Pay less in sales tax and computer tricks
I'm starting to think about Christmas gifts and that means shopping on the internet for presents. Kelli Grant over at SmartMoney.com put together a nice list of merchants that don't charge sales tax. The bummer is that buy.com charges California residents sales tax.
I found some tricks called "20 Things They Don't Want You to Know" over at PCWorld. One of the dirty little secrets is that extended warranties aren't worth it (but I already knew that). What I didn't know is that there is a website dedicated to telling you how to skip the computer prompts to be able to speak to a real person at a bunch of different companies (I've used the Cingular one and it worked).
