Maybe you recently made the decision to become a work-at-home mom. Or, perhaps you are contemplating your options. Sometimes it’s scary to take that huge step of quitting your part or full-time job to start a business from home. Often, the reason for your feelings of ambivalence is financial. You wonder: Will I be able to earn enough money as a work-at-home mom?
While I don’t have a guarantee for you, I will offer you a few ways you can cut costs at home, at least for a while as you get your business off the ground. Hopefully, little by little, you can add back into your budget the things you’ve decided to cut out. Regardless, it’s usually wise to incorporate money-saving tips into our lives, even when we’re financially stable. Because we never know when there might come a time that cutting back will be necessary.
Here are 9 nifty and thrifty ways you can cut costs everyday.
1. GROCERIES. Clip coupons. Challenge yourself each week to see how much you can save. Another way to save on groceries is to buy generic brands. Personally, there are some brand name items I have to buy (like Pop-Tarts!) but other things, like jelly, cheese, and paper towels work as well and taste just as good as the higher priced brands.
2. CHILD-CARE. If you have friends with kids, why not swap babysitting so you can save on sitter costs?
3. CLOTHING. Shop consignment! Why go to the mall when you can get like-new brand-named clothing for a fraction of the cost? Who will ever know the difference? Also sell your kids clothes and use the money you earn (usually 40% of the selling price) to purchase other items.
4. BEAUTY. Check out your local beauty schools and training centers where hair cuts, manicures, and other services are offered for significantly less than you pay in a salon. Better yet, particularly if you have boys who have short hair, learn to cut it yourself! Hair trimmers are relatively inexpensive and there are several training resources on the market. http://www.hairfinder.com/howto/how_to_cut_hair.htm
5. EATING OUT. Since lunch is generally less expensive than dinner, consider dining out before 4:00 PM, when lunch menus are still available. Also, many websites offer online coupons. Another tip: choose to dine out during the week when restaurants often run weekday specials.
6. DRIVING. If you’re able to walk or ride your bike, do it. Besides saving on gas money, you’ll be getting fit, allowing you to also cancel that gym membership!
7. ENTERTAINMENT. Instead of renting two movies at your local video store every week, look into a movie club, like www.Netflix.com or www.blockbuster.com where you can rent the same number of movies for less money. Also, many movie theaters offer matinee discounts or other various specials.
8. MAINTENANCE. So some things you absolutely need to have done by a professional. But, whenever possible, do it yourself! Washing your own car and mowing your own lawn can save you bundles over the course of a year.
9. EVERYTHING. Comparison shop! Whether on eBay, local store ads, or online, find the cheapest price before going out to buy the item or obtain a service you’re looking for.
These are only a few ways you can cut costs every day. Check out: www.thriftyfun.com and www.betterbudgeting.com for more money-saving tips.

I am a member, but forgot my password. The info. you need–name and credit card # I cannot give as it puts me on to a non-secure site. What am I to do?
Evelyn Luscher eluscher@sbcglobal.net-
ANSWER:
After you get to the locator site, it asks for your last name and credit card number.Then you go to a site where you can change your password. That site does not need to be “secure.”
Speaking of security, it’s not a good idea to put your email address on here.

QUESTION:
How does the free Netflix trial work on the Wii?
Netflix says you get a free 30 day trial if you sign up, right? Its saying you have to pay on the website. And the Wii is telling me to go to www.netflix.com/activate, but that just sends me to the regular website. i want to have this free trial really bad. can someone tell me how to do this?-
ANSWER:
You must put in a Credit Card number before you get the free trial. Trust me, I tried. They probably did this because they wanted to suck you into the movies and such.Make sure you’re typing the address correctly into the address bar. Or try this: http://www.netflix.com/activate

QUESTION:
I need code to implement mouseover effect as on http://www.netflix.com/BrowseSelection?lnkctr=nmhbs?
My html page will have a list of icons and a mouseover on an icon will display a popup window with partial text from a mysql database. On clicking the icon, a new page will open with full text and an ajax star rating system. I need the same exact effect as they have on the netflix website where you mouseover the picture of a dvd and the popup window displays info about that movie from a backend dbase. I know I need ajax/php to do this but I don’t have the time to learn. If anybody has a script, knows of a script or would be interested in writing one, please let me know. Thx!!!-
ANSWER:
I do not know of a singular, free package that accomplishes both of these (the tooltip and the AJAX javascript/php glue) but it’s possible to accomplish this with a free tooltip package, with no AJAX glue required.The tooltip library on walterzorn.com (see the link below) allows passing HTML to the tooltip and offers a good set of customization options. The HTML is passed via “onmouseover” so you can have your PHP script put together the HTML (I wrote a function that does the mysql heavy lifting to generate the HTML based on the item ID). I found Walter’s tooltip package the easiest (and it’s free) and I was able to put together a nifty Netflix-style system in about an hour. Mousing over my items displays a custom pop-up, and clicking on the item sends the user to an info page.

