Just Plain Frugal

Okay, apparently I’m oblivous. Well, actually what I am is too cheap to keep buying music on iTunes but it turns out money is not necessarily an issue.

Every week iTunes has a free featured song you can download for free.

If you already have iTunes just open your iTunes folder, go to the store and in the middle of the first page it should have an image that has.

They’re not all my style but I’m definitely willing to give it a listen.

If you don’t have itunes yet you can get it for free HERE. Even if you don’t have an ipod you can still organize all your CDs on your computer and get a ton of great free stuff.

My favorite thing is the free podcast for the “couch to 5k” workout. I’m trying to lose weight and I don’t have the patience to time myself and this song set with verbal cues for when to walk and run is also FREE.

I love free.

Do you swing by Starbucks from time to time? Did you know they have a program with iTunes where each week Starbucks has a iTunes pick of the week?

You pick up the card at the register or sometimes you have to ask for them. Sometimes they have older Picks of the week still available.

How to download your free content on iTunes:
1) Download iTunes for Mac or Windows, if you don’t have it already
2) Open iTunes and click iTunes Store
3) Click Redeem under Quick Links
4) Enter the gode on the card and your download will start immediately.

Each card has a unique code and there is an expiration date so beware!

iTunes/Starbucks Pick Of The Week

Every time we prance in for our grande cinnamon cappuccinos, we score a little jive with our java. Pick up one of the iTunes cards sitting on the counter and download a free song by punching in the code. Good for our ears – and wallets!
