OK…think of the number of times you’ve been out and about and need to call your favorite Chinese restaurant for take-out, or call a business to get directions (while you’re driving round the block trying to find it), or call the dry cleaners to see if you’re clothes are ready to pick up. 

The only problem is you don’t have the number of the business. Inevitably, you dial 411 and pay $0.50 or more to get the number.  Here’s a SAVE MONEY tip.  Google launched a business 411 directory that costs you $0.00.  That’s right, absolutely nothing!  Keep in mind, its a service for looking up businesses only, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before it includes residential listings as well.  You can also text message Google the name of the business and it will text you back the contact info  Here’s a nifty video that show’s you how to take advantage of it.  I figure that saves you at least $15 to $30 a year.
