Now and until February 28, 2010, Bank of America is offering $100 sign up bonus when you open a new checking account, fund it to $500 and make at least one transaction with the newly assigned check card. The terms seem to be pretty straightforward and I am tempted to give it a try, just need to remember to mention the offer code posted on the promotion page (it is the same for each state I tried: AOU261209).

This is January 2010 revision of the Popular Deal Sites list. You can find the last month revision of the list here.
The change in rating shows the difference compared to December results and includes all deal sites from my database that meet Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement. A total of 40 sites have made it this month which is 3 less than the last month
The average deal site lost 3.04% in Alexa rank this month. The top gainer this month is logicbuy.com (15.15%). The top loser is redtagdeals.com (-18.89%) however there were a couple more websites that didn't fare much better (dealslist.com and keepcash.com). Please enjoy the complete list below.

This is a roundup of the current promotions on the online version of TurboTax tax preparation software, the kind of software I have used for several years and will use this time as well.
Pick the type that fits your needs (Basic, Deluxe, Premier, or Home & Business), compare the prices below, and use the link to go to the promotion page. Bookmark it and make sure to use the same link every time you go back to continue your taxes.
It looks like I will go with Fidelity or USAA again this year. I need Home and Business (both federal and state) and these companies offer the best discount combination. Please tell me which software you use. Also comment if you know any other on-going TurboTax promotion and I will update this blog post.

The Amazon elves that bring us coupons each month have still been asleep. The company just released a new set of grocery coupon codes however it is still relatively scarce compared to last year. Nevertheless I will post them as usual in a list sorted by discount so it is more convenient to pick those with the best value. All coupons below expire February 28, 2010.
The discount in parenthesis is what you will get if you use Amazon Subscribe & Save program. If you like these Amazon coupons, I also recommend you to check out these Amazon discount codes. The best part is that these codes don’t have an expiration date!

One could say I am very meticulous as far as record keeping goes. I try to keep every more or less important paper document (receipts including) and over the past years several boxes have stocked up my basement storage space, all filled with records. I have a feeling however that I am overdoing it and the time has come to revise my record keeping strategy.
It is good to have a systematic approach and moderation is the key. If you try to keep all papers then finding the right one will be increasingly difficult, on the other hand you don’t want to be missing some important document either since it could end up costing you time and money. So what is this minimum that you need to maintain?
