DEALS O’ THE WEEK

November 16th, 2009

THE WAVE
I found out some waving etiquette for bikers, runners, etc. from people who get my e-mail. I even found that people in wheelchairs wave to others in wheelchairs.
I found out some waving etiquette for bikers, runners, etc. from people who get my e-mail. I even found that people in wheelchairs wave to others in wheelchairs.

Here was another persons synopsis of how the waves work:
The wave: Runners wave to runners, bikers (on 10 speeds). Bikers (on 10 speeds) wave to other bikers and runners. Motorcycles wave to motorcycles. Walkers nod to runners. Runners nod to walkers. There now you have it.

I think I might develop a flow chart on this. I will even get on a tricycle to see how people react to me. I need to know who will wave or nod as I trudge on by. And if I skip by a runner will they nod? How about a walker? And if I skip with a wildy exaggerated gallop, will I get a heartier wave? Does this system just work only on the road or does it work in stores or other areas too? Does eye contact matter? Where does curtsying fit into all of this?

Damn my brain for making me think these things. Now I won’t be able to ride my bike in peace and anonymity. Maybe if I wear a helmet it means I am invisible and I don’t have to partake in these rituals. Or instead I will start my own ritual by shaking the hand of everyone that goes by me. Yes, that will work. I’m running with this one…

BUY ME!

November 11th, 2009


Do I hear $105, $105. Hebida, hebida, how about a bid by ya…

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT
I’m being auctioned off! My shopping skills that is. If you’ve ever wanted to become a super-saver and have a hard time keeping up with how deals work and have run into issues, then bid for my services. I will go shopping with you at agreed upon location(s) and show you how to save 70% and more while grocery and toiletry shopping or other store(s). I’ll teach you how to save more. The minimum bid starts at $100. You could save yourself tens of thousands of dollars over a lifetime, so it’s a bargain.

Monies raised from the auction will go to Junior Achievement. It’s a great cause that helps kids learn life skills, many of which aren’t being taught in school. I’ve taught mostly 7th graders Personal Economics for many years. This past year I even heard back via my web-site e-mail from a parent thanking me for teaching their child, so these programs do make a difference. Even the kids have written me thank you cards that are inspiring. I’d also recommend signing up to teach a Junior Achievement class.

It’s an on-line auction. Many other items are being auctioned on the site. Click here to sign up to start bidding:

A LITTLE STORY
The weather was great this past weekend. We decided to take a bike ride. We rode past the usual assortment of road kill. Opposum, squirrel, snakes, chipmunks, deer, and something that looked like an artichoke.

I just wonder what happens to all the acorns the squirrels bury after they’ve been hit by a car. My guess is that there is a lazy squirrel that hangs around the neighborhood just watching where all the other squirrels bury their acorns, just knowing that they will end up as road kill. I bet it keeps a diary of buried acorns using a mapping system. If I find one of these diaries I’m gonna mess with the lazy squirrel by erasing the acorns locations and instead mark a spot with an acorn under the road.

During our bike ride we passed a lot of people walking, on bikes, motorcycles, and cars. I noticed that there is a unwritten rule that I must wave or or make a gesture to other bike riders. I wasn’t sure if that also meant people on motorcycles. I’m on a 10 speed and they are on a Harley. If I wave I might have break a rule that bike riders can’t wave or acknowledge people in cars or motorcycles. I believe there must be police hiding waiting to write out misdemeanors for people that mix up the wave system. I wasn’t sure if I should wave so to test it I did one of those waves like a first grader does after their Mom leaves after dropping them off at school. The guy acknowledged me back with a wave.

Another person on a ten speed passed by and I readied a wave. This time I tipped my cap. They just kept riding by. How rude I thought. I respectfully gestured hello and they just kept going. I turned around and caught up with them. I then lectured them on the rules of fellow bike rider acknowledging. There must be a wave structure and it must never be messed with.

As I turned the corner I noticed a squirrel waving at me. I decided I must give it a less enthusiastic wave since it wasn’t on any mode of transportation as I was. Before I got around to waving, I saw it looking at a diary. I ran it over.

VETERANS DAY FREEBIES

November 6th, 2009


VETERANS DAY FREEBIES
For the active military and veterans:
APPLEBEE’S – Applebee’s is offering a free entree on Wednesday to veterans and all active-duty military from 11 a.m. to midnight at all 1,900 locations. Although Applebee’s requests some kind of military ID, “We’re not going to argue with folks who might forget to bring it,” says Sam Rothschild, senior vice president of operations.

McCORMICK & SCHMICKS – For the 11th year in a row, the 87 locations in 25 states are offering free entrees to veterans on Sunday, 11/8. The chain also requests military ID and highly recommends reservations. The promotion is on Sunday instead of Veterans Day, “because it allows vets to bring their families who might not be available during the week,” CEO Bill Freeman says.

