Sears Wants You To Give Even More Of Your Money To The Military

Posted on December 1, 2008 - Filed Under Military, Shopping | 3 Comments

Apparently, Sears thinks the government isn’t sending enough of our money to the soldiers and they’re ready to do something about it with their Sears Heroes at Home Wish Registry. Make sure you read that title correctly. Sears isn’t offering to send the soldiers more money. No, they’re asking that you send more of your money to soldiers and their families in the form of Sears gift cards. And they’re making it easy by setting up a web page (linked above)…

Picture_8 For a guy who’s not really a fan of institutions I’ve actually written quite a bit about the institution of marriage here at Philaahzophy. It seems that the men and women around me don’t share my general opinion of the ritual. And everyone knows that we’re quickly approaching the three biggest proposal days of the year: Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day.

When I got married I could barely afford any ring, but had I the choice and the opportunity I…

Dear Santa: I Want A Roller Coaster

It’s been about 30 years since I wrote a letter to Santa Clause, but modern technology has made everything so much easier that the practice is a bit passe, is it not? Zaira tells me that no one sends actual snail mail to the North Pole anymore. It’s either email, text message or a video. So, I decided to go for the latter. Without further adieu (or any more more details that will simply be repeated below) I offer y’all…

Discounts On Auto AC Parts Make Rover That Much Cooler

Posted on November 24, 2008 - Filed Under Road Trippin', Shopping | Leave a Comment

With gas prices reaching three-year lows and all of Rover’s major operations taken care of (transmission, heater core, electrical system, etc) I’ve got a little extra cash to invest in the optional repairs Rover could use. For example, when I bought Rover (he’s our beloved 1989 Ford Bronco in case you’re new here) the price was a little higher than necessary because he came with factory installed air conditioning. Of course, more than 20 years later and the air conditioning…

Gas Prices Not Dropping Fast Enough? How About Free?

Earlier this week I wrote (on one of my other blogs) about Safeway’s PowerPump Gas Rewards program and how you can use it to save a ton of money on gas. I know not everyone has a Safeway (or Safeway gas) in their area, which is why I wrote the article on my local blog. However, I have since learned that Krogers (and possibly other members of…

Here’s Some Gift Cards You Probably Haven’t Considered

Posted on November 19, 2008 - Filed Under Health Care, Shopping | Leave a Comment

As y’all know I’ve become a big fan of gift cards over the last few years. Not only are they good gifts, but I also use them as a tool for saving (both in the “storing money” sense and the “discounted purchases” sense). I’m always keeping my eyes out for more gift card information, innovation and opportunities. But here’s one that I’m guessing very few other people are aware of - health care gift cards from Cryo-Cell.
