Secret Things To Do Online And Save

By Cornelius Nunev


The Internet is a great tool. Occasionally, it's an unsavory or even dangerous tool, but nonetheless, the Internet stays multifaceted. Here are a few things you didn't know you could do on the internet, things that are secure, clean and productive. You may even save some cash.

Get a ring size

Get a ring and driver's license and go to FindMyRingSize.com to figure out what your ring size is. It is really simple to discern your size with the site and other online websites comparable to it. You can even use a virtual ruler if you do not have a ring as a comparison.

What type of glasses do you need?

Online eye ware retailer Warby Parker made it a lot easier for customers to determine their pupillary distance using a webcam, card and slip of paper. It is a great tool for customers trying to figure out the distance between their eyes. A prescription is simple to get, but the majority of the time, pupillary distance is not listed, making it hard to purchase glasses on the internet.
