How Twitter Can Save You Money

Posted By Sarah

BillSavings.com Brief:

If you are scratching your head and trying to figure out why people are using Twitter, here are some practical ways tweets can save you money.

You may be wondering what in the world all these people are doing on Twitter. It's becoming more than just an online cocktail party. You can actually use Twitter to save you money. Here are some ways you can save money with Twitter:

  • Save money on gas--As usual, gas prices are on the rise again for the summer vacation driving season. FuelFrog lets you log your gas expenses, mileage and other information so you can get cost per mile, and use it to adjust your driving or gas purchase behavior accordingly to save money. You can also consider My Mile Marker, where you can input fuel data at its web site, or from your mobile device on Twitter.
  •  Find coupons and deals--Many retailers are active on Twitter now tweeting out coupon codes and exclusive deals. If you wanted to follow several of your favorites, it would be cumbersome. Fortunately, there are some sites to make it easy for you to find the best Twitter deals. CheapTweet and Coupon Tweet combine coupon codes and deals from Twitter merchants (and other users) and publish real-time lists of deals by categories. You can also see how other users have rated the deals.
  • Stay on your budget better--Tweetwhatyouspend is like FuelFrog for everything you buy. You can keep a record via Twitter of every purchase, categorize items, and even add several purchases with a single tweet. Then you can get a running log of your spending by categories, and much more information to help you figure out where you can save money by cutting your expenses.