GOLDEN CORRAL
– The 485-unit chain is offering free buffet meals — including beverage and dessert — to current military and vets on Monday, Nov. 16, from 5 to 9 p.m. No military ID is required for its ninth annual Military Appreciation Monday, says Dolly Mercer, national events manager. The event is held on this date, she says, “so we don’t interfere with Veterans Day activities.”

OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE– free bloomin onion and beverage
KRISPY KREME – free donut
LOWES & HOME DEPOT – 10% discount
NATIONAL PARKS & FORESTS – Free to All on Wednesday, 11/11

DEALS O’ THE WEEK, POST-HALLOWEEN DEALS

November 2nd, 2009

GIANT EAGLE
The store I went to said that they can’t take internet coupons over $1 now. One of the reasons I don’t like internet coupons. They keep changing the rules on them. Plus it costs consumers to print their own coupons. They need to keep them in the newspapers.

The Willoughby store accepted the GetGo $1 Transfer/New Prescription coupon from the Wadsworth store. The coupon was in the Wadsworth store ad for the grand opening.

Their Halloween candy went to 75% off. Some were half off, but most of it was 75% off.
Tyson meat – BOGO (buy-one-get-one-free) – plus use .75 coupon – get it for $1.89 – or use $1.50 coupon found at COUPONS.COM.

Breyers various 4 or 6 packs of yogurt – use .75 coupon to get it for .50 cents
John Morrell Lunch Meat – BOGO – plus use $1 coupon

TGIFRIDAYS
They had 1 cent appetizers if you dressed up for Halloween on Thursday 10/29. They said they do it every year. Another similar deal will come up during Thanksgiving. We got 3 appetizers for 3 cents! If I was at the restaurant and found out that they were doing this deal, but I didn’t have a costume I’d do this. I’d pull the back of my shirt over my head and tell the waiter I was dressed up as Cornholio ala Beavis and Butthead. Viola! One cent appetizers for me.

Use your gift cards for those restaurants before they change their mind or close more under-performing stores. Damons closed stores in Stow, Columbus Pike and Hilliard recently.

Get 3 cents off per gallon with your Speedy Rewards card during the month of November. Stop at Marc’s to buy a Speedway gift card that will get you another 10 cents off per gallon.

SHOPPING TIP
Many people like to get gift cards as gifts. Problem is with the bad economy an increased number of stores will probably go bankrupt in the coming year leaving most gift cards worthless. Avoid gift cards if you can. Instead get gifts that have some meaning. People have gotten away from giving non-gift card gifts because of the convenience of getting gift cards. Look for gifts to go on sale now before you decide at the last minute to get a Chia Pet. Instead get a real cool gift like mustard or tape. Oh so useful and with mustard people can use it all year long. There’s no telling when that stuff gets old.

A LITTLE STORY
I was doing some yard work the other week. First on my list was to chain-saw some wood. I thought to myself that maybe I can build a fort using the wood I cut. I would make it so big that not even Vikings or Somali pirates would want to attack me. Then I looked at the pile and realized that I probably had just enough to build a baby crib. So I started to build a baby crib. I then realized that I don’t have any babies to put in the crib. I looked around some shrubs for babies of any sort, but came up empty handed, except I found a cool looking stick that looked like a boomerang, so I threw it….it didn’t come back.

My search for babies ended fruitlessly, but I decided to make good use of the crib. I took a nap in it. It was very uncomfortable so I put some leaves and old grass clippings in it to soften it up. After some short dreams about the limitations of margarine for baking and some sleep drooling I awoke to a clamor. There had to be about fourteen or fifteen crickets making a racket. I threw a slipper at them, but they kept making noise. I tried to reason with them, but they seemed to be ignoring me. I couldn’t be too sure since their eyes were too small for me to tell if they even were paying attention to me. That was until some Vikings came by and squished them with their clubs and hammers. You never know when a bad thing turns out good…

PRODUCE TOUCHING
Do you wash off your vegetables and fruits before you eat them? Now let’s count the people who touch your produce. First the farmer and his kids may paw at your fruit and vegetables when they are checking their crops. Next are the people who may pick the produce. It sure gets hot and sweaty out in the fields. Next the shipper takes them and it goes to the seller. Lift. Touch. Open. Touch. Nobody checks to see if any of these people wash their hands before handling the produce and a lot of drinking fluids are needed during all these chores.

Next are the people who buy the produce. I don’t know about you, but I usually analyze each one I buy. I look for any rotted areas, bugs, mold, images of Potsie Weber or Nipsey Russel on them, foreign nodules, and more. Figure that maybe there may be at least a few other customers that handle the produce you buy. Then unless you bagged it already the cashier then jingle jangles it trying to find the code on it – I also like the, “what is this” question, waving a sprig of mint or rhubarb.

So figure that there is a glaze of people film on each item you buy. The wax and preservatives gum it up more too. So think of the produce you buy as a candy apple with lots of layers of goodies on it. And I’m sure there are a always a batch that gets dropped on the floor and put right back on the display. Canned produce never looked so good. And now you will always think of this story when you buy produce for the rest of your life.
