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)…

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…

Last month I worte an article titled Maximizing Savings By Playing The Gift Card Market which has proven to be one of my most popular. Consider this a Friday Frugality Follow-up (man, I just loves me some alliteration 
).
According to a report from my local CBS affiliate, KPIX channel 5-
Since January 1st California merchants have to give you cash back for anything under $10 if you ask…
Maximizing Savings By Playing The Gift Card Market

Part of the Friday Frugality Series - Previous in series Next in series
I thought I’d start the first installment of Friday Frugality with a confession: I’m a shopaholic. More accurately I’m a spendaholic. I love to spend money. What I’m spending it on doesn’t matter nearly as much as that I’m spending it. I even love spending money on the new pants I constantly have to buy to replace those with burned pockets 
That’s one of the reasons I’m…
All I Want For Christmas Is To Be A Winner!
Posted on December 3, 2007 - Filed Under Contests, Shopping | Leave a Comment
Okay, just because I’m not a big fan of Christmas doesn’t mean I’m not a fan of Christmas contests. In fact, Overstock.com’s All I want for Christmas Giveaway pretty much defines (and then solves) my major problem with any gift-giving holiday. Observe-
Yes, Overstock wants to give you and up to five friends exactly what they want for Christmas. Here’s how it works:
- Register for Overstock.com (if you’re not already a user)
- Search through Overstock’s entire inventory (up to the $1,000 limit) and find the…
Giving The Gift Of Wine - Monthly
Posted on December 2, 2007 - Filed Under Shopping | Leave a Comment
I recently received a sample package from The Gold Medal Wine Club. This was a bit ironic since I don’t drink (though not nearly ironic as my having worked in a liquor store for three years as a non-drinker). But I do love giving gifts, so it was still a wonderful treat to receive. The package was the latest of Gold Medal’s wine of the month offerings.
Inside the well designed packaging I found two bottles of wine (2005 Belvedere Chardonnay, and 2004…
