Here’s a recent purchase I got online. We use a lot of batteries at home for our gadgets and my baby’s toys. The baby’s toys alone consume a lot of batteries and it tugs on my green conscience every time we have to replace and throw away batteries and that’s quite often since we [...]

The Universal Studios Theme Park in Singapore is set to open to the public this March 18 at 8:28AM.

Credit card hidden charges

Ms. Tsiken — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:14:07 +0000

Here’s another reason you should watch your credit card bills closely. Aside from making sure you are not paying for fraudulent charges made on your card, you should also take a look at the finance charges you are being charged with. I usually pay my credit card bills in full so that I don’t pay finance charges. [...]

So with the inflow of US dollar into the country, the exchange rate is strengthening in favor of the Peso. That’s good news if you’re online shopping in the [...]