QUESTION:
which would you pick, to rent a movie online, www.netflix.com or blockbuster.com? answer asap! thanks?-
ANSWER:
Just to end all of the myths that are apparently out there regarding blockbuster online…More Movies: Netflix has around 59,000, while BO has around 56,000. Whether it’s TV shows, old movies, or obscure documentaries, both services have them. The way that netflix is able to bolster their numbers is through the foreign film market where they get the “B” movies from India’s Bollywood. One report noted that they still have 7,000 titles that have been rented fewer than 5 times TOTAL across the country, while BO has 1,200 such titles.
Throttling: Netflix does it and is currently in litigation over it. BO doesn’t. Throttling is taking those customers who rent less and sending their movies out ahead of those who rent more. This works two-fold: they can make more profit off those who rent a lot by limiting the postage they have to spend on them, while those who rent less won’t realize that they aren’t getting their money’s worth because they get their movies quicker.
Costs: Both charge the same prices. Both have a free month offer. The only difference is the free in-store rental coupon that BO sends out every week. This coupon can be used on the hottest titles, which both Netflix and BO have trouble getting out to everyone in a timely manner.

QUESTION:
Is there any chance that Netflix will ever work on my PS3?
I want to get a device for netflix on my tv, but I will wait if ps3 ever plans on making it available.
I noticed that it works on xbox 360, but I don’t want to spend that much money.
thankshttp://www.netflix.com/NetflixReadyDevices?lnkce=nrd-otab
-
ANSWER:
Hi, although I wish PS3 would I don’t think they will since they do the rental movies in the playstation store however there is another way that you can watch movies on the PS3 from netflix and other sites as well you just have to download PlayOn http://www.themediamall.com/playon it does cost but is fairly cheap in my opinion 39.95 but they do have a free trial of 14 days so that you can test it out and it works on other sites besides netflix to watch videos so even if the PS3 doesn’t start this is the best bet that I have found

QUESTION:
Has anyone tried renting movies from Netflix ?http://www.netflix.com/
I would like to know if it is worth it or not? please i need info before i signup !
-
ANSWER:
I love Netflix. Love it. With all but the absolute bottom-line cheap subscription choices, you get unlimited streamed viewing of movies and TV shows right over your computer. They have numerous choices for subscriptions (1 at a time, 2 at a time … 8 at a time?) and you can keep as long as you like, no late charges. There are thousands of reviews so you can see whether or not you might like to rent something. They also have a trial period so you can check it out to see if it’s something you will want, before you commit.I get my movies in 2 days, and when I return them, Netflix gets them in about 2 days. That’s the norm, rarely does it take longer. I have had one single episode of the wrong disc being sent, and 2 episodes of a cracked or unplayable disc, and that’s in over 2 *years* of subscribing. Their customer service was quick and helpful, and replaced the discs immediately. They have a very efficient help service.
Perhaps others have not had as good of luck as I have, but my experience with them has been overwhelmingly positive.

QUESTION:
Netflix related: How do I watch the Starz Play movie channel on an X-Box 360?
I was able to watch it on my computer a moment ago. How do I watch it on a netflix ready movie player, such as an X-Box 360? I’ve been watching moves from my Instant Queue for years. Although, I just watched the Starz Movie Channel for the first time a moment ago. For reference, the followng link is what I am referring to: http://www.netflix.com/StarzLive-
ANSWER:
Just go to your netflix account (make sure your signed in) click on the tab that says “Instantly to your tv” Then scroll down until you see the xbox 360 and click on “Find out More” That will get you set up. I run my netflix in 3 different rooms off of my blu-ray player in one, nintendo wii in the other, and 360 in my boys room. As well as having it on my computer of course. Easy to set up, don’t sweat it !!!

QUESTION:
How does Netflix work?( need loads of help!)?
ok so I understand the signing up for it and that it has no late fees and its price is only about 5 bucks a month. Can you only watch it on your pc or mac for the 1 dvd at a time or 2 dvds a month.
if it sounds confusing..here’s the link:( its the first box of it)https://www.netflix.com/PickAProgram
i really want to know how the picking the progam stuff works :]]
-
ANSWER:
For the .99/month plan you can have one movie at a time, but can only get 2 movies a month. You also get 2 hours of instant viewing per month. Which means you will only get to see 3 movies total each month (2 by DVD and 1 instantly.)The other plans all include unlimited instant movie viewing and have varying amounts of DVDs you can have at one time.
I am on the 4 movies at a time plan, which means for .99/month I can have any 4 movies out at one time. When I send one back, they send me the next one on my list. You can put anything that netflix carries on DVD on your list and control the order in which you receive them.
For the online Instant viewing, not all movies are available. It is mostly just older movies, however the quality is good and the lag is very minimal. You can also send movies to your Xbox 360, HD TiVo, and some select Blu Ray players.

