardwood, no fillers and features a signature Cracker Barrel Old Country Store medallion on the back of the chair.  The medallion is a symbol of quality.  If you want to give a Cracker Barrel Rocking chair as a gift, you can ship to yourself or directly to the recipient for free and you can even have it gift wrapped!

                  I long for a front porch filled rocking chairs overlooking a beautiful picturesque view.  Right now though I have no front porch and the view would be of toys in my front yard and the neighbors driving by.  So I will live vicariously through one of you!!

                  The Giveaway:

                  Cracker Barrel will be sending one of their Old Country Store ready-to-assemble rocking chairs to one Southern Savers reader.
