Quick Tips On This Frugal Black Friday
Posted on November 28, 2008 - Filed Under Friday Frugality, Personal Finance | Leave a Comment
Part of the Friday Frugality Series - Previous in series
Today is Black Friday, though I’ve barely heard that phrase this year and don’t know of any actual deals going on today. Still, I have a feeling that if my regular Frugal Friday readers aren’t out shopping for deals, they’re probably still in recovery mode from yesterday’s National Day of Overeating. So I’m just going to drop some quick news/tips/whatever with y’all.

As y’all know, my squabble with my webhosting company blew up over the last few days. It flowed not only into email but on to two other blogs in addition to this one as well. End results - one guy, John Raul, apparently lost the sponsorship of his blog (or possibly his job, or possibly nothing at all); Top Hosting Center’s CEO, Eric Vanier, is…
GEICO Car Insurance Knows Customer Service
Posted on September 22, 2008 - Filed Under Personal Finance | Leave a Comment
Last September I wrote a post titled Lies of a Gecko in which I took GEICO to task for their “we’re lowering Californians’ auto insurance rates” advertising campaign. They hadn’t lowered mine at all :( Well a couple of weeks back I received my semi-annual auto insurance renewal and this time they reduced my six month insurance rate from $252.10 (a $4 reduction from last fall’s bill) to $195.30. Now that’s what I call savings!
Apparently this was a result of my…
Looking At Long-Term Investment Results
Posted on August 10, 2008 - Filed Under Personal Finance | Leave a Comment
Last night I stumbled into a conversation with a co-worker on the real-world effects of inflation and how it effects savings. We discussed what savings we’ve done over the last several years and I veered into a tangent about why I prefer to immediately invest my savings in precious metals (gold and silver) rather than hang onto individual bills (mattress account), keep the money in the bank, or invest in the stock market. As often happens when discussing economics I…
Looking For Endless Coupons? Look No Further

The first thing you should do when realizing that you need a new widget or doodad is head to the internet and do some research. Once you’ve decided exactly which gizmo you’re going to buy the only sane next step is to look around for a coupon code.
I’ve long been an advocate of shopping online to save both time and money, but as the economy continues…
Black Friday Came Early This Year
Posted on November 22, 2007 - Filed Under Shopping | Leave a Comment
I’ve been carefully watching the Black Friday deals as they began to be leaked about a month ago. I do this every year looking for new tech gadgets and computer equipment at “rock bottom” prices. Alas, this year’s deals really paled in comparison to previous savings when it comes to electronics. Quite a few major corporate chains actually started serious price slashing earlier this week, but the electronics deals were pretty much all on old crap that only seems to…
