DEALS O’ THE WEEK, 2010 BLACK FRIDAY DEALS

November 15th, 2010

BLACK FRIDAY
Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving when stores go in the black financially) is next week! Some stores are starting their Black Friday deals early, so be on the lookout for ads between now and Black Friday.
To find the best deals check out the ads ahead of time at any of these sites: http://www.iblackfriday.com, http://www.blackfridayads.com/, http://www.blackfriday.info/, http://www.blackfriday.info/sales/, http://www.theblackfriday.com, http://www.dealtaker.com/blackfriday.html, http://www.bargainist.com, http://www.ultimatecoupons.com/coupons/black_friday_coupons.htm, http://www.blackfriday2010.com, http://www.retailmenot.com/blackfriday/, http://www.bfads.net, or http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/.

Plot your route from store to store to decrease wasted time which may cause you not to find the items in stock. Note that most stores have a very minimal stock of their best deals, sometimes as little as 2 items in stock per store.

Try to find the minimally stocked items online on their web-site. Some stores are offering free shipping when purchasing online.

And if you are planning to camp out overnight to stay in line to get the best deals, make sure you stink real bad. It might help you move up in line.

ENTERTAINMENT BOOK
Get 20% off on all 2011 Entertainment Books. Free shipping! Deal ends 11/23.
Click here to order:
ENTERTAINMENT BOOK DEAL

PD & SUN NEWS
Buy the PD and get the Sun News for 1 cent at Dave’s Supermarket.

CREDIT CARDS
Are you getting the best rewards for your credit card? Is you interest rate too high? Find the best reward cards and interest rates at Creditcards.com.

As the biggest spending season arrives it’s good time to be aware that paying the minimum on your credit is like paying double on everything you buy when you include the amount of interest that is paid.

ATLAS CINEMAS
Although Cinemark closed their second run theater in Willoughby Hills recently, there is another theater that is locally owned with some decent deals for first run movies. Deals for Atlas Cinemas can be found at http://www.atlascinemas.net/deals.aspx.

They have weekday deals like $5 Mondays, combo pop/popcorn purchase savings plus a 2 for one admission with its purchase Monday through Thursday, and bonus loyalty award stamps with every popcorn and ticket purchase on Mondays to Thursdays. Half priced tickets are available at several radio and TV station websites on the link above. For instance, there are deals for Max & Ermas and Chester’s Legacy Tavern BOGO entree deals with a free 2 for 1 movie ticket available at http://www.welw.com.

Discounted tickets can be found in the Entertainment book and Our Town and All Around coupon book. The coupon in the Our Town book is for up to 20 admissions at matinee pricing. They don’t have restrictions on discount tickets, and they also allow deals to be combined.

To get the Our Town book go to: http://www.joethecouponguy.com/merchandise/index.htm
And with each Our Town book ordered get a free 2 for 1 pass for Atlas Cinemas – pass valid Sunday through Thursday – limited offer while supplies last!

TIME WARNER
While I was watching cable the other night the shows on a dozen channels or so were frozen for about a couple hours. Time Warner apparently had some technical issues. The good news is that everyone that experienced the issue can get a credit. The bad news is that they will credit your account anywhere from 2 to 5 cents. Yes, cents. I’d rather get a couple chipmunk pelts.

GANDER MOUNTAIN
Vital-Shok Truball Rifled Slugs – 99 cents after $4 rebate
Silver XP Hunters Pack doe estrus – $4.99 (save $10)

…never did I think I’d be telling thousands of people about the best underwear deals. It’s all good. Maybe one day I’ll open a store called Joe’s Secret. I’d put indicators on the underwear when it needed to transition into being a rag to wash cars.

BBB
An investigative team did a great job in finding discrepancies on BBB ratings. Companies with hundreds of complaints got better grades than companies with one complaint. Paying for membership got them better grades. I noticed the issue when we would travel and the hotel, although seemingly top notch, didn’t get a good grade or none at all. After talking to the hotel management they said that they didn’t want to pay the annual fee just to get a good grade or graded at all. It made me wary that the hotel couldn’t afford the fee, but also made me question BBB tactics. But I can make the determination about how good they were with the number of complaints. I like Travelocity’s ratings better though since travelers would report what they found with the hotel.

You’ll get a kick out of what they did to uncover the BBB’s credibility issues.

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT AUCTION
Ends Tuesday 11/16!
I’m being auctioned off! Junior Achievement holds an auction once a year to help support the organization. If you have the winning bid, I’ll go shopping with you at agreed upon locations where you can learn my tips and secrets to saving tons of money. I’ll teach you how to save 70% and more grocery shopping on a consistent basis and over 90% toiletry shopping. If you have a hard time saving money, I’ll help you learn how to save more!

Regarding JA, I’ve been a JA teacher for many moons. I teach the kids money saving ways, budgeting, and financial responsibility and they eat it up. The kids are in seventh grade and you’d be surprised at how much they appreciate learning it. Many parents and even schools don’t cover economics and how to manage your money, so the program I teach really benefits the kids. JA also teaches many other topics. It’s a great organization and I’m happy to support it.

Auction begins: November 9th at 12:00 p.m.
Ends: November 16th at 8:00 p.m.

Here is the link to bid on me. Bidding starts at $100.

Happiness is ….skipping.

THE HOLIDAYS
About this time of the year some people get sad. The holidays might remind them of bad relationships with family, lost loved ones, or rememberance of crappy presents that a drunken Santa Claus gave them. Things happen for a reason. But instead of being sad, think of things you can do to make you happy. When I get sad I skip. Go ahead and try it now. I’ll wait. ……see what I mean! There is absolutely no way you can be sad and skip at the same time. Did you ever see someone crying while they were skipping? I haven’t. It just can’t be done I say. It’s like sneezing and keeping your eyes open. It’s impossible.

Another thing to try is to speak with a new accent. When I worked at a telemarketing agency during college I got bored one day and decided to speak with a Texas twang. I went through the whole phone survey while doing my best country drawl. The other person didn’t know who I was so they had no idea I was faking an accent. The people I worked with near me did and they looked at me funny when I started it. They were amused with it as will you if you give it a try. So next time you are at a store, speak with the person in a totally different voice. It will make you happy,

Next try telling complete strangers how you feel. One day while I was drinking coffee I told the waitress how I miss my pet opossum. It’s beady eyes and loving hisses just brought me back to the days of when life was more peaceful. We used to play in the yard and it would give me these scratches because it loved me so much. I’ll never forget the time when it was in the garbage eating some discarded food and I decided to surprise it. I snuck up on it and yelled “Boo!” It must have really loved me because it gave me extra scratches that day.

So get out of your funk by trying some new behavior that will keep you from thinking about things that make you depressed. It worked for me!

BURGER KING
