General
I use Dropbox to store diabetes documents across my computers and phones such as her rates and ratios and nutritional data PDF’s from restaurants. Open a free Dropbox account through this link and we both get an extra 250 MB of storage.
I shop through the EBATES when I can to look for coupon codes from online retailers and earn rebates.*
I’m taking some college classes and I was so happy to learn that Amazon Prime offers a student membership for half price.

I also subscribe to Zulily which has some great deals.
