PURPLE SHAMROCK
The Purple Shamrock at Shoregate Shopping Center in Willowick is running a promotion throughout the NBA playoffs called, “Heat Lose, You Eat Like a King.” For patrons who are there at the opening tip of a Miami playoff game and stay until the end the restaurant will pick up the food tab if the Heat get beat. After they beat the Celtics I sure hope the Bulls will help give away some free meals. And I wonder if the team playing against them is up by a good amount in the fourth quarter does that mean people just jam in some more food orders before the game ends. I might have to make my way up there.

MORTGAGE RATES
The average rate on the 30-year loan fell to 4.63 percent from 4.71 last week. The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage slipped to 3.82 percent from 3.89 percent. Both are at their lowest points since December. If your mortgage rate is over 6%, I recommend looking into how much money you could save by refinancing. It could be tens of thousands of dollars! Worth the time and effort! Check current rates at http://www.bankrate.com. We refinanced last year because the rates were so good. Paying an additional month each year on the principal will decrease the length of your loan by years.
OLLIES BARGAIN OUTLET

LEN BARKERS PERFECT GAME
Back 30 years ago Len Barker pitched a perfect game for the Cleveland Indians. True or False: I got a base hit off of Len Barker?
Answer: TRUE! I got a base hit off of him at a Suiteholder appreciation day game. It was a day where I got asked to participate in the day where we shagged fly balls a Jacobs field, fielded balls in the infield and played a game. I got to go because I ran Corporate Challenge for our company for many years – it’s a thankless task, so I appreciated that I got picked to go as thanks.
I played softball my whole life, so I took a ton of batting practice before the day. Baseball is much different than softball. Baseballs move so much faster and you have to get your timing down. I just didn’t want to embarass myself. I took batting practice at Jacobs field too that day and was happy to actually hit some balls out of the infield.
During the game I came to bat against Len Barker. To me hitting a baseball was still like trying to throw a ball through a Cheerio. I wanted to crack the ball. I took a pitch or two to get my timing down before I took a swing. I hit one that fell into the outfield. I was giddy and wanted to keep running until I got to home base, but I stayed at first after a heavy turn. I wanted to steal a base too, but there was someone on second.
The crazy thing that happened after that was that the DVD that was made of the day got stolen out of my car when someone broke into it! Thankfully the Indians and my work were able to get me another one. In the video they also show me flagging down a tough fly out – and they repeated like a you’d see in an MTV video. I’d tag it on this blog, but I think I need the expressed written consent of Major League baseball.
GO TRIBE!
CAR RENTALS
If you need to rent a car for a trip your best bet is to first try some car rental aggregator sites like kayak.com or yahootravel.com. They will show you the best rates available. You can reserve a car without having to use a credit card. Just print the reservation.
From there check the car rental agency’s site to see if they have a better deal. Some may have a pre-paid option that is super cheap. Plus use any coupons from the Entertainment book (books are now $12 today – deal on my site). Sign up to the car rental site to possibly get coupons sent to you.
Make sure you list a time hours after you plan to drop it off just in case something happens. Car rental companies charge a ton if you’re late. Fill up on gas at stations further from the airport since many that are real close charge much more. Find the best deals for gas at http://www.gasbuddy.com before you leave to return the car.
AVIS
Avis has some deals. Rent 2 times for 2 consecutive days on each rental by Dec. 31, 2011 and within two weeks, of completing two (2) qualifying rentals, receive a Rental Reward Day certificate via e-mail to be used on a weekday, weekly, weekend or monthly rental.
Now is the time for great deals on one-way rentals from Florida. Drive out of any participating Florida airport location with money-saving rates, unlimited mileage and no drop-off fee!

EYEGLASSES
I saw something that made me very sad. Someone was wearing a pair of glasses, but these were glasses that were missing the one side that goes over your ear. The glasses tilted at an angle favoring the side that had the part that goes over the ear, called the template. Were they too poor to get a new pair? Or maybe her little brother sat on them and broke it that morning and she had to make do. Or was it a new trend. Why pay for that one side when just one will do! Either way I assumed the worst so it made me sad.
I wanted to fix it by using a pencil and rubber band to at least fill in temporarily until they can get a new pair. Better yet they may be aware there is a site where they sell eyeglasses for $39 at 39DollarEyeglasses.com! Aside from getting them from Marcs for cheap this is a site that has the ‘non-reading’ prescriptions for cheap.

MELT
This restaurant makes all things cheese sandwichs. Unique and yummy. They have locations in Lakewood and Cleveland Heights. They’ve been featured by Guy Fieri and Adam Richman (Man vs Food). You can get a discount eating there when you register with http://www.idine.com. You can also get a 25 percent discount for life by getting a tattoo of the restaurant – 80 people have already done so!
Now it makes me think… If someone gets a tattoo of me on their person is there something I can do for them? I could give a discount on my booklet, but there needs to be something more. Maybe I can tell knock knock jokes each month to them. Or maybe I can imitate some birds whistles they can use as a ring tone. I got good at it delivering papers when I was younger. There was always birds jibber-jabbering so I would imitate them. Soon after I would have some pretty long conversations with the birds on my route. We’d talk politics and about the neighborhood goings-ons. They’d invite me to their birthday parties and stuff.
Better yet, if someone gets a tattoo of me I will cut their hair when they want. I’m no good at it, but it’s a service I’m willing to do. So let me know if you get a tattoo of me. I’ll come over with my Flowbee if you do!

