How To Find Cheap Electronics
If you’re reading this right now and you’re a fan of electronics (who isn’t?) then you’ve definitely just hit it big. We’re about to give you our favorite sources of cheap electronics. Yes, that’s right. We aren’t going to charge you for giving away some secret location or vault that is slam packed full of electronics at close out prices. Instead, we’re going to give you a few places that you can look which are usually home to great deals on electronics. You probably even already know of these places but never thought to look there. Ready?
Craigslist
Yes, Craigslist isn’t just for posting jobs or selling cars even though that’s what most people think. It’s also home to some great prices on used electronics. We’ve seen 42 inch LCD TVs for as little as $200 and Canon 7Ds for around $600 (they usually retail at over $1,000). You can even find used gaming consoles for 1/3 of what they sell for in major retail stores.
eBay
Okay, this one is kind of obvious but we just had to throw it in there anyways. Most people go on eBay in search of things like clothing, jewelry, and collectibles (it’s home to a ton of movie memorabilia and autographs). You can also find new and used electronics on there. Notice how we said new AND used? That’s because most stores also have eBay accounts where they sell new items that they couldn’t sell in the store at even better prices!
Local Classifieds
Every once in a while, you’ll find some pretty good deals on electronics in your local classifieds. Most every area has them and some areas even have them set up through local radio stations with an actual website where people can post their items for sale. You can probably even find local groups near you via social media sites like Facebook. Just do a quick search of “Classifieds” or “Trading” along with your city and state. Yep, that easy!
Salvage Stores
These are few and far between but they do exist. They are basically stores that sell items with damaged packaging or some minor imperfection at prices well below retail. Just one example of that would be a sound system that is still in the box that is missing the remote or the box may be damaged (the item inside isn’t). Some of the items are also just stuff that has been returned to stores in the past and there isn’t a thing wrong with it at all.
If you look for cheap electronics at all these locations and don’t find what you’re looking for then something is seriously wrong. We’ve had great success with all of these sources in the past and chances are, you won’t even make it past Craigslist or eBay unless you’re just up for a little challenge. There is literally always an abundance of cheap electronics on both of those sites and if you play your cards right, you may even land some cool free shipping!
Now, what are you waiting for? Get out there and find those cheap electronics asap!

Cheapest Way To Start A Blog
We get it. You’re ready to start your very first blog but aren’t quite sure where or how to start. That’s okay though. We’ve got you covered! We’re going to run you through the basics of starting your very own blog (for the first time) and how to do so without dumping a big chunk of change into it. After all, it’s all about saving money or making money, right? Well, with your very own blog, you can do both at the same exact time. That is, if you follow the fail proof advice below. Anxious to get started? Good! Let’s do just that!
Buy A Domain
While this may seem like a simple process, it’s really not. You should definitely put some time into coming up with a good name. Keep as short as possible but sweet at the same time. For example, JohnDoesVeryFirstBlogOnline.com probably isn’t the best domain in the world but you could do something like TheJDBlog.com if it’s available. We’ll leave the creative part up to you. How much is a domain? Expect to pay around $10 a year or so.
You can buy your domain at places like GoDaddy.com or Yola.com
Get Hosting
Chances are, wherever you buy your domain will be the same place that you get hosting. We’ve seen hosting for as little as $2 or $3 a month but chances are, you’ll need to upgrade as your blog starts to get more readers. Blue Host is a good company to go with as they offer affordable “beginner packages” as well as VPS hosting and Dedicated Servers. Just make sure that they have cPanel (don’t worry, it’s extremely easy to figure out) installed.
Use WordPress
This is one of the most popular (if not the most popular) blogging platforms out there and it’s 100% free to use. Most hosting companies will give you the option to install it with the click of a button. Choose a free them (or find one). You can always buy one later if you stick to blogging or hire someone to make you a custom Word Press theme. It’s also easy!
Manage Your Own Content
Later on down the road, you may want to hire a writer or two (or a SEO guy) to help your blog make it to the next level. Until you’re making some decent money off of your blog, we recommend managing your own content. It requires more work on your end but will save you a ton of money and allow you to test the waters. In other words, pinch pennies!
Monetize It
Monetizing something basically means to set something up to make money. A place that most people start is with Google AdSense. You’ll basically get paid for every person that visits your blog and sees an advertisement. You also get “paid per click” but you should never click your own advertisements or advise anyone else to. That’s asking for trouble!
And that’s it! That’s all that you need to do. The rest of the blanks will fill themselves in and you’ll basically learn as you go. Just be prepared to update regularly (even just on a weekly basis is fine) and go through some trial and error. In a few months time, you may make enough money to pay for your hosting and to hire a guest writer from time to time.
You may even make enough money to pay your bills. Who knows? But let’s give it a shot!

