Office Depot is offering “25 free one-sided copies” of your resume and will fax them to five places for free.

Walgreens is offering service at their in-store health clinics to a recently unemployed person and their “uninsured family members for free during certain hours.” The coverage is limited. They will not cover allergies, respiratory problems, skin conditions – checkups and vaccinations.

Pfizer is offering “more than 70 of its drugs [to those] who have lost their jobs after jan.1 and had been prescribed the pill three months before being laid off. That includes Viagra, by the way.” This offer extends to those who have lost their health insurance or experienced financial difficulty.

Bank of America is waiving monthly maintenance fees on checking accounts for folks who have been unemployed for three months.

PricePlease.com is an online service that monitors price changes on specified products and alerts consumers of these changes where online shoppers can choose from two different ways to save.

Two types of Alerts:

1. Price Drop Alert monitors desired products for you in advance before any major purchases.  It will send you a price change notification via email so that you are not attached to the computer.  It does the work for you which makes it a lot easier for you to continue with your day-to-day activities without interruption.  The alerts only last 30 days, however, you can always start your price alert all over again.
2. Refund Alert allows you to track items recently purchased and request a refund.  This is called the refund alert which monitors the price reduction.  Some retailers have their own price protection policy which automatically refunds the customer the monetary difference of your purchase price and the reduced price.
   

E-mail Alerts

You can set up a valid email address to receive price changes alert of desired items purchased or for future purchases. You also have the option to decline email alerts if you wish.  This is a very user friendly site which allows you to change or edit your account.
