The Superbowl, Funny Commercials, and Parties

, , , ,

superbowlxxx

The Superbowl is upon us again. More incredible funny commercials, parties everywhere. So how will you stock pile your party? How much will it cost? All good questions. I have a thought. How about some money saving coupons to help take the burden from your party off of your wallet. I know I am the type of person that enjoys throwing a good party but I never ask anyone to bring anything. It is my one gift each and every year to family and friends. I was just raised that way, good bad or indifferent. That is me. So I throw this party and I do not ask anyone to bring anything. Sure people always show up with something, a plate of this or that, a bottle of this and that. But they never are made to feel like they have to bring it. That is just me.

Coupons And Savings

There are so many places that will help you out with valid good coupons to assist your party and your wallet. I use them all and I score all the time. Coupons make me able to afford party throwing, which we all know can get expensive. This is probably the reason more people do not throw them. So where can we all get some coupons and free samples of stuff to use each and everyday, as well as the days that just move us to toss a party, like the Superbowl. This years contest is called by many as the “Har-bowl” because it is the first time in the history of the NFL that two brothers face each other in the capacity of head coach. Brothers have faced off against each other before, but never as coaches. In fact this last New England vs. Baltimore AFC championship had brothers on opposing sides.

So this years party will be exciting for everyone regardless of who you are rooting for. But it will be especially gratifying for the coaches and their families, as they attempt to not be torn between the two brothers. Regardless of this situation, my party has to be just right. So I will be relying on coupons, free samples, and just about anything else that I can get my hands on to make this party the best one yet. Congratulations to the S.F. 49ers (representing the NFC) and the Baltimore Ravens (AFC).

Toys R Us Price Match

Toys R Us Price Match

As my kids have gotten older and older, I have found myself missing the Toys R Us days more and more. My kids now have focused their attention on electronics and not so much toys. Best Buy is where I ended up most of the time now. But with the new Toys R Us price match, I have to be a smarter consumer and check prices in both places. Especially since their interest are video games and the consoles.

Toys R Us is making a premium push for your business and mine with the price match program. They also have their Rewards program, which does send me coupons every couple of months. Many times the main coupon will be for a $5.00 off any purchase. I do use this most of the time, although I must admit I have tossed out a few of them due to expiration of date of use. This really hurts me, because you might as well be throwing $5.00 into the garbage.

I do have nieces and nephews that still enjoy the occasional toy and I use the Toys R Us coupons and rewards from time to time on them. Also these rewards and coupons are also good at any Babies R Us as well. So if you anyone that is having a baby, you can spend the coupons and rewards on them at these baby supply stores.

Many different store use price match. For instance The Home Depot will price match anything from Lowes. Best Buy will match prices from just about any of the competition that sells any of the items that they sell to include; refrigerators, kitchen stoves, televisions, computers, and video’s and game consoles. Although Toys R Us has pretty much wiped out the toy competition, with stores like Play World, and Kay-bees are no longer around, there is still plenty of prices to match. There is still some competition from stores like Target, Walmart, and other stores that sell toys but not at their level of specialty. Still it is something that I plan on taking advantage of.

My Favorite Animal Is Fried Chicken?

, ,

kfc fried chicken

Our teacher asked us what our favorite animal was, and I said, “Fried chicken.” She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right, everyone else in the class laughed.

My parents told me to always be truthful and honest, and I am. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef.

Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal’s office. I told him what happened, and he laughed too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, just like she’d asked the other children. So I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal’s office again. He laughed, and told me not to do it again.

I don’t understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn’t like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most. I told her, “Colonel Sanders”.

Guess where I am now…

IKEA Coupons – Making Shopping Easier

ikea gift cardsIKEA Coupons And Savings

For many, many months my brother has been bragging about Ikea and the Ikea coupons and savings. I disregarded him and the notion of practical furniture. Boy was I wrong. Especially with the items I found in the Ikea kitchens section. My kitchen is not a very big, kitchen and soon I will be posting up pictures of it on this site, but I was able to practically transform the kitchen with many items from the best furniture for my money.

Many of the items in this store are practical and space saving, and with the amount of junk in my home, I can certainly benefit from a store like this, I am guessing so can many other home owners. The Ikea website can be used for many of the same in store purchases, in fact I prefer to use the website, because in my town this store’s popularity has gone through the roof, and on the weekends it is pretty tough to move around in it, recession or not. I have been searching the Internet for Ikea coupons, and I have yet to find something that is worthy of pointing for the true Ikea fan. I have heard of the Ikea discounts, but most of those have come in the way of sales at the store.

The IKEA Gift Card

I have found a new gift to put on my brother’s wish list, as well as many other friends and family members, the Ikea gift card. It is practical and just about everyone can find something in the furniture friendly store to suit their needs. I have just noticed that some of the home builders have turned to this store furnishing their model homes and I have to believe that as the recession begins to dwindle their will be more construction and more models that will exhibit the Ikea brand of furniture. I would like to thank my brother for pointing this store out to me and I would like to offer the readers of this site the opportunity to provide you with the best chance to acquire Ikea coupons to use in this great furniture store.