4 Affordable Brands of Computers
Being a stay at home mom, there’s one thing that you probably need either to make some extra money or to keep your sanity. Yep! You got it! You definitely need a good desktop computer but you probably don’t want to spend a ton of money on it which is perfectly fine. There are quite a few computer manufacturers out there that put out quality computers at some very affordable prices. Below, you’ll find the 4 brands of computers that we think are the best bang for your buck. In other words, these computers can be found for $500 or less. Ready to take a look and get started? Great! So are we so enjoy!
Gateway
The first brand of quality computers on our list is Gateway. We’re particularly fond of the DX series which is home to both dual core and quad core computers. If you look hard enough, you can even get your hands on a powerful quad core computer for under $500. The same can usually be said about the other brands on our list as well but there’s one key difference. We would trust our lives in the hands of Gateway. Yeah, they’re that good!
Acer
Okay, so this one may be a little biased being as Acer is tied in with Gateway but that doesn’t matter. They’re still released and marketed as two separate brands so we’re going to treat them that way. Most people who aren’t “in the know” treat Acer as if they were a cheap, unreliable brand much like E-Machines but that isn’t the case. Acer totally rocks!
HP
HP is on our list but we do have one complaint before we move on. HP computers tend to come loaded with a bunch of software that you don’t need (or probably want) but if you get yours built to order (a lot of sites do this now), you can get a quality computer for a fair price. They’re not the greatest computer for working from home but if you just need a good computer to get your entertainment fix with, HP may be the brand you should get.
ASUS
Much like HP, ASUS computers are powerhouses when it comes to entertainment but in a very different way. If you’re into computer gaming but don’t want to fork up the money for something like an Alienware, we recommend going with an ASUS computer. In fact, we’ve seen some very good ASUS gaming laptops selling used for around $400 to $600.
Regardless of what computer you go with off of this list, we’re pretty confident that you’ll be happy. Not only will you be getting a computer that could easily last 5 to 10 years, you’ll be getting a computer that didn’t cost a lot of money in today’s market. When you think about it, that’s really the best of both worlds. You’re getting a good product at a good price. After all, that’s what we’re all about here at Pinching Your Pennies. Saving money, getting good products, and finding overall values. Now, let’s work on getting a new cpu!

4 Cheap Party Ideas For St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner (it’s March 17th) and we wanted to take a few minutes out of our day to give you 4 Cheap Party Ideas For St. Patrick’s Day. We know that most of you love to celebrate the holidays but sometimes we just don’t have the kind of money needed to have a good time. At least, sometimes we don’t think that we do. You see, you don’t always have to blow hundreds or even thousands of dollars to have a good time. In fact, you won’t even have to spend $100 on St. Patrick’s Day in 2014. Cool, huh?
Now, enough with the teasing. We’re going to give you those 4 reasons right now!
Green Food Coloring
This first cheap party idea is pretty self explanatory. Invite a few friends over, serve them their drinks, and use green food coloring in each one. We know that you may decorate or do whatever you do but there’s nothing like having a green drink on St. Patrick’s Day. It makes things way more authentic and it’s very neat to look at as well. It’s also very cheap!
Irish Music
Alright, so you’re having a few friends over and your party is planned to near perfection. What’s it missing? Probably some Irish music! It doesn’t have to be authentic Celtic music or anything but playing a few Dropkick Murphy’s songs for the guys definitely won’t hurt. You can get the music needed on iTunes, buy a couple CDs for $20-$30, or hook up your smart phone to a portable speaker (if you have one) and search “Irish music” on Pandora.
Bake For Ireland
Have kids? Don’t have a babysitter? If you answered yes to both of these questions then you probably don’t want to have alcohol involved in your St. Patrick’s Day party, right? Of course not! So, what do you do? We suggest trying to bake some Irish themed food. It could be something as simple as cookies with four leafed clovers on them or making a generous portion of green Jell-o. Be creative and be sure to stick to the good green stuff, ya know?
Find An Irish Pub
If you don’t want to do something at home but still don’t want to go out and spend a fortune, just about every moderate sized city has an Irish style pub that is open year round. Even if you’re unfortunate enough not to have one, a local establishment of some kind is sure to be hosting various festivities for St. Patrick’s Day so go and check them out!
Of course, if none of these ideas appeal to you or you’re simply just not worried about having an Irish style St. Patrick’s Day celebration, you could always check out your local St. Patrick’s Day parade if you have one. It’s family friendly, safe, and won’t cost you a dime. Best of all, if you have kids, they’ll probably go home with a ton of candy and a smile on their faces. If you ask us, it doesn’t get much better than free and happy now does it?
