www.dentaljobber.com
This is a free service to facilitate employment in the dental industry whether you are a dentist, assistant, hygienist, or front desk person / receptionist. It is unique in that it can allow for people who are already employed in the industry but who need additional hours and pay to find part-time work. It also assists practice owners to be able to find part-time employees without paying full-time fees and advertising rates.
The site is sponsored by a dental business mentoring firm to assist its clients to grow by providing dental services during off peak hours (but hours that are more convenient to most of the general public).

HOME SAVINGS IDEAS AND RESOURCES
THUNDER MTN WARD 2009
SAVING AND USING GROCERY STORE COUPONS
There are so many web sights that match up coupons for you and tell you exactly what coupons to use and where to find the coupons. They even provide direct links to internet coupons. A lot of these deals will result in free or almost free items, and some are even money makers. These web sights are a great resource, give you step by step directions, and are completely free.
Coupon Sources
Sunday Newspaper
www.dbe.azcentral.com ($1 Sunday paper)
Buy or Trade
Trading with friends, family, and neighbors is best and most economical. Make sure if you purchase them that it is worth it.

Printing out coupons can get expensive so use scratch paper as often as you can and for cheap ink refills go to: www.private.abacus24-7.com
E-coupons
These are coupons you can load on to your grocery store member cards and they automatically come off when you purchase the corisponding item. These can be stacked with paper coupons for double savings.

Sites help you get your finances in order
The following is an article from Kim Komando - visit her website here: http://www.komando.com/
Sites help you get your finances in order
10/7/2008
House prices are falling, and the cost of gas and food is on the rise. Specialized software and sites can help you manage these financial changes. And if you use the right resources, it won't cost you a thing.
Create a budget
The first step to taking control is to understand how you spend your money. Start by determining your basic living expenses such as housing, food and transportation.
Then, list other monthly expenses. This may take some work. So pull out your bills and credit card statements. Fortunately, free software can make light work of organizing it all.
SimpleD Budget (Windows) is a small program that helps you track expenses. You enter your monthly expenses and income. After allocating your money to certain categories, you enter payments as you make them.
You'll see when you're approaching the limit for a particular category. You'll also get an idea of how fast you're spending money.
Buddi (Mac/Windows) works much the same as SimpleD Budget. However, it can also help you generate various reports. For example, you can see how your net worth has changed over the months.
Another free finance manager is AceMoney Lite (Windows). It has more features than the other two. For example, it can download stock quotes from the Internet.
Review your credit report
Once you know where cutbacks can be made, you're ready to make changes. Maybe you want to downgrade your car to a cheaper model. Or perhaps you're looking for a car that uses less gas. And, of course, you may want to refinance your home.
Before you do this, you should review your credit report. A poor credit report can stifle your chances of locking in a lower rate on loans.
You'll want to check your report for accuracy and fraud. Then, you can contact the credit bureaus to correct errors.
You can get your credit report at AnnualCreditReport.com. You can request one copy from each of the three reporting institutions once a year. Those reports are free.
You must enter your Social Security number to get your report. If you're uncomfortable doing this online, you can mail your request.
AnnualCreditReport.com provides information on disputing items on your reports. However, it does not provide your credit score. For that, you'll need to pay about $10.
Find your credit score for free
Your credit score can play a large role when you apply for credit. Quicken Loans has an interesting site—Quizzle.com. It will give you a free credit report, and throws in a score. That is a Quizzle score.
It tells you how well you're doing as a homeowner. Quizzle also will help you gauge your home value. You'll also find out how to save on your mortgage. Additionally, there's a budget management tool.
Quizzle is interesting, even if you don't need a mortgage, or can't qualify. You should come away with a better understanding of your finances.
For now, Quizzle is aimed at homeowners. It should provide service to renters soon.
CreditKarma.com also provides you with a free credit score. The score comes from one of the three major credit-reporting bureaus. The site will also help you monitor your score over time.
CreditKarma provides you with special offers based on your credit score. For example, you can get a lower interest rate on credit cards. You may also apply for offers from cable companies and other businesses.
These are tough economic times. Using these resources could make them a little more bearable.
