Clearance jackpot!

It included stuff like three faucets (including one worth $138), a drill, copper tubing, teacup planters, and dozens [...]

Another Black Friday has come and gone, and we have some stories to tell. The in-person Black Friday shopping was disappointing, but we got some sweet deals online (I’ll talk about those at the end of this post). We wanted to buy some things from Wal*Mart, but apparently so did everybody else. The freeway was [...]

It’s that time of the year again–deal time!! We decided to do a warm-up run before Black Friday just to brush up on our skills. Then we did our infamous Black Friday series; and we even added some more deals that we don’t normally do: food! We actually didn’t have anything we really wanted to [...]

Birthday madness

Published by on August 9, 2010 | 4 Responses

It was my birthday last week. I’m 26 and I’m really feeling the effects. Despite my quickly aging body, we were able to go out and do some fun stuff. REI had a “garage sale” with tons of heavily discounted items. We got there half an hour early and there was already a huge line. [...]

Well, a couple of weeks ago Jon and I thought we’d step up our exercise game and get bikes so that we could save on gas $ and get a little bit of a work out at the same time.  I know from the pictures they look pretty cool, by my bike was only $60 [...]

We had an uber-successful shopping season this year! About a week ago, we found a 24″ LCD full HD monitor for $170 with free shipping on the Dell Outlet website. Thanks to Twitter, I found a $20 coupon. So we got a humongous 24″ monitor for watching movies and viewing recipes while we’re cooking in [...]
