Every Tuesday, we tweet personal finance tips to help you achieve your financial goals. Click here to follow us on Twitter. Below are some tips we tweeted last month.

If you’re buying merchandise online, make sure your browser is updated to protect you from unsafe sites and viruses.

Save big by learning when retailers mark down certain items: jewelry before Valentine’s Day, linens in Jan, fitness equipment early Jan, laptops during back to school sales, clothing near end of each season, mattresses during Memorial Day weekend.
