A. It's been a long time since I set it up, but I believe as soon as you try to go to the iTunes store through iTunes or when you first try to buy something you'll basically have to set up an account (all regular questions asked) and set up some form of credit or debit card payment. After that whenever you click you want to buy certain songs or albums they'll immediately download and your card will be charged within a day or so.

A. Buy the cheapest groceries you can. Try to avoid name brand items that are more expensive just because of the name. Don't buy based on what you want, buy based on what you need. To save on gas, plan your trips and write out your grocery lists before going into the store. Get coupons and stock up on things that are on sale. Especially meats. Make soups that will last all week. And you can also start your own vegetable garden. Its a great hobby and really saves on grocery shopping. You can grow them indoor if you would like, so even that way you can have fresh cheap veggies year-round!!! Plan to go out no more than 2-3 times a week for shopping. If you don't need new clothes, don't buy any. good luck!!!
