San Francisco named most frugal city in America

Despite high costs of living, residents still find ways to save money

The Coupons.com Savings Index listed San Francisco as 2014’s most frugal city in America. The nation’s capital, Washington D.C., took second place, while two Florida cities (Orlando and Tampa) followed closely behind. Several other cities in the South, such as Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, and Virginia Beach, made the Top 10 alongside Cleveland and Denver.

San Francisco’s notoriety for its skyrocketing cost of living could be the reason why it reached the top spot for frugality. According to one report, one would have to earn almost $30 a hour — over four times the federal minimum wage and almost triple the local minimum wage — to afford a one-bedroom apartment in the city. Many people in the city take in roommates or live with their partners in order to alleviate the cost of housing (and living in general).

“The top 10 frugal cities collectively saved more than $252 million by using Coupons.com, which demonstrates the powerful savings coupons can offer shoppers who are looking for ways to be financially smart,” said Jeanette Pavini, Coupons.com Savings Expert.

“Perhaps the biggest surprise of this year’s list is San Francisco — known for wealthy tech entrepreneurs and off-the-chart housing prices — as being the capital of couponing,” Pavini added. “We also saw that San Franciscans were three times more likely to use coupons than residents from other U.S. Metros.” A notable exclusion from the list was New York City — even though the Big Apple features its own high cost of living.

Of course, San Francisco is also known for its high cost of doing business. To stay profitable, businesses often pass costs onto the consumer, such as in 2012 when Subway discontinued $5 footlongs in San Francisco. However, San Francisco residents also enjoy an average household income of $75,604, beating all cities in the Top 10 by almost $10,000. This could give San Franciscans more disposable income to buy products and services, though they clearly prefer to use coupons for them as well.

How to change margins in Google Docs

Laptop Working from Home

When you create a document in Google Docs, you may need to adjust the space between the edge of the page and the content --- the margins. For instance, many professors have requirements for the margin sizes you must use for college papers.

You can easily change the left, right, top, and bottom margins in Google Docs and have a few different ways to do it.

What is Microsoft Teams? How to use the collaboration app

Online team collaboration is the new norm as companies spread their workforce across the globe. Gone are the days of primarily relying on group emails, as teams can now work together in real time using an instant chat-style interface, no matter where they are.

Using Microsoft Teams affords video conferencing, real-time discussions, document sharing and editing, and more for companies and corporations. It's one of many collaboration tools designed to bring company workers together in an online space. It’s not designed for communicating with family and friends, but for colleagues and clients.

Microsoft Word vs. Google Docs

For the last few decades, Microsoft Word has been the de facto standard for word processors across the working world. That's finally starting to shift, and it looks like one of Google's productivity apps is the heir apparent. The company's Google Docs solution (or to be specific, the integrated word processor) is cross-platform and interoperable, automatically syncs, is easily shareable, and perhaps best of all, is free.

However, using Google Docs proves it still has a long way to go before it can match all of Word's features -- Microsoft has been developing its word processor for over 30 years, after all, and millions still use Microsoft Word. Will Google Docs' low barrier to entry and cross-platform functionality win out? Let's break down each word processor in terms of features and capabilities to help you determine which is best for your needs.
How does each word processing program compare?
To put it lightly, Microsoft Word has an incredible advantage over Google Docs in terms of raw technical capability. From relatively humble beginnings in the 1980s, Microsoft has added new tools and options in each successive version. Most of the essential editing tools are available in Google Docs, but users who are used to Word will find it limited.
