When you send for a freebie, register for an online coupon, or enter a giveaway, you will be required to enter your email address. By doing so, you will start receiving email advertisements disguised as newsletters. These unwanted ads can easily overwhelm your inbox.
Avoid a cluttered personal inbox by creating an alternate e-mail address.
You can create a Google account (xxxxx@gmail.com,) or a hotmail account (xxxxx@hotmail.com) for free. I am certain that there are others, but I choose to use hotmail. Go to the Hotmail sign in page HERE and click the big blue signup button on the bottom. Choose an email name and password you can remember easily.
Enter your name and some minor personal information. Type the odd-looking characters in the text box (this is necessary to prevent automated programs from creating multiple email addresses,) and be sure to remove the check-mark in the box at the bottom. Accept the service agreement and you are done.
Be sure to write down the address and password so that you can get into the account at a future date.
I visit my alternate e-mail account once a week to delete everything. I don't even look - I just mark everything and click 'delete.' Hopefully this will help you as you begin getting freebies and coupons to save money !!
