Want to know what’s coming in the mail before it actually arrives? The United States Postal Service launched a fairly new service called Informed Delivery that allows you to preview your mail that is expected to be delivered each day. You’ll get an e-mail every morning with scans of your actual letter-sized pieces of mail. Note that larger size packages are not included at this time, but may be added in the future. Appears to be available nationwide now. Let us know what you think!

Citibank to Refund Customers $330 Million
Calling all Citibank customers! If you have a Citibank credit card, you may be getting a refund for around $190! Reportedly, the bank discovered it had overcharged nearly 2 million credit card accounts a whopping $330 million on their annual interest rates. There is no way to find out if you’re eligible. You can avoid this issue in the future by paying off your bill every month if possible, which is something I highly recommend. All refund checks should arrive in the mail later this year!

Verizon Introduces New $30 Per Month Plan
Looking to save money on your cell phone bill? Starting February 20th, Verizon will be offering a new plan at a low price. For $30 per month, you’ll get unlimited U.S. talk, text and 500 MB of data. Now that isn’t much data at all, but for someone who sometimes listens to music and rarely checks their email, it may work out. I would suggest avoiding all social media including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram on this plan because they will eat away at your data rather quickly. You can add more data or switch plans at any time. Spread the word!

In-N-Out Now Serving Hot Cocoa (First Time Ever!)
Calling all In-N-Out fanatics! For the first time in 15 years, In-N-Out has added a new item to their menu: Hot Chocolate. The cocoa is made with Ghirardelli. An 8oz cup costs $1.65 and will be served all year round. I love In-N-Out but sadly they never ever release coupons or any type of promotions. Either way, I can’t wait to try it!
Thanks Sarah for the pic!