WALMART
The store in Madison is doubling!!! They are doubling coupons of 99 cents and less. No limits. They have to do it manually.
There was a K-Mart across the street that went out of business and it looks like they are trying to put the Giant Eagle there out of business too. Great sign to see them doubling. Unprecedented in the area. Located at 6067 North Ridge Rd. I haven’t heard of any other Wal-Marts doubling in the area.
FREAKS
Going shopping I find a plethora of people in various stages of dress. Some I find quite entertaining and some, well, they scare me. Here I was kidding around last week about dressing like a goof and going shopping. Yes some people actually think nothing of dressing like a scamp or 70’s reject and going shopping out in public. Bless their hearts as they add some pizzaz to my shopping trip.
Speaking of Wal-Mart, check out these freaks at Wal-Mart – yes, these are real pics of people that shop there. I admire their moxie. These fashion plates think nothing of it. It’s like free entertainment!

Thoughtful Lance. Mirthful Lance. Two sides of a delightful coin.
GAS PRICES
The price of a barrel of oil dropped more than 10% this past week. Funny how when the price of a barrel of oil increases rapidly so does the price of gas at the gas stations, yet when it drops it takes awhile for the price to drop at the gas stations. Gas use has dropped with the high prices. As I mentioned the other week even Saudi Arabia decreased production because they couldn’t find buyrs, so the commodoties brokers sold off and made their profits. The death of Osama Bin Laden and some poor economic news also helped. I’d expect the price to drop to the $3.75 range very soon. Check for the best gas prices at http://www.gasbuddy.com.

THINGS I’VE NOTICED WITH ALL THE RAIN
10) I’ve grown some gills.
9) The neighorhood cats have built rowboats to pick up drowned mice and chipmunks.
8) The high dewpoint really messes up my afro.
7) Anything I plant including gum will grow quite nicely.
6) For safety I need to wear a lifejacket at all times.
5) Stores with roof leaks now use 18 gallon garbage cans to collect water instead of small buckets.
4) Hearing rain on the roof all day makes me sleepy.
3) Being confined to my house indoors because of the rain, I’ve noticed some extra people live in my house.
2) Putting Palmolive on top of my car and leaving it out in the rain thoroughly washes my car.
1) My fingers are pruning and there is moss growing on the north side of my head.

RED PLUM
Below is an updated list of the Red Plum coupon insert schedule. It changed some since the beginning of the year. There weren’t any Red Plum inserts this past week.
Red Plum inserts get mailed to homes in the Cleveland area because they say the PD newspaper circulation doesn’t reach Red Plum’s threshold. It stinks because if they don’t get delivered for some reason there is no recourse to get them. If they were in the paper you can contact the PD to have them send you the set that was missing or get a paper with it at the store. Plus you can get extra sets if they are in the paper. Hoepfully one day they’ll get them back in the papers.
You can get the Red Plum insert in the Akron Beacon Journal. The ABJ usually has a smaller set of inserts though. You can get a bigger set of Smart Source inserts along with P&G inserts in the PD. The Red Plums mailed to Cleveland area homes tends to be bigger. Also know that some other parts of the country get more (and sometimes less) coupons distributed to them.

TIME WARNER CABLE
Did you experience problems with your cable this past week? I did. The picture on the screen would freeze and then it would come back on. Some of the faces the people would make when frozen was comical. Yet, it was annoying. And annoying enough for me to call them up to request a credit. They creditted my bill $4.12. Not a ton, but enough to make me feel better and get a free Big Mac (or two with my BOGO coupon). Someone else told me they got over $7 back. The longer the outage you report, the larger the credit. Call them at 1-877-772-2253 to get your credit. They had the gall enough to pimp their bundled service on the call. Yeah like I’d want to get their overpriced broken service with my internet and phone calls too. And the funny thing, there was a message on their call that their billing services were down too.

ONLINE COUPON CODES
Did you ever try to buy something online and it asks you for a promo or coupon code, but you don’t know what they are. There are a good many sites that list them. They are http://www.naughtycodes.com, http://www.PromotionalCodes.com, http://www.CouponWinner.com, http://www.couponcabin.com, and http://www.PromoCodes.com. I even list some on my link at http://www.joethecouponguy.com/links/index.htm
My favorite is naughtycodes because it freaks people out because it looks like you are going to a naughty site. Just don’t misspell codes as coeds. Otherwise, you will see something naughty.

VACATIONSTOGO.COM
Want to go for a cruise on the cheap? Check out http://www.vacationstogo.com, http://www.cheapcaribbean.com, http://www.cruisecompete.com, and http://www.cruise.com. Some are last minute deals, but you’ll find many that are 70% off and more that are for months away if nto longer.
We used vacationstogo.com to do a cruise to Hawaii for 80% a few years back. It was a $5,000 cruise – balcony, 7 night, on Norwegian – for $1,000. They had inside cabins for $599! And it was a great cruise. We bumped into some that took their family and they paid the $5,000 each! Bummer for them. We did Alaska on Royal Caribean for $1,100 for a 7 night balcony using them too.
There are some 7 night cruises to the Caribbean for $299! It can be cheaper to cruise than to rent an apartment plus you get free meals with free seconds, a free gym, free entertainment, free towels shaped as animals, and more!
I like cruises that don’t have many days at sea. I want to see places and not spend time stuck on a boat. Days at sea cost the cruiseline less since they don’t have to pay port fees.
Inside rooms are the best value. You pay $200 extra or more just to have a small oceanview window that is covered by a curtain.
Be sure to get to your destination a day early and not the day of the cruise. It will cost you a bundle to get flown to the first port if you miss the boat. One time we saw people waving at the dock for the boat to stop because they got there late. The boat kept chugging out. I took pictures of them.
