You can build your own playlists, called stations, on Pandora.com to listen to music based on artist, style, or a particular song.

It is described as the “Music Genome Project” because they make recommendations of music based on the artist or song that you choose.

Pandora.com is totally free and worth a look!

Another terrific website for your Summer viewing pleasure is called www.Hulu.com

Their website describes Hulu.com as a free online video service that offers access to hit TV shows anytime, including Family Guy, 30 Rock, and the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, etc.

Current and vintage movies and documentaries are also available for viewing, including National Geographic specials.

And it’s all free!  How can you not like that?

Of course, most people are familiar with www.YouTube.com where people share their videos with the world!

You can watch everything from classic Michael Jackson music videos to current news, politics and sports.

There are even how to videos showing everything from hanging wallpaper to applying makeup.

Check it out! www.YouTube.com

One of my absolute favorite frugal places to rent current movies is www.Redbox.com

Redbox vending machines are typically found in grocery stores and drugstores, which makes it perfect for grabbing a movie when you are out running errands.

The price is right too!  Movies can be rented for only $1 a night. You can even go online to the Redbox website and reserve a movie, so you know it’s available when you get to the vending machine.

Relax–you deserve it!