QUESTION:
Why can’t I gain access to my Netflix account?
Every time I enter in www.netflix.com I get the add for a free trial. I let another person use my computer and the most I can get is her rental history. How can I sign out hers and get to mine?-
ANSWER:
What probably happened is the last person who logged in netflix.com from your computer selected “Remember password / login / etc…” when accessing the netflix site. So, if you can’t find the logout option under netflix’s site. You can alternatively, delete cookies and passwords from your web browser. I use Firefox, and this it has it’s own Password Manager under the Edit > Preferences menu option. If you use Internet Explorer, similiar options are under Tools > Options… Under the Content tab there is an “auto complete” button. This will give you the option to “clear passwords”.A site that has this in more detail for Internet Explorer is here:

How do I get to the web? You took away the place where I enter www.etc.com?
It’s probably something simple that I’m missing but I’ve done everything but stand on my head to find it and am totally, totally frustrated with Yahoo at the moment! I wanted to enter www.netflix.com. Instead I had to put it in “Search” and got 176,000 choices! I truly don’t have time to mess with this! Please give me back my plain old Yahoo. thx.-
ANSWER:
Your address bar got unclicked somehow, probably. Go up to the top of your screen – somewhere under the blue bar that lists Yahoo! Answers and right click – you’ll see a few choices and one will be “address bar.” It probably DOESN’T have a check next to it. Click it – and you’ll get it back.

I have Netflix but unfortunately have no idea how long it takes. As long as you reported there was a problem they are aware of it. I reported a problem earlier this week and still it hasn’t been fixed. So at least give it a week. Then again there was a movie I reported on and in a couple of days it was taken down and has yet to be back up for instant

QUESTION:
does netflix have movies that aren’t on dvd yet?
like the new movie hereafter?
is it on netflix to order? heres a link…http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Hereafter/70134615
-
ANSWER:
Nope. They may show them on their site, but they aren’t really available. Just add it to your Que and you’ll find out, because it will usually just give you an “unavailable” or “long wait”.Also, like REDBOX, some studios don’t allow them to handle their movies for at least a month AFTER they are released to the public.
Of course, with Netflix it’s not a big deal, because NEW movies are next to impossible to get.

QUESTION:
Who has done the Blockbuster/Netflix challenge?
A couple of months ago, I tried both Netflix and Blockbuster Online at the same time (from a response I got here at Yahoo, by the way). I’ve read the consumer reports and all that stuff, and I ended up keeping BO because of the free in-store rental coupons every week. I recommend trying both and seeing which is better. They both have free trials right now:www.netflix.com/specialoffer
Promo Code: D80008716-or-
www.blockbuster.com/trial
Promo Code: 40037If you’ve tried both, please post your results.
-
ANSWER:
I had netflix for about 2 yrs before i tried blockbuster on a free trial. i ended up sticking with netflix. i guess i’m just loyal to them. that whole thing with throttling was a bummer…but i think after being sued they will straighten out. they have a distribution center here in atlanta, so i receive my movies fairly quickly. both are actually good, i think.

I used to have Netflix. It’s alright. I got a movie that was so scratched up it wouldn’t play once, but that could happen if you rent it from the store too. One good thing about Netflix is that it has a better selection than my local Hollywood Video. What I don’t like about it is having to wait for the movie that I want to come in.

QUESTION:
What is causing the security certificate error message when I go to Netflix?
I have a 5 year old HP desktop, and for security purposes, run Microsoft Security Essentials and MalwareBytes about once a week. In addition, for my email, I use the free version of Spamfighter. None of these tools seem to ever catch anything. Also, I have IE 8. Up until about a week ago, I would occasionally get script errors on certain pages, at least on pages from Yahoo. That seems to have stopped, but now I’m getting the following message when I go to Netflix: “There is a problem with this site’s security certificate. The security certificate presented by this web site was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.”I can’t get to any of these addresses on this computer:
http://www.netflix.com/MemberHome
http://www.netflix.com
https://www.netflix.com/login
I’m worried about logging onto any web sites. Can you please help me with some ideas for what might be causing this problem, what I can do to fix it, and prevent this from happening in the future?
Thanks–I really appreciate your help.-
ANSWER:
This message basically means your browser cannot validate the ssl certificate from netflix and i think probably the issue of netflix (which is GEOTRUST) is removed from your certificate manager – trusted root certificate authority (certmgr.msc).Alright, no more story telling, you can try to update your root certificates through the URL below:

Hope that by having the root updated can fix your problem.

ANSWER:
Honestly, right now is NOT a good time to be paying for this service. There is an extreme glitch on Netflix side that is causing slow and most times un playable videos. Netflix is aware of it and is working on the problem. How long will it take??? Your guess is as good as mine. Remeber this is a new service and there are bound to be kinks. I would do more research and hold off on trying to get this right now.