IKEA Review And Where To Get IKEA Coupons

IKEA couponsIKEA Coupons

Regardless of what you have seen in the pictures, all of the colors do not have to coordinate. With IKEA Coupons there is something for every taste, be it red, white, and blue or yellow, green, and black. The fact that so many items come in so many colors, is what makes this such a fun store.

On the top of my gift selections, I have a new number one. The IKEA gift card, I cannot believe that any one person who strolls this magnificent store, will come away thinking that there was not anything in there that they needed. Highly doubtful of that scenario ever playing out, don’t you agree? I am not saying mindless spending either, I am taking practicality here. The thought behind the IKEA style store has caught on like wildfire here in the U.S. I have seen new homes remodeled with furniture from this store and it looks incredible. If there are rooms in your home, that are short on space, I have seen many space saving bed towers with computer stands and drawers, that have been on sale of late. There are many models to choose from, and of course the colors as well.

Where To Get IKEA Discounts

From light fixtures, cabinets, to book shelving and book cases, there is not anything you won’t find for the home. IKEA discounts run rampant as well, you can be sure to save on just about everything. I have been searching the web for IKEA coupons, and I believe that I have found a few that are worth sharing for those interested. Whether you are already an IKEA fan, or just started coming around to the superstore, this site will have something for everyone. If there is any information that you would like to share with me, please feel free to do so. I can be located at the email address located in the contact page. Thank for reading the post and keep on shopping with IKEA coupons.

Kingdom Keepers – Disney After Dark

Book Review:

Matthew Jimenez

 

The book can be purchased at Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, and many other different bookstores and Internet shops. The price of the book in the U.S. is approximately $8.99.

The book offers the readers a thrilling and adventurous journey in Disney World after hours, when pirates and Disney Villains come to life. The book offers great fun, reading excitement, and great value for the low price of $8.99. I recommend the book to anyone who is looking to get thrust into a thrilling, well written, wholesome adventure. I myself have been to Walt Disney World over 6 times this year and last, and my next trip will be highlighted by some of the memories from the book.

Using Facebook For Stupidity Absolute!

facebookclown

Well many people enjoy the perks of a free facebook account and with connecting with old friends, staying in touch with family, friends and loved ones is the norm. There is also keeping tabs on your kids, and this beauty…this young fellow a mere 18 years did use facebook for something noteworthy and shameful, well what the heck down right stupid!  He confessed to a hit and run accident and was consequentially arrested, when his own facebook friends did the right thing and turned him in. Take a page out of these two do-gooders that had the holiday nuts to turn him in. Earning Mr. Cox-Brown the facebook clown award.

Upon reading Cox-Brown’s post, two of the 18-year-old’s Facebook friends contacted the Astoria Police Department to report it; it became vital information after two officers responded to a 1:00 am report of a hit-and-run, which left a white Scion plus an adjacent vehicle damaged in their parking spots. Luckily no one person was injured because of this stupid act. Which reminds us all that accidents will happen, if you get into one just stop and call the police. If you are driving drunk, then stop and call the police and go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars…

3 Reasons Why Ikea Coupons Really Save You Money!

3 Reasons Why Ikea Coupons Really Save You Money!

I am here to tell you the (3) three main reasons that you should use the Ikea coupons to save you money. Ikea online coupons are easy to get and there are many different ways to obtain them.  I will show you how valuable they really are.  The coupon from Ikea that is posted to the left of this article, shows one of the many promotions that this furniture giant store promotes throughout the year,  Since purchasing furniture and other household items are usually large in price, unless there is an immediate need for one item in particular, there should be no reason why purchases like these cannot be planned, in fact I am here to tell you that they should be planned. So plan your next furniture purchase, and use your free Ikea gift card as a reward!

The reasons for using these online coupons are simple. Savings, savings, savings!  I mean let’s face it carrying around coupons is not the funnest thing in the world to do, but it is one of the soundest financial things to do!  That makes it fun for me.

So why do these Ikea coupons really save you money?

They save you money because from the bottom line of the your purchase, in the case of this displayed coupon, if you spend over $100.00 (which is easy to do) you get to deduct the amount that you spent on lunch or breakfast at the Ikea restaurant.  I mean after all you have to eat, when I go to Ikea with this coupon I take my whole family (5) and we run up a tab of about $40.00 to $50.00.  That equates to 50% give or take of any purchase of $100.00!  This is a neat coupon.  Although this one has expired, look for many others in the up and coming months like this.

They also save you money because, as just announced, the Ikea furniture has decided to slash their prices this year an extra 2% to 3% depending on the items for sale.  That is another substantial savings added to the bottom line of your purchase.  Most prices throughout the store will reflect this drop in prices, so all you have to do is eat and shop! These online or in store coupons save you money because these incentives are usually given to you because stores like these have to compete with other furniture stores, and in this recession that refuses to leave us, many large companies like this are loyal to their customers and this is a great way for them to reward the consumer for their loyalty. Don’t forget that Ikea gift cards are not coupons, but they do make a neat gift for that someone special. Get your free gift card today!
